State and Federal
Decisions Antagonize Trusts

Missouri whose attorney general
was pressing certain telling questions
upon officials of the Standard Oil COM
pany at New York in the first week
of the year, was the state and St Louis

general began formal proceedings,

corporation with thinly yelled threats
Of criminal action against its creator,
Rockefeller, and his official associates.
This suit was the elimination of the
investigations authorized by congress
and conducted by Garfield and the com
merce commission. The Garfield re-
port had brought with it the pres-
dents official denunciation of the Stand
ards illegal practices, MAY 4, and the
challenge from the nations chief was
boldly accepted by the Standard Off
Gals in a statement denying the
charges and rebuking the president
But it remained for Ohio to take the
brunt of the years legal battle against

suit was started under the state anti
trust law, and John D. Rockefeller was
summoned Through counsel he plead
ed not guilty, and on OCT. 8 the state
began broadside case against the
Standard Oil Company of Ohio on the
charge of conspiracy to restrain trade,
all the officials being summoned. On
OCT. 10 the jury adjudged the com
pany guilty, and the sentence of $4,000
q day. retroactive, was imposed by
judge Banker. The case was appealed.
The New York Central railroad was
prosecuted for rebating to the sugar
trust and fined $10S,000, while the
sugar trust was fined $16S,000 for re-
ceivng the rebates.
Prior to the OIL prosecutions the big
beef packers brought to trial at Chica-
go on criminal charges had gone scot
free on the decision of Judge Hum
phrey, holding that they were immune
because their testimony had been given
confidentially to Garfield. At Kansas

Judge Wheeler's Will.
! The will of the late Judge Hoyt H.
Wheeler, of Brattleboro, has been pro-
bated and allowed, and John L. Knowl-
ton of Lowell, Mass, is appointed exc
cutor without bonds. The document is
characteristic of Judge Wheeler. The
usual Introductory sentence is omitted,
as are also the seal and the usual attesta-
ton clause. 1t is brief and there are no
useless words. Mr.. Knowlton receives
the residence and contents on Western
avenue. Judge Wheeler's law library
goes to the Windham county bar, to be
kept in the court house, and, with the
exception of a few individual requests
the remainder of the estate goes to
nephews and nieces. The value OF the
estate is estimated to be in the excess OF
$125.000.

IRISH LEADER CHARGED
WITH INCIT|NG
A RIOT
With Forty Others He Was
Arrested and Tried
Today.
EXCITING SCENES AT
HIS PUBLIC MEETINGS

Longford, Ireland, August az
James p. Farrell, an Irish nationalist
member of parliament for North
Langford, and forty others were ar
rested early this morning and are
now being tried by a special court
convened for the purpose on a charge
of taking part IN an unlawful as
sembly likely to cause riot"
Farrell has been holding meetings
throughout his constituency at which
exciting scenes occurred between the
nationalists and members of the Sim
Fein society. In addition many cat
tie have been driven from the graz
ing lands of the district, which the
prosecution alleges was encouraged
by Farrell and other speakers.
Large forces of police are being
dispatched here, trouble being antici-
pated.
Trouble Probable.
Excitement over the arrest of Far
rell and his companions is likely TO
cause a riot at any moment, since
Farrell and his policies were largely
in favor with the people OF this sec
ton, and indignation at the arrest is
unbounded 1t is likely, however,
that the public Indignation will not
reach the trouble point until the
trial is concluded.

BODY R|DDlED WITH
SHOT AFTER DEATH
Was Charged With Killing Man
and Wife at Bancroft and After
ward Mutilating and Beat
ing Their Bodies
With Club.

Bancroft, Neb., August 27.--Mad-
dened by the delay in the course of
the written law in the revolving muir
der case of Louis Ray Higgins, the
29-year-old Denver man who, on
May 10, shot, beat with a club and
mutilated the bodies of Walter f.
Copple and his wife and left seven
children orphans, on a farm near
Rosalie, a mob this morning over
powered the three officers who had
the prisoner in charge and hanged
him to a bridge near the town and
riddled his body with bullets.
Mrs. Cora A. Higgins, the mother
of the victim of the mob, who re-
sides in Denver, has been notified.
AS precautionary measures, Hig-
gins was given his preliminary hear
ing on an Overland Limited United
Pacific train and has since ben held
In the Jail at Omaha, Neb. Sheriff
Young of Thurston county went to
Omaha last night, secured the pris-
oner, obtained two other guards to
help him offset any attempt at lynch
ing, and started for Bancroft, the
county seat of Thurston county,
where Higgins was to have been
placed on trial.
When Sheriff Young left this place
Sunday night he was accosted by
citizens who asked him what he
would do If an attempt was made to
"Shoot the first man who tries it.
was the response.
'Well, we just thought we would
ask" said the committee of citizens,
because the chances are that you
will have some shooting to do
Thus forewarned, Young took ev-
cry precaution to guard his prisoner.
On the train Higgins, noticing the ex-
ira guard, smiled and said: There is
no need of this; l won't try to get
away" He did not seem to realize
his danger and was cheerful on his
trip to Bancroft.
The train bearing Higgins and his
guard arrived in Bancroft at eight
O'Clock this morning. A mob of
more than a hundred men awaited
it, All the men We're armed and
they scrambled on the coaches be-
fore the train had stopped. Locating
Young, his deputies and his prisoner,
a demand was made for the murder
er Young and his men resisted, but
We're soon overpowered and the
prisoner, a trembling, miserable hu-
man being, taken from them.
Riddled With Shot
Higgins was made to stand in the
bed of a dray, being held up by mem
bers of the mob. The remainder of
the moddened crowd ran shouting af-
ter the vehicle. The dray was driven
at a rapid pace under the bridge,
Wher a moose was already hanging.
AS the wagon passed under the
bridge the moose was dropped over
Higgins neck and the speed of the
wagon jerked it taut and sent the
victim to eternity. AS the body
swung in mid-air the mob ran YELL
ing around ii and shot hundreds of
bullets into the swaylng corpse.
The body was later cut down and
delivered to the coroner, who will
hold an inquest.
sympathy was expressed on all
sides for the aged mother of the
murderer i'm Denver, but as Higgins
crime was one of the most revolving
ever committed in this section and as
justice had long been delayed, no re-
gret for the action of the mob is felt
even among the most conservative
citizens here.

MINER IS ACCUSED
OF DOUBLE CRIME
Arrested For Insulting Women. He
Killed His Cdptor. and Was
Later Saved From Lynch

Margin.

Easton, Pa, August 27.--For nine
hours a squad of policemen and dep
uty sheriffs surrounded tn ecounty
jail here, while TRUSTEES on the inside
under the direction OF Sheriff Mason
worked to double bar and secure
every possible means of ingress, in
order to thwart a mob of iron work.
ers, whom, rumon stated, were en-
route to this city to lynch william
Handy. a South Carolina miner, who
was arrested last night and brought
to the county Jail on a charge of kill
ing Policeman Shumaker.
Until dawn the guard closely
watched every move outside and in
side the jail but when the mob fall
ed to materialize at that time, and
phone messages from South Bethle-
hem made it certain that there was
no mob coming, the sheriff permitted
the watchers to go home.
The Killing.
Complaint was made to the police
at South Bethlehem, the iron works
town. yesterday that a negro miner.
partly intoxicated had insulted a

secure the man. He was discovered
near a saloon by Policeman Shumak-
er, who Immediately arrested him.
AT first the negro showed no fight,
but as they walked toward the city

arm. had fired a shot In TO Shumak-
er's body, causing instant death. With
a bound, Handy was lost in the dark
ness and the small crowd which coll
lected at sight of the arrest was un-
able to catch the slayer.
Taken to Easton.
For several hours a search was
kept up, the killing having taken
place shortly after dark. Patrolman
McCue, a close friend of Shumaker
was a leader inS the search and his
knowledge of negroes enabled him to
successfully capture the man who
killed his brother officer. He found
Handy hiding in a low groggery and
dragged him out. Unfortunately for
Handy quite a crowd of iron work.

save his prisoner from a lynching.
As it was Handy was badly damaged
by blows from the furious men.
In order to safeguard the prisoner.
he was brought to Easton and con-
fined In the county Jail.
Mob Forms.

maker was popular officer, a mob
of iron workers and many other citi-
zens, formed within a few minutes
after the arrest and visited the city

the police having feared Just that
move. Handy had been taken in at
the front door and a moment later
spirited out and away 10 this city,
leaving the Bethlehem jail by a rear
door.
Word that the prisoner had been
brought here was promptly forthcom-
ing and the mob prepared to come
to Easton, but prominent citizens per-
suaded the men to permit the law to
take its course.
Handy today pretends that he has
no knowledge of the events of last
night but officers here are persuaded
that he is merely a desperate man
attempting to elude justice by means
Of that dodge.
