Lad Alone When Tragedy Occurs and
What Caused the Discharge Will
Never be known-Believed an Acct

Selwyn Topping, thirteen years old,
son of Mr.. Benjamin Topping. a
prominent farmer of York county.
shot and killed himself in the yard OF
his home yesterday morning.
According to the report when
reached Hampton of the shooting, II
cannot be definitely said whether the
shot was fired with suicidal intent or
whether the youth came TO his death
through an accident.
The boy was in the front yard
alone, while several of his younger
brothers were in the large yard and
the father was in the barn when the
shooting occurred. The family and
friends of the dead boy hold to the
accident theory and there is no
known reason for seif-destruction.
Father Hears Report.
Hearing the sharp report or the
gun, which was a double barrelled
shot gun. Mr.. Topping ran from the
barn to the yard. where he found his
son dying. The contents of the gun
had passed through the lower left
lung. Just at the upper part of the
heart. and out through the shoulder

in the youths breast. The gun was
about ten feet from the boy and it
is supposed that the youth staggered
and fell backward from the effects OF
the discharge.
AS there was nothing to indicate
that Selwyn had fallen down and caus-
ed the gun to go off some of the
people in the section thought it might
have been a case of suicide. Mr..
Topping thinks that the boy started
to leave the yard and that the gun
fell from his hand.
Death Had Claimed Hum.
As soon as Mr. Topping recovered
himself from excitement after run
ring from the barn to the yard. he
called DR.. Fay Sinclair, whose Office
is near the Topping residence DIR.
Sinclair responded quickly, but when
he reached the Topping home, death

SUIT LIKELY TO
END IN NAUGH1
Government Case May Die
1 an Unnatural Death.
COURT ASKED TO DISMISS

Governments Prosecution Of the Ter
ninaI Association Of st. Louis, III
Which Much Testimony Was Taken,
Has No Standing in the Highest
Tribunal Because Of the Action Of
the Circuit Court of Appeals.
Washington, Jan. 25.-Unable to
get decision from the courts as to
whether it is right or wrong the gov
eminent now stands good chance Of
witnessing one of it's trust prosecu.
lions die an unnatural death.
This unique case is the suit of the
government against the Terminal
Railroad association of st. Louis and
fourteen railroads, brought in the cir
cult court of St. Louis in 1905. The
defendants were charged with com.
bining for the purpose of controlling
and restraining Interstate commerce
between the states of Missouri and
Illinois and other states and foreign
countries. A special examiner was
appointed. Much testimony was taken
by him. .-.- .-.-.... *
Then, in an endeavor to expedite
the suit, it is feared an anesthetic was
administered, from which the case
may never recover entirely. -
Under the act of congress of Feb.
II, 1908. entitled IAN act to expedite
the hearing and determination" Of
suits under the Sherman antitrust
act, the attorney general certified that
the case was important. But that
move failed in it's purpose. ~.
AS required by that act the suit was
advanced and the four judges of the
circuit presided over the final hear
ing. There were so many judges they
could not agree. Two were in favor
of granting some relief to the gov
eminent and two in favor of dismiss
ing the bill. Consequently on May
Fl, 1909, they handed down an order
certifying the case to the supreme
court of the United States for review,
in accordance with the so called "ex-
pediting act"
Now Solicitor General Bowers has
suggested to the court that it dismiss
the certificate. He pointed out that
In recent opinion the court had held
that any certification of an entire
case without final judgment or decree
or order determinative of the merits
was an attempt to confer upon the
court original jurisdiction. What fur.
ther action will be taken in the cir
cult court remains to be seen.

SAYS BANKS ARE IN COMBINE
Holding Company Controls Many North

Holding Company Controls Many North
western institutions. ~-"
Madison, Wis, Jan. 25.-The state
commissioner of banking has discov.
cred a new kind of trust-a combina-
ton of banks in the small towns of
the Northwest. His annual report just
given out asks for legislation to pre-
vent such a combination. The report
shows that there is Minneapolis hold.
ing company which holds the majority
of the stock of forty banks in the
small cities of Wisconsin, Iowa, Min
nesota and the Dakotas and that other
similar holding companies are being
formed. 8
The commissioner believes that there
is a serious danger for the general
public in these banking trusts. Hold
ing companies, he says. cannot pay
close attention to the individual banks
and the risk through ,defalcation of
subordinate officials, not directly inter
ested in the concerns, he thinks, is
greater than heretofore. -,
