Six directors of the American Sugar
Refining company, commonly known
as the sugar trust, have been indicted
by federal grand jury upon charge
of conspiracy in restraint of trade.

100000 to Mr.. Segal by the sugar
trust is as follows: Mr. Segal, who
was building a sugar refinery in 1906,
to compete with the American, was

the loan was that the man who advanc-

for the government and bring severe
punishment for criminal methods of
choking off competition.

Jack Hinton Wants Protection.

Jack Hinton, one of Mission creeks
pioneers, says that hereafter he wants
game warden for protection, says
the Cashmere Record. While on the
hill few rods from his house he en-
countered two beautiful deer brows-
ing bunch grass They were neither
disturbed or alarmed by Jacks ap-
pearance, and when he went to drive
them off they turned on him, chas-
ing him around the hills for several
hours until Jack, exhausted, sought
refuge in an inviting tree. Under
cover of night Jack made his escape
arriving home in a very excited state.
The store farther goes to say the deer
are still there and that Jack goes out
every day with his grandfather's muz-
zle loading gun, only to be tantalized
b ythe deer rolling down huge bould-
ers toward him and making climbing
for him dangerous and impossible.
