follows:

Base on balls-By Meany, S; by
Schuetz, 0.
The Sunday game at Postville was
genuine slugging match from start to
finish and would have been Cresco's
game but for some questionable de-
disions of the umpire during the last
few innings. However the boys came
home happy and will try to send the
Postville boys home with hard luck
story to tell on Thursday Following
is summary of the game:

city water, on Sunday evening the wa
ter in the standpipe was lowered so
feet, which means that about 1000 bar
rels Of water was used Where it went
to no one can say, and it is certain that
there is no leak, for when the pumps
were started a gain of 80 feet was
made in the forenoon and this would be
impossible were there leak anywhere
in the mains. 1t very much looks as

were allowing the water to run all the

so that the town will not be caught

Chicago Packers Confronted by Des
perate Situation.

Chicago, Aug. 5.--The stock yard
employees face a new industrial crisis
i'm the breaking off of all negotiations
between the teamsters' organization
and the packing firms. Arbitration
without an umpire has failed and 1T
remains with the teamsters TO decide
whether they will carry ont their
threat to strike IL they are srefused
the increased wages they demand, to-
gether with better working conditions.
For several weeks four arE.raters
two selected by the workers and
two by the packing interests-have
been endeavoring to work out some
compromise. They had been unable
to agree upon the fifth arbiter and this
new experiment In arbitration was
tried. All arguments, however, failed
TO move the arbiters from either side
from their original positions.

NO SIGN OF ABATlNG.
Attacks on Women and Children Con-
ti1ue In New York.

New York, Aug. 5.-The remark
able series of crimes in this city. In
which women and children ere the OBJ
jects of attack, shows no sign OF abat-
ing. During the day three such at
tacks were reported TO the police.
Scarcely an arrest of Importance has
been made and the police confess
themselves as completely baf1ed. De-
tectiyes who have studied the differ
ent cases differ as to the probable per-
petrators of the crimes. Some in
cline to the belief that the assaults
are the work of one nan, one who has
the mad animal instinct of the Lon
don and Berlin ripper" Others COM
bat this theory and point to the wide
ly separated points in which the
crimes occurred and the different
methods with which final murder was
accomplished No one can explain,
however, why there should be such an
epidemic of fiendish crime in this city
at this time-a crime the city Is gen
orally free from.
The alarm. especially among moth
ers, is widespread and there has been
a marked decrease OF the number OF
women and children on the streets at
night Every little street incident is
magnified and mob quickly assem-
bles In several instances men have
been attacked by the crowds and,
whether rightly or wrongly, have been
severely beaten by the people. The
temper of the feeling Is shown by let
tiers which have been received by the
newspapers suggesting vigilance COM
mittees and protective associations,
but thus far nothing has come of this
agitation.
The list of victims who have met
death In this wave of crime has
reached five, three young girls and
two women. A score or more have
been attacked.

Telephone Company Files Suit Against
Labor Organizations.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 5.-The Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company
has filed suit in the federal court
against the Montana Federation Of
Labor, the Livingston trades and labor
council ct al to secure an Injunction
restraining the respondents from in
terfering or molesting in any way the
business of the company and to shut
off the boycott which the complainant
alleges has been I'm force since March
Ia last, which has damaged the COM
pany to the extent Of $4,000. No tenn
porary injunction was issued. An or
der to show cause why the application
for the injunction should not be
granted was made by Judge Hunt, re-
turnable Sept. 16.
The trouble is the outgrowth OF the
strike of the linemen In Utah, Idaho,
Wyoming and Montana, the Montana
federation having ordered the Rocky
Mountain company declared unfair in
all Montana cities and ordering out all
switchboard operators.

APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN.
Standard Oil Company to Carry Case
to Highest Court.

New York, Aug. 5.--News OF the
unprecedented fine imposed upon the
Standard Oil company by Judge Lam
dis In the United States court at Chi
cago was received in New York with
excited interest. The general expec-
tation for some days has been that
the decision would be unfayorable to
the Standard Oil company, but ap-
parently no one looked for the impo-
sition Of the maximum penalty on the
1.4G2 counts in the indictment. reach
ing the enormous total Of $29,240.0OO.
An official OF the Standard Oil COM
pany said the amount of the fines
evidenced the injustice against the
company.
"The amount OF Judge Lands
fines" said the official authoritatively
for the company, 'is fifty times the
value of the oil carried under the In
dictment. The total value Of oil was
$650,000
"For each car OF oil valued at about
$3.50 we have been fined $4,000 An
appeal will be taken to the United
States circuit court OF appeals, but
whether 1t will be entered at once or
whether the full time allowed by law
will be taken will be determined by
our counsel in Chicago"
The Standard Oil attorneys had
nothing to say further than that an
appeal will be entered and continued
to the last resort. Attorneys were
generally stunned by the fine imposed.
1t was pointed out that nothing ap-
preaching the sum which the Stand
ard Oil company of Indiana has been
sentenced to pay has never been ex-
acted before In proceeding for viola
|stion Of statute and the appeal OF the
company will be watched with the
closest interest not only by the attor-
neys directly concerned but by all
lawyers.

the stock Of the defendant Standard
Oil company of Indiana. This demon
strated that very large proportion Of
the stock was held by individuals for
the stockholders OF the Standard Oil
company OF New Jersey, which has
outstanding stock of approximately
100000. 900.
The court discusses at length the
various defenses offered by counsel
and says the nominal defendant is the
Standard Oil company of Indiana. a
81, 10000 corporation. The Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, whose
capital is $1OO.00o,oo0. is the real de-
fendant. This Is SO for the reason
that II q body OF men organize large
corporation under the laws OF one
state for the purpose of carrying on
business throughout the United States
and for the accomplishment OF that
purpose absorb the stock OF other cor
porations such corporations SO alb
sorbed have thenceforward but NOM
inal existence. They cannot initiate
or execute any independent business
policy. The court then passed the
Judgment as follows:
1T Is the judgment and sentence OF
the court that the defendant Standard
Oil company pay fine of $29,24O,OOO.
"One thing remains. 1t must not be
assumed that in this jurisdiction the
laws may be ignored. II they are not
obeyed they will be enforced. The
plain demands of justice require that
the facts disclosed In this proceeding
be submitted to grand jury with a
view to the consideration of the con-
duct OF the other party to these trans
actions. Let an order be entered for
a panel of sixty men retUrnable at 10
O'Clock on the morning of Aug. IA.

Chicago, Aug. 5.--Judge Lands, In
the United States district court, has
imposed fine upon the Standard Oil
company of Indiana of $29, ,240, 900, the
maximum amount upon each one OF
the ] ,462 counts of the indictment on
which the company was recently con-
victed of rebating. The judge also
recommended that call be issued
for special grand jury which Is to

Oil company was found guilty and it
is therefore probable that within a
short time proceedings will be COM
menced against the Chicago and Al
ton Railroad company for the alleged
commission Of similar offenses.
The reading of the opinion by Judge

Duluth, Aug. 5.-Eighty per cent OF
the steel corporations mines on the
ranges are working and operations
have been resumed at all points on
the range but Virginia. The ore is
being loaded just as rapidly as the
company can secure cars and the cas-
ual observer would not know that
there had been a strike. The strike
will be thing of history within a
few days IL conditions continue to i'm

last forty-eight hours.
Sheriff Bates has returned to Hib-
bing after making tour of the entire
Mesaba range and visiting every inn
portaIt mining location. He stated
that he had seen no signs of any vio-
lence and that everything was run
ming along smoothly. The Mountain
Iron mine started up during the morn
ing with small force of men. There
were fifty deputies on hand to pre-
vent any trouble, but none occurred.
There are now about 375 deputies
scattered over the range.

himself as pleased with the govern
or's proclamation allowing the men to

wired Governor Johnson and the gov
ernor telegraphed Sheriff Hoolihan

Court Reviews the Charges.
Judge Lands, in his decision, said
it was proven in the trial that the de-
fendant, corporation of Indiana, op-
crates an oil refinery at Whiting,
Ind; that the Chicago and Alton Rail-
way company, corporation of ILL
nois, operates line of railroad from
Chicago to East St. Louis, Ill. Prior
to the occurrences on which the prose-
cution was based the Chicago and Al
ton company had filed with the inter-
state commerce commission showing
the rates for the transportation Of oil
in car lots from Whiting to East st.
Louis to be Is cents per 100 pounds.
The court says 1t appears at the hear
ing that the defendant shipped Its
goods from Whiting to East st. Louis
for cents and 71a cents to st. Louis.
The defense argued that the Elkins
law authorized the prosecution for
but one offense and maintained that
there could be conviction on only
one couat The court held that the
law is violated every time any prop
erty is so transported, as the legal
rate was established by the railroad
company on a car lot basis. The un-
lawful Scent rate was granted and
accepted on that basis. AS to the de-
fendant's claim that the representa-
tions by the Alton road had misled It
into the sincere belief that the Alton
6-cent rate had been filed with the
Interstate commerce commission the
court held that as the law required the
carrier to keep the schedule at its
freight Office for public inspection 1T
was the defendants duty to ascertain
at the railroads Office whether the
rate was so fixed and it being for the
Jury to determine whether testimony
exhibited the truth OF the transaction.
The jury having found verdict OF
guilty 1t became the duty OF the court
to fix the punishment.
