CHANCES in FAVOR OF PRATT
His Trial ON Charge of Numbering
william ConnetI is Proceed
ing slowly.

IOWA CITY, Ia. Oct. 7.-tSpecial) 1.-THE
trial of Elmer Pratt for the murder of
William Connell is nearing completion, and
II is believed the case will go to the jury
by Wednesday OF this coming week unless
the prosecution and the defense take too
much time in the presentation of their re-
buttal evidence. For three days now the
defense have been introducing testimony
attacking the character of Connell, at
tempting to show that he had a bad repu-
tation.. that he had constantly annoyed
Pratt. thai Pratt was afraid Of him, and
that finally goaded on by many insults, the
defendant killed Connell when he believed
the latter was about to shoot him. All Of
these facts have been brought out by the
thirty or forty witnesses thus far pre-
sented, Including the wife os the defend
ant who was on the stand for day and
half without contradsasiug herself on any
material point. 4...-. g4r7a
But the most important testimony
brought out by the defense to date Is
that of George Avery, a former student
I'm the college of dentistry at the state uni
versty, who is now located in Phiadel-
phia Avery's testimony is that several
days before the shooting Connell came to
the university dental clinic; that Avery
worked on him, and that during the
progress of the work he noticed revolver
in Connelfs hip pocket. II has been the
contention of the prosecution that Connell
never carried revolver. while the de-
fense is built up around the belief that
COnnell reached for gun on the fatal
night. and that Pratt. believing himself to
be in great danger, Immediately shot in
self-defense. 1t is generally believed here
that Pratt will get of with light sem

MITCHELL, s. D.. Oct. 7.-(Special Tele-
gram. .)-This morning on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul road freight train over
the Sioux City and Dakota division crashed
into a switch engine working out on the
main track within the yard limits. Engineer
Denny Sumner and Fireman Weiland were
both killed. The engineer was taken from
his cab. having been scalded to death by
the escaping steam. One leg was cut on
entirely and the other was broken in several
places. He lived about fifteen minutes
after being taken out. Weiland was killed
instantly and being pinned between the
boiler head and the coal gate it was evil
dent that he had turned around to shovel
some coal. The engineer and fireman on
the switch engine jumped In time to save
their lives, the engineer stopping his engine
before the crash came. The freight train
was running about twenty miles an hour
and was coming into the yards around a
curve. which prevented the engineer from
seeing the switch engine. Both engines
remained on the track, due undoubt-
edly to the fact that the switch engine
was standing still.

HIGH PRICE PAID FOR OIL
New York Lubricating OIL Company
shows Up Discrimination
of Railroads.

NEW YORK, Oct. THE difficulties OF
the New York Lubricating Oil company In
it's fight with the Standard OIL company Tor
the business OF railroad fabrication through
out the United States were related today
by Phillip Harrison OF the former company
in the hearing Of the governments suit
against the Standard Mr.. Harrison said
that the Vacuum Oil company, previous to
1894, manufactured lubricating OIL but that
II made an agreement with the Standard
whereby II turned all Of itS lubricating
business over to the Galena Signcl OIL
company, a subsidiary of the STANDARD.
The witness said that his company ma6e
contract with tie Louisville ~ Nash
Vile railroad in 1898 to supply the load
with lubricating oil. On the expiration of
the contract President Milton Smith Of the
Louisville & Nashville refused to renew It,
put would give no reason.
Mr. Kellogg then placed in evidence the
statement of the Galena Signal Oil COM
pany showing that the Louisville & Nash
vile. at the expiration of the contract with
the New York Lubrtcating company, made
contract with the Galena at higher
rate than that paid to the New York COM
pany. Mr.. Harrison said President Smith
had stated in letter that the oils of the
New York Lubrlcating Oil company were
entirely satisfactory.
He added that the Galena agents went to
President Smith and told him that the
Standard was shipping large amount Of
oil on the Louisville & Nashville and that
the road should give the contract to the
Galena.
President Smith told the Galena agents
that he was not paying rebates in that
way" said Mr. Harrison.
MR Harrison testified that the New York
Lubricating oil company had contracts
with the Central OF Georgia railroad and
the Georgia railroad and that the Galena
obtained contracts with the two railroads
at prices which he said he understood were
higher than the prices of the New York
Lubricating Oil company.
