1t may become necessary to call out

Of violence and lawlessness produced
by the strike of street car men on the
Waterloo and Cedar Falls system.
Wild fighting in the dark with revolv-

stop, out of the darkness there came
a volley OF. shots. Car men replied
and there was pitched battle. AS
yet it has not been discovered that
any of the strikers in the ambush
were injured. Mayor Rector Of Water

and testify in the trial of the gov
ernment's case.
They were:
/. That the court was without jul
risdiction to make the order bringing
them here.
2. That the order was premature
and irregularly made
8. That the ends of justice did not
require that the nonresident defend
ants should be brought into this suit.
The decision overrules these mo-
tons.
There are several defendants in all,
including Rockefeller, Rogers, Flag
Ter and six other trust magnates and
81 companies or corporations, which
are the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey and it's subsidiary companies.
OF all these defendants, but one,
the Waters-Pierce Oil company, has
legal residence within the federal jul
dicial district of eastern Missouri.
When the suit was filed District Judge
Finkelnburg issued an order directing
that the subpoenas upon the defend
ants had been served by the United
States marshal of the district in which
they could be found.
To this the defendants objected,
contending that the court at st. Louis
could not go outside its district to
brind in defendants. A motion setting
aside the order of service was filed.
This was heard before the four circuit
Judges January 30.

and when called into the house, COM

most Immediately, she was seized with
commissions and died before medical
assistance could be called.
Physicians say that the symptoms
exhibited by the child were those of
poisoning by strychnine. None of this
drug was kept in the house, and the
parents are at loss to know where
the child obtained the poison. There
in some opinion that the little one may
have eaten a sample of patent medi-
cine which had been thrown into the
yard
The other death was that of Mrs.
l.. Woodwork of Coin, widow. Dur
ing the absence of her daughter she
had prepared glass of lemonade,
which she drank When the daughter
returned, she found her mother in con-
WILSON'S, and she died with every
symptom of strychnine poisoning.
AS in the first case there was no
strychnine in the house, and no one
is able to account for the woman's
death.
