LIBERTY ON THE
FOURTH.

The Fourth of July committee held
an enthusiastic meeting yesterday at
the board of trade rooms and all ar
rangements are rapidly being COM
pleted for a grand celebration.
The reports of the various commit
tees were read and acted upon, es-
pecially that of the entertainment
committee. 1t has been the aim of
this committee to arrange a day of
sport that will furnish amusement
for the young folks more than for
the elders, and they have arranged
their program accordingly. 1t is the
intention to hold the races on the
Main street and they will consist Of
short dashes, sack and potato races
and several new stunts which orig
mated in the fertile minds of the
committeeman.

laDors, JACK mckenzie Will be one
of the features of the parade with his
horses and wagons decorated up in
fancy style. Several of the leading
business houses have signiied their
intention of putting a float in the
parade. Substantial money prizes
have been offered to make it an in
centive for the business houses to go
to the expense of decorating a float.

BANQUET MARKS
ERA in Mining
Los ANGELES AWAKENING TO
POSSIBILITIES OF SOUTH
ERN NEVADA

The dawn of a new era in the
mining country lying tributary to
the metropolis OF the Southwest was
hailed at the first banquet of the
Los Angeles Chamber of Mines at
Levy's Saturday night, says the Ex-
aminer.
Business men of Los Angeles who
have been slow to appreciate the con
ditions in Nevada saw a great light
as they listened to the stories of
gold and wealth as told by the men
who have conquered the desert and
unearthed riches that were not
dreamed of a few years ago.
Men who thought Los Angeles had
no interest in their welfare as they
toiled in desert or mountain to de-
velop the vast mineral wealth of
the country heard words of encour-
agement and promises of support
from their newly acquired friends,
and ties of friendship that hold men
for life were firmly welded at the
banquet board.
1t was the real awakening of the
business men of Los Angeles to the
immense possibilities of the mining
country, and it constituted an occa-
sion for the laying of the founda.
ton of a reciprocal alliance between
Los Angeles and the Nevada coun.
try.
Over $50 guests were seated al
the banquet table, and sixteen
speakers told the stories of wonder.

splendid trade that is now being de
veloped between Nevada and Los

WATERS-p|ERCE
OIL COMPANY
Found Guilty of Violating the
Antitrust Laws Of Texas
by the Jury.

Austin, Texas, June LIN con-
sequence of the rendering of u
jury verdict to that effect, the
Waters-Picrce Oil Company. of
Missouri, was today adjudged
guilty of violating the antitrust
laws of Texas, convicted of hav-
ing entered the state by fraud,
fined 81 ,623, 900 and the prayer of
the state for ousting proceedings
granted. The defense late this
evening filed a motion for new
trial in line with future steps of
appeals to the State Supreme
Court en- route to the Federal
Courts. The State flied a petition
with District Judge Brooks in line
with the jury verdict praying for
the appointment of u receiver,
also an injunction to restrain the
company from moving any of its
property from the state. The
judge granted temporary injunc-
tion and set the receivership case
for hearing JuneS.
The trial has consumed the past
three weeks in the State District
Court here and its conclusion by
the Jury, by a verdict today Is
merely the beginning of the long
legal battle that is promised before
a conclusion is reached. At the
outset of the proceedings the
defense attempted to secure a
change. of venue on prejudical
grounds but not succeeding in
that they have vainly sought to
secure judgment, apparently to
hasten the course in the Federal
Courts.
The states attorney baked any
such movement, however, and
worked the case out to its conclu-
SION. They had their witnesses
on the stand for ten days. The
defense consumed q trifie of two
days and the case was submitted
without argument.
The jury was out over night,
returning its verdict this morning
as soon as court convened.
The basis of the present legal
controversy is the antitrust laws
of 1889.

ANOTHER KILLING
IN MONROE
A Street Car Motorman Foully
Murdered at Midnight by
Two Negroes.

Monroe, La, June Al. A.
Nettles, employed as motorman
on the street railway, was shot
and killed just before midnight
by two negroes. The shooting
took place between the City
Cemetery and the Jewish Genet
airy, in the eastern part of the
city. Nettles was found beside
the car track by the motorman of
a passing car, and when picked
up he SAID that two negroes shot
him. He died almost Immediately
after giving this information. He
could give no description of his
assaIlants. He was on his way to
the car barn when shot, and 1T is
thought the motive was robbery.
Nettles was very popular with
the street car employees and all
who had any acquaintance with
him. He leaves wife and three
children.
There has been great excite
ment on the streets since the
shooting. and if the perpetrators
are caught there is little doubt
that the result will be lynching.
About twenty-five negroes have
been arrested, but the search will
be kept up until the guilty are
caught, if possible.
The police are still following
every clue, but so far with little
results. Every negro in the city,
whose reputation is in the least
unsavory, is under surveillance.
As usual in cases of this nature,
those arrested absolutely deny
any knowledge of the crime.
There are but very few clues to
work upon, and the negroes who
might throw some light upon the
crime are keeping we'll under
cover.
The remains of Nettles were
shipped to Columbia this morning
where interment took place. He
was a member of the Woodmen
of the World. and was popular
among his friends.
In all probability the shooting
last night will result in a cleans
ing from Monroe of a worthless
loafng class of negroes who are a
menace to the community. No
negroes have been actually run
out, as the authorities are holding
back on this in hope of catching
the guilty ones. The matter will
be taken up later by citizens, who
are becoming thoroughly aroused
over the many outrages which the
bad element among the blacks has
been responsible for during the
past few months.
