WOULD GUST STANDARD OIL
Atty. Gen. of State Asked to Bring
Action Against Great Corporation

Action Against Great Corporation
A request upon the attorney general
that he bring an action to prevent the
Standard Oil Company from doing
business longer in Wisconsin because
of its violation of the antitrust laws
Of the state, may be made in the near
future.
Complaints to State Oil Inspector
Tracy that the Standard Oil Company
Disseminated in the prices at which it
sold oil between points in the state
where it had competition in the oil
trade and points where it had not such
competition have led to an investiga-
tion of the subject. Deputy Oil In
spector johnson, under the direction of
Mr.. Tracey, has been going over the
state carefully and it is claimed has
some figures which seem to substanti-
ate the complaints.
These figures Mr.. Tracey said would
probably be presented to the attorney
general with a request that he proceed
against the Standard Oil Company for
violation of the anti trust laws.
1t is said that in very large part
of Wisconsin the Standard Oil Com
pany is without competition.

MUST PAY INCOME TAX
Must be Paid by June so or a Penalty
Of 5 Per Cent Will be Imposed

The feet that the United States
Supreme Court has failed to render
decision as to the legality of the act
creating corporation income tax has led
many corporations to believe that the
tax is not payable until such time as
decision by the court is rendered.
This is a mistaken idea The corpora
ton tax assessed must be paid to Col
lector Henry Fink at Milwaukee, Wis
consin, on or before June 80 next, in
order to avoid five per cent Is per
cent? penalty, notice of which has
been mailed by Collector Fink to all
Of the corporations interested.
Saloonkeepers must pay their license
of $25 before O'Clock of June 80 or
they will be fined $3.50. This law
will be strictly enforced.

OLD GAME UNDER NEW GUISE
Kenosha Man is Asked to Aid in Secur-
ing Fortune Of Russian Banker With
Mere Pittance of S16o,oo0 as
Reward.

The old band of swindlers working
the game of the "Spanish" prisoner
are sending out their "dope" in new
form and John Wallig, the well known
market street hardware man, has been
selected as the latest victim in Keno
sha.
Mr. Wallig received letter from the
mysterious Russian who is pining away
in t. Spanish prisons, on Friday and
it can be said that the old stereotyped
form of the letter has been changed
and the swindle is under a sufficiently
new cover to have Postmaster Maloney
refer the matter to the postoffice Of
fcials at Washington. The letter to
Mr.. Wallig bears the date of May 27
and it was sent out from Madrid. 1t
reads as follows:
"Dear Sir. +"
although I know you only from
good references of your honesty my
sad situation compels me to reveal to
you an important affair in which you
can procure a modest fortune saving
at the same time that of my darling
daughter.
Before being imprisoned here [ was
established as a banker in Russia, as
you will see by the enclosed article
about me. Many English newspapers
have published an account of my arrest
i'll London.
| besecch you to help me to obtain
sum of $3.50 | have in America, and
to come here to raise the seizure of
my baggage by paying to the registrar
of the court the expenses of my trial
and recover my portmanteau, contain
ing secret pocket where have hid
den the document indispensable to re-
covering the said sum.
AS a reward / will give up to you
third part viz 100000.
can not receive your answer in
person, nut you must SEND q cable
gram to a person in my confidence who
will deliver it to me.
Awaiting your cable to instruct you
in my behalf 1 am sir,
Your truly
Demidofft.
First Of all answer by cable, not by
letter as follows:
M Ramos, Silva 33 Cuarto, Madrid.
Awaiting Wallig''
In connection with the letter y a
portion of newspaper which appears
to have been clipped from some Eng
lish paper This gives the full story
of the arrest of Alexander Demidofft
at London some time ago and also the
story Of the missing fortune.
The letter is the most carefully pre-
pared ever sent out by the band OF
Spanish swindlers. AS it is probable
that several other letters were sent to
Kenosha at the same time it is well
for the people Of the city to know that
all of these letters are fakes and that
the governments of several countries
have been for years hunting down these
swindlers

 Prosecution rests.
 Defence rests.
 A couple of hours were given to preparation of instructions, and argument began at 3 o'clock p. m.
 The opening argument by MT. Sawtelle, for the Territory, occu- pied an hour and quarter. It was clear cut, analytical dis qnisition on the law governing the case and close analysis of the testimony. MT. Sawtelle was fol- lowed by Mir. George Neale, for the defence, who presented a very able argument that was forcib!e and i'm pressive, and terminated the pro- ceedings for the day.
 Friday morning MT. Ives, lead ing counsel for the defendant made the closing argument for that side of the case, and the gentleman made very powerful presentation his address to the jury filling two hours time and receiving the close attention of the jury and the large audience.
 The closing argument for the prosecution was by MT. J. s. Will liams, district attorney of Cochise county, who spoke an hour and a quarter in the forenoon and two hours in the afternoon. It was pronounced by many one of the most powerful arraignnents ever made before an Arizona jury.
 The charge to the jury was short and impressive, and took about a quarter of an hour in delivery. At $40 o'clock of Friday the bailiffs were sworn and the jury retired in their charge to consider the evid- ence in the case and pass upon the guilt or innocence of the accused Until the jury had been out to sup. per and returned to it's delibera- tions afterward there was nc inkling of the possible result; but after a couple of hours it became apparent that no verdict would be reached readily. Various and con- flicting reports hoated about as tC the attitude of the jury, one report being that it stood eleven for con. viction to one for acquittal. Al midnight a statement gained cir. culation that the vote was eight to , four for acquittal. At that hour the jury was locked up for the night and suspended deliberations until Saturday morning. All ot Saturday the deadlock continued and the jury passed the second night in custody. Sunday morn ing found the jurors still widely variant; and the stubborn differ ence was maintained all of Sunday and Sunday night.
