JOHN D. HAS MOST
Record Shows That he Owns 247,-
642 Shares Of Standard +
OIL Stock.
VALUED At sIOs,0OO,OOO
Since the Methods Employed by the
Trust Have Been Exposed HIs
Holdings Have DeprecI-
ated 100000.

New York, Sept. 21.-A record Of tn,
present stockholders Of the STANDARD
OIL company Of New Jersey, part o.
which was placed In evidence Friday
in the federal suit against the oil com
bine, disclosed that John D. Rookie
Teller owns 247642 shares Of stock
and that his holdings are almost five
times larger than the shareholdings Of
any other individual interest The
record shows though. that since the
dissolution of the liquidating trust Mr..
Rockefeller has disposed of nearly
10000 shares Of his holdings. Based
on the present market value Of $440
for Standard Oil stock, Mr.. Rockefel
ler's interest in the company is valued
at about $109,jOO,0O0.
Mr.. Kellogg succeeded in getting up
on the record Friday evidence which
tended to show that the Standard Oil
company had made an agreement to
furnish certain independent companies
in and about Pittsburg with crude oil
on condition that their output Of oil
refined for exporting purposes should
be turned over to the export depart
ment of the Standard Oil company. 1t
was also brought out that the Univer-
sity Of Chicago owns 5000 shares of
the Standard Oil stock.
Accountants for the government are
still engaged on the records of the
liQuidating trustees and ledgers OBJ
tanned from the Standard Oil company,
and while the examination has not
been fully completed, 1t was said
that the books show that since 1882 to
the present time the oil combine has
earned between $SOO,O0O.000 and $780,
100000. 1t is expected that next week
the exact figures viii be produced in
court.
The depreciation in the price of
Standard Oil stock within the past ten
years, about the time the agitation
against the company began has been
more than $500 share. Since the
egal proceedings against the Standard
Dill company Of New Jersey were in
,tituted the stock has steadily de-
lined until it is now around $40.
This represents a loss Of over $780,

A SNAKE INCIDENT. .
The Boy Was Scarci, but Had No
Reason For Fright.

Reason For Fright.
stopped low to pass under an
overhanging limb and found that /
had planted my feet on either side
Of an ugly looking blacksnake about
five feet long, says a writer in For
est and Stream ] knew instantly
that the snake was harmless, but a
crouching tiger, famished and Zero
cious, could not have startled me
more.
The path was on steep hillside,
sheer ascent and descent on each
side, the boy was behind me, and
the head and most of the snakes
body in front, so straight up was my
only line of retreat, and q the very
best of my ability l pursssed it. I
will not attempt to state how high
l jumped, nor will stand for the
boys statement that it was "most
out of sight," but l can truthfully
say that ! jumped just as high as I
could and stayed up as long as /
could.
The snake sprang into the air at
the same time--not trying to strike,
but evidently surprised and startled
and when compelled to return to
the earth we were about in our orig
inal positions. Without a moments
hesitation jumped again, as did
the snake.
With the next jump l combined a
kick, which landed and spoiled the
snakes jump, and, coming down
just right, set my heel with full
weight upon it, causing it to thrash
about desperately for an instant and
then beat hasty retreat. Straight
down the path toward the boy it
went with wide sweeps. l could not
shoot it without endangering him
and could only call out reassuringly:
Stand still. 1t won't hurt YOU"
The distance was not over TWEEN
ty-fve feet, and it took but an in
slant for the snake to cover it. /
hoped it would turn aside from the
path before reaching the boy, but
apparently it had no such inten-
ton.
Just as it reached the little fell
low-standing wide eyed and mo-
tionless-it swerved very slightly to
one side. But the quarters were too
close. With yell all out of proper
ton to his size the boy sprang for a
sapling growing near at hand and
ran up it like squirrel. As his feet
cleared the path / sent a load of
shot into the snake, raking it fore
and aft, and, although | deprecate
the killing of all harmless serpents,
| have not yet felt regret for this
one.
