he practically had everything his own
way in the endurance race. winning
over Ralph w. Smiths twenty-horse

Nearly 5000 rooters shouted them

to victory, and when Mathewson fin
ished his great ifty-mile endurance
ride, lowering the worlds record for
stock cars from hour, minutes and
1879 seconds to 55 minutes and 43 2-5
seconds, scene was witnessed such

Grubstake Gets a Blow.

San Francisco, Cal.-The United
States Circuit Court has rendered a
decision that is of vital Importance to
all mining communities, and which
will have a direct bearing in cases
pending in many states.
The court holds that a "grubstake"
agreement, that time-honored institu-
ton sacred to all mining men, is not
legally collectible
The decision is made in a case
wherein "Swiftwater Bill Gates was
sued by Isaac l.. Marks of this city
TO recover Sl50,000 on an agreement
made by Marks and Gates in Seattle
on April 27, 1902.
The agreement was that in consider
alton of $1,000 paid by Marks to Gates
the latter was to transfer twenty per
cent. of all the property which should
be acquired either by location, pur-
chase or otherwise in Alaska by
Gates.
The evidence show ed that Gates
owed Marks 11,225. which was wiped
out by Marks. and Gates was given
the sum of $1,000 in cash when the
agreement was made.
Gates went to Alaska and acquired
property valued at S750OOO, out OF
which Marks demanded s150,OO0 as
his share under the agreement
A demurrer was entered on the
ground that the contract was so un-
just and inequitable as not to entitle
the applicant TO relief. The demurrer
was sustained ana the case dismissed.
An appeal was then taken.
Judge Gilbert in his decision states
that the written contract was a bar
gain made in the dark 1t bound Gates
during his lifetime to transfer to
Marks one-fifth interest in all property
of whatever description he might ac.
quire in Alaska by whatever means,
whether by location, purchase, gift or
inheritance, the value of which neither
party could estimate even approx
mately.
Judge Gilbert quotes Justice Bradley
of Missouri in a case of a somewhat
cimilar nature. where the court says:
He comes into court with a very
bad grace when he asks to use its ex.
traordinary power to put him in pos,
session of 100000 worth of stock for
which he only paid $50. The court is
not bound to shut its eyes to the evi.
dent character of the transaction II
will never lend its aid to carry out an
unconsiderable bargain, but will leave
the party to his remedy at law"

Cut Out Middlemen.

Omaha, Neb.-The fight between thu
packers and the stock commission men
over the pui ichases Of she stuff sub
ject to pOst-mortem examination, took
a new turn when Armour G. Co. pur-
chased 800 cows direct from the cattle
raisers, subject to the new rule Of the
packers governing this class of live
stock.

vising shippers and raisers not to ship
stock until the new order is rescinded,
This is the first break in the cattle

Standard OIL Fined $500. COO.

Washington.-The decision of a
Texas jury, filming the Waters-Pierce
Oh Company over a million and hair
dollars for its violations of the anti
trust law and cancellng ITS permit to
do business in the state, is considered
here such a severe blow to the Stand
ard Oil trust that IL may force the
corporation to dissolve before the fed
cral governments cases against it can
h, heard.
The action is one of deep signifi-
canee. 1t comes at time when the
Supreme Court of Missouri has before
it the report of its special commits
sloner, which finds that the same Wa
ters-Pierce. Oil Company has been vio-
lating the antitrust law of that state,
and recommends that its permit be
cancelled.
Although there has been very little
doubt as to the action the Missouri SUI
preme Court will take. it is believed
the Texas decision will prompt quicker
action.
The oil trust is tread;ng a perfect
labyrinth of legal prosecutions. Ohio,
Texas and Missouri have attacked 1T
under state antitrust laws. The fed
eral government is prosecuting 1T un-
der the Elltins rebate law of Illinois,
Tennessee, Missouri and New York.
1t has been found guilty in Chicago
and is now awaiting the iniliction of
sentence by Judge Landis. Under the
law the minimum fines must reach
S1,5O0,000. If the limit is imposed the
Standard will have to pay s29,OOO,OOO.
The circuit judges of the Eighth cir
cult have just heard arguments on the
demurrer of the Standard Oil to the
governments bill, asking for dissolu-
ton. An early decision is expected.
The court will then appoint a commits
sloner to take testimony. The depart
ment of justice will use its best en-
deavor to bring the case to speedy
conclusion.
In Ohio the state authorities are
pushing the oil trust in civil and crimi-
nal proceedings. The Circuit Court
has just given black eye to the trust
by ruling that the Circuit Court of
Hancock county, which fined the Stan
dard $1,000, had jurisdiction. The
question will be fought out in the Su-
preme Court.
