OCCUPY CASA BLANCA |QU|ET ON The RANGE
Increased Number Of Miners Re-
ported to Be Working.
CONDITIONS MORE NORMAL
While There is Still a Possibility of
Trouble TIE Crisis Is Believed
10 Have Passed.

All is quiet in the Hibbing and
Eveieth districts on the Minnesota
iron ran~2 and there has not been
6 sign CT violence as yet. Between
Is and 80 per cent of the usual night
shifts have again returned to work
and there are fully rs per cent more
men working at Eveleth than on the
previous day. About the same in
crease is reported by the independent
companies. Shipping has been re-
sumed from the Burt-Poole and the
Morris open pit mines and from the
Sellers shaft.
The $50 deputies who reached here
Thursday are encamped at the Mum
roeTenner location and 100 more are
expected. The men are sleeping in
tents and they have a car of ammuni-
ton on hand. They are prepared to
go to any part of the range at mo-
ment's notice.
A party of about 600 strikers left
Mountain Iron with the intention Of
marching to the mines in that district
and persuading the miners to lay
down their tools. The party was met
by two armed deputies on bridge
over a little ravine on some of the
companys property and turned back.
The men made no show of violence
and returned to their hall, where they
held a meeting.
While there is still a chance that
trouble will occur the situation is
much brighter and the crisis is be-
lieved to have been passed. 1t is be-
lieved that the men will continue to
drop back into their old positions and
that within few days conditions will
be nearly normal again.

LADS SAVE Three LIVES,
Boys Push Passengers From Track at
Risk of Own Lives,

Elmer Remp and William O'Neil,
two lads employed at Dresbach to de-
liver city papers, saved three people
from almost certain death when two
passenger trains going in opposite di-
rections were passing the Dresbach
station at the same time.
The northbound train had stopped
at the station, had unloaded and load
ed passengers and express and was
pulling out when a southbound pas
senger train came bounding in on an
adjoining track. Mrs. Ida MAYNARD,
Peter Wacter and M. R. Gilbert, who
had alighted from the first train, were
making their way across track toward
the station and depot and did not no.
tice the engine bearing down upon
them. The two boys saw the DANCER
multaneously and rushed to the
needless passengers and pushed them
from the tracks just in time to save
them from being hit by the locomotive.

MASSACRE OF EUROPEANS
Slaughter at Casa Blanca Outcome Of
Arabian Holy War.

Arabian Holy War.
Tangier, Morocco, Aug. 1.-Dr.
Merle, who arrived here on the Ger
man ship which brought number of
Jews and other refugees from Casa
Blanca, is the bearer of report to the
French charge d'affaires here showing
that the slaughter of Europeans in
Casa Blanca was an outcome of holy
war preached by the Arabs for the
determination of Europeans.
On Monday number of Arab chiefs
entered Casa Blanca and demanded
that the harbor Improvement works
cease. The pasha Of Casa Blanca
pointed out that this work was being
done with the sanction of the sultan,
whereupon the chiefs replied that the
sultan was no longer their ruler, as
he obeyed the Christians. They then
began to incite the natives to exter-
inmate all Jews and Europeans.
On Tuesday morning the natives
began their attack by sto1ing a Euro
pean ard when this man tried to flee
he was surrounded and hacked to
pieces. This was the signal for an
other attack and as soon as the dan
ger became known the French and
Spanish residents rushed to their re-
spective consulates for protection
During this flight at least eight were
murdered

Standard Oil Company to Carry Case
to Highest Court.


New York, Aug 3-News Of the
unprecedented fine imposed upon the
Standard Oil company by Judge Ian
dis in the United States court at Chi
oagO was received in New York with
exc&ed interest. The general expec-
tation for some days has been that
the decision would be unfavorable to
the Standard Oil company, but ap-
parently no Cne looked for tie i-npo-
sition OF the maximum penalty on the
1,4C2 counts in the indictment, reach
ing the enormous total of $29, ,24O, 900.
An official of the Standard Oil com
pany said the amount of the fines
evidenced the injustice against the
company.
1.-THE amount of Judge I-andis'
hnes," said the official authoritatively
for the company, "is fifty times the
value of the oil carried under the in
dictment. The total value of oil was
t650,000. .
For each car of oil valued at about
$3.50 we have been fined $4,000. An
appeal will be taken to the United
States circuit court of appeals, but
whether it will be entered at once or
whether the full time allowed by law
will be taken will be determined by
our counsel in Chicago. 4.

NO SIGNS OF VIOLENCE,
Governors Emissary Discusses situa.

G. H. Day, one of the emissaries
sent to the strike district by Governor
Johnson to investigate conditions, re-
turned Saturday and reported every
thing very quiet at Eveleth. The strik-
ers seemed to be convinced that vio-
lence would not help their cause in
any way and they were conducting the
strike very quietly.

strikers were intimidating those who
had refused to join the union and
those who had resumed work, but
found no basis for the charges" said
Mr.. Day. 1T was reported that sew

ing operations of which the Standard
Oil company was fousd guilty and it
is therefore probable that within
short time proceedings will be COM
nenced against the Chicago and Al
ton Railroad company for the alleged
commission of similar offenses.
Court Reviews tho Charges.
Judge Lands, in his decision, said
1t was proven in the trial that the de-
fendant, a corporation Of Indiana, op-
crates an oil refinery at Whiting,
Ind; that the Chicago and Alton Rail-
way company, a corporation of ILL
nois, operates line of railroad from
Chicago to East St. Louis, III. Prior
to the occurrences on which the prose-
cution was based the Chicago and AL
ton company had filed with the inter-
state commerce commission showing
the rates for the transportation of oil
in car lots from Whiting to East St.
Louis to be Is cents per 100 pounds.
The court says it appears at the hear
ing that the defendant shipped it's
for cents and 71A cents to st. Louis.
The defense argued that the Elkins
law authorized the prosecution for
but one offense and maintained that
there could be conviction on only
one count. The court held that the
law Is violated every time any prop
erty Is so transported, as the legal
rate was established by the railroad
company on a car lot basis. The un-
lawful 6-cent rate was granted and
accepted on that basis. AS to the de.
fendant's claim that the representa-.
tions by the Alton road had misled it
into the sincere belief that the Alton
scent rate had been filed with the
interstate commerce commission the
court held that as the law required the
carrier to keep the schedule at it's
freight Office for public inspection it
was the defendants duty to ascertain
at the railroads Office whether the
rate was SO fixed and it being for the
jury to determine whether testimony
exhibited the truth of the transaction.
The jury having found a verdict of
guilty it became the duty of the court
to fix the punishment.
