argument for it's being granted. in accord

Shortly after midday, however, the ever

that stock Union Pacific, in common with
the remainder of the market. opened be-
low its closing figures Of yesterday, but
during the morning session that stock

very sharp break soon afr midday fol-
lowed upon the publication. apparently pre-
maturely, of the alleged report Of the In
terstate commerce commission of its find
ings in its investigation Of the Hartman
railroad system and combinations.
The report.,in question was drastic and
condemnatory, although 1t could not be
said with truth that any new or very
surprising facts or circumstances were
included therein. 1t was known earlier
In the day that the special counsel for
the interstate commerce commission had
signified their Intention shortly to in
itiate proceedings before the United

sion of the commission in this city. but

a negro named James FOgg. The
trouble arose on a street in the east
ern part of town, and the negro
knocked Abbott down and ran, pur-
sued by Chief of Police High and
others, catching up with him a mile
out of town. The negro turned and
shot at the officers and ran. They
then fired at him, one shot taking
effect in the back and one in the
neck. The negro fell down and was
cadtured and is now in Jail.
Fogg, the prisoner, is the same
negro who some time since was tried
for the murder of a disreputable
woman, the jury discharging him
for want of evidence.
