OIL COMBINE is
FOUND NOT GUILTY
Continued from First Page.)

Anderson presided was that against John
r. Walsh, former president of the Chi
cago National bank, who was found guilty
Of misapplying the funds of the bank and
who was sentenced to serve a five years
term in prison at Leavenworth, Kan.
Walsh's case is now pending in the court
Of appeals.
History of the Case.
The prosecution, which today ended in
failure, after having once been tried by
Judge X. NJ. Lands, whose decision was
reversed by the court Of appeals and the
case remanded to the district court for a
second trial, had its beginning August q,
1906. on that date ten indictments were
returned by n federal grand jury, charging
the Standard Oil company of Indiana with
accepting concessions from railways in
shipments of oil from Whiting, Ind.
Demurrers to two of these, involving ship
ments over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
railroad and connecting roads to Grand
Junction, Tenn. were sustained and the
indictments were quashed shortly after they
had been returned. The eight remaining
bills were demurred to, but the demurrers
were overruled.
Two of the eight indictments involved
shipments over the Chicago & Alton rail-
road from Whiting, Ind, TO East st. Louis,
one containing 1893 counts and the other
1874 counts. 1t was the 1903 count indict-
ment on which the oil company prosecu-
ton was based. with 146 counts allowed Ia
stand, the case went to trial first before
Judge Lands. March 4. 1907. The trial con-
suned six weeks. and resulted in a verdict
OF guilty April 10, 1907.
Arguments for a new trial were heard in
May and a motion for new trial was denied
On August 3, 1907. Judge Lands imposed
his famous $2s. 24O.o 900 fine.
on appeal the case went to the United
States circuit court of appeals and was
argued a year ago. The decision OF the
court of appeals reversing Judge Lands
and remanding the case for a new trial was
given July %, 1905. Attempts of the gov.
eminent TO obtain a rehearing of the case
before the appellate court. as wen as their
endeavors to secure a review OF 1t before
the United States supreme court, failed
The second trial was begun before Judge
Anderson February %.

Case May He Appealed.

WASHINGTON, March M.-The under
standing here Is that an appeal will lie
from Judge Anderson's court to the circuit
court OF appeals. Also an appeal would
lie from the circuit court of appeals to the
supreme court OF the United States in the
event that the decision In the former trib-
unal should be against the company.
In fact that is a best reason for stating
that the whole issue will come before the
supreme court Of the United States very
soon through an unexpected and novel move
by the Department of Justice.
President Taft declined to make any COM
ment.

him on the promise to marry
her.
The couple lived in a hotel in
Providence until three weeks
ago, when Threlkeld brought heI

cured rooms and lived with the
girl, representing her to be his
wife.
The girl says that a little more
that q week ago he told her that
he was married and had family.
When the girl would not believe
him he showed her a pass he had
secured for his wife and child,
SO that they could visit him at

She ran away from the house,
and appealed to the police. The

FOREST FIRE STARTED
BY Burning of Big Tobacco and SOCE
Barn in MetcaIf County.

G.! asgow, KY, Nov. Cup to
this time there has been no new
developments in the big fire
near Good Luck, in Metcali
county. The fire was first start
ed by the burning of a large to-
bacco and stock barn belonging
to James A. Edwards, of that
section. The fences and woods
caught FIRE from the barn, and
had it not been for the large
force of men who fought the fire,
all night, untold damage would
have been done.
The fire was first discovered
about . O'Clock and the building
was falling in by the time the
nearby Deighbors could reach
the scene. All the stock be-
longing to Mr.. Edwards was
burned, and was as follows
One fine mare, two mules, a COW
aud valuable hog. The barn
also contained the years crop of
corn, tobacco and feed of all
kinds, together with vehicles and
farming implements. There
was no insurance and the loss is
total. The origin o. the fire is a
complete mystery.

ESCAPES FROM
INSTANT DEATH
Eighteen Months Old Child Has
Miraculous Escape on Rail-
road Track.
MASSIVE MoGUI PASSES OVER
TOT VINO IS UNiNluRED

Adams, Tenn, Nov. THE
little eighteen-month. old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will WO-
mack, of this city, had a most
miraculous escape from instant
death today when the big mogul
engine No. 95, pulling the first
southbound from Chicago,
passed almost ever her tiny
body.
The child was sitting in the
middle Of the track playing in
the dirt and Engineer s. -
Branch of 1904 DIVISION street,
Nashville, did not see her in
time to reverse his engine. He
did so as soon as possible, but
not until the COW catcher had
knocked the little girl down and
he supposed she had been ground
to pieces under the big engine.
Fireman II. +. Giles, of 300
Sylvan street, Nashville, was
first on the ground and he went
under the steam mogul and
pulled the little girl out FROM
under it. Passengers and others
who had flocked to the scene
were breathless, expecting to
see the. little one mangled ana
bleeding. Bat to their surprise
and delight she sat straight mp
in the big tireman's arms and
looked around at the crowd as
much as to say, "What are yop
looking at anyway
just how the child escaped in
jury is merely a matter Of coR
lection. Her home was about
two hundred yards away anH
che was all alone at the time
the train pulled through the
town of Adams. This is ttgs
fast train and does not stop ~
Adams, but slows up Whale
passing through the town. The
little girl WAS sitting about IA
the middle of the track With
her back to the approaching
train. The train was moving
slowly and when the COW catch
er hit her she was probably
knocked off between the cross
ties, and being very small il 10
supposed that the train did not
touch her, 40, aside from .
loosened tooth or two aud sonns
slight scratches on the chin, sne
was injured. /r'
The crew in charge of the
train say that they have never
known of a more remarkable es-
cape from injury, and many are
still guessing just how the little
girl did escape instant death.
When Fireman Giles came ont
from under the smoking, steam
ing, restless mogul with the tiny
little form in his arms those who
waited and watched scarcely ex-
pected to find the child breath
ing, far less smiling and unharm-
ed. But she did not even APP
pear frightened nor exercised a
chlld's privilege of crying.
