view Of the case nave cOntrdVeneQ the antitrust laws. On the facts of and fair differences, we conclude that the government has failed to substan- tiate the averments of its bill.'
 Washington, June 24.-The govern ment will appeal the Hartman Merg- CT case to the Supreme Court of the United States, according to officials of the Department of Justice. In the aD- sence of Attorney-General Wickersham no official statement could be obtain ed but there appeared to be no doubt that the case would be carried to the highest court.
 Willis H. Vandevanter, Cheyenne: William c. Cook, Leavenworth, and Elmer B. Adams, St. Louis, assembled in St. Paul as the United States Cir cult Court of Appeals and opened the case Oct ?, 1910 The issue was the purchase by the Union Pacific of the Southern and Central Pacific roads, and the alleged violation thereby of the antitrust law.
 Upon this issue hangs the fate of many railroad combinations of which those put together by the late E. H. Hartman were the greatest and the decision is regarded by the lawyers as the most since that or lH0 famous Northern Securities case.
 Frank B. Kellogg and c. A. Sever ance argued the case for the govern ment. Judge Robert Lovett, trustee of the estate of Edward H. Hartman and president of the Union Pacific road, came to St. Paul and brought with him John c. Spooner, former Sen, ator from Wisconsin; David K Wat son, of Pittsburg; Judge P. F. Dunne, of San Francisco; general counsel for the Union Pacific and Southern Paci fife lines and IN. H. Loomis, Union Pa cific counsel at Omaha. The court hearing lasted nearly a week.
 The Hartman merger was perhaps the most gigantic attempt to corner railroad traffic in the history of the country. It comprised the merger of the Union and Southern Pacific and five other railroads operating between the East and the Pacific coast. As a result of the combine competition was

Gus Injuries Reported.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-One hundred and
twenty-five passengers on the Pennsylvania
eighteen-hour train which left here at 2:45
O'Clock for New York were frightened, but
uninjured, when the engine, tender and
baggage car jumped the track while going
at full speed between Indiana Harbor and
Burlington Ind, today.
The engine and tender broke from the
train when the engineer applied the emer-
gency brakes, and leaving the rails plunged
down an embankment. The train stopped
with Jerk that threw the passengers from
their seats, but remained upright on the
tracks. The baggage car, Immediately be-
ilond the tender, left the tracks, but did
not overturn.

emergency brakes and the strain broke the
coupling between the tender and baggage

WALTERS is STILL IN JJAIL
Sioux Falls Man Charged with
Attempted Murder Unable TO
Give Bonds.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D.. Aug. 6-(special.)
Unable to furnish bond in the sum OF
5000. J. G. walters. a former prominent
garin commission and elevator man Of
Minneapolis and Sioux Falls, has been
lodged in the county jail to await trial
on the charge Of assault with dangerous
weapon with intent to kill This charge
grew out OF a recent attempt to shoot and
kill Mrs Sarah Blelfus. who formerly had
been engaged as a stenographer for
Walters. The cause of the shooting yet
remains considerable Of a mystery, but
the most plausible theory is that 1t was
the outgrowth of Mrs. Blelfus resisting un-
welcome attentions. Walters some months
ago was charged with embezzlement and
fled to British northwest territory, where
he was arrested and brought back to South
Dakota. He effected a settlement in con-
nection with this and the charge was
withdrawn. The trial OF the present case
against him promises to be sensational
