Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 13.-W. Il. H. Miller, who was attorney general of the United States under President Harrison, now attorney for the Stand ard Oil Company, filed in the criminal court an appeal from the decision in the police court, wherein the Stand ard Company was fined $5 and costs for selling short measure.
