Women in Jail for Murder.

Charlotte, N. c., March. 1.-As
the result of the coroner's investiga-
{ tion into the death of Al G. Winn, a
travelling salesman of New Orleans,
at the Leland hotel in this city yes
terday, Annie Louise Stevens, with
whom Winn had lived since Novem-
sber 20, and Dora Wilson, a COM
panion of the woman, are now in the
9Necklenburg county jail, charged
with murder and accessory before the
fact.
When confronted with the fact
that Winn had living wife in Ashe-
vile, N. c., the supposed wife broke
down and admitted that she had nev-
4er married him, but had married
Archie Dick, Texas ranchman, in
Eufaula, Ala, her home, six years
ago. A telegram from the chief of
police of Eufaula states that the wo-
man is from one of the best families
in that town. The two women were
found in a room adjoining the one
lin which Winn was found in a dying
condition with the door between the
rooms unlocked. They deny having
heard the pistol shot.

BANDITS CONVICTED.
Three White Sulphur Springs Rob-
bers Sentenced.

Gainesville, Ga, March 3.-George
Anderson, alias 'Old Bill Miner,
George Hanford and ]. E. Hunter,
accused of being members of the
gang which held up the United States
fast mail, a Southern railway train,
near White Sulphur Springs, Ca, on
the morning of February 1S, were
convicted at a special term of the
Hall county superior court held here
to-day and sentenced to prison, An
derson for 20 years and Hanford and
Hunter for Is years each.
Got Off Light.
After being sentenced the prisoners
arose and thanked the judge for not
imposing heavier sentences, Anderson
saying: Thank, you judge. Robbery
is robbery and here's another case"
The selection of jury, introduce
ton of testimony, argument by attor-
neys and rendering of verdict re-
quired only a little more than eight
hours. Upon being arraigned Ander-
son entered a plea of not guilty, but
Hanford and Hunter pleaded guilty
and turned States evidence. On the
witness stand they stated that An
derson was the leader of the gang
which was organized in Pennsylva-
Ma, they said, with the avowed pur-
pose OF committing train robbery in
this State.
Another Sentence.
Anderson is wanted in Victoria, B.
C., to serve the remainder of term
for train robbery, but his conviction
here means that he will not be sur
rendered to the Canadian authorities
until after the completion of his SEN
tence in Georgia. AS he is IS years
old, he probably will never be re-
quired to complete his term in Can
ada.
The robbery in which the prisoners
were implicated took place soon after
midnight February Is. Five men,
for two of whom the officers are still
searching, boarded the train and blew
open a safe in the express car, secur-
ing about $4,000. Only two shots
we're fired during the hold-up and
they were for the purpose of fright
ening passengers who left the cars
TO ascertain the reason for the stop
ping of the train. The bandits made
their escape but five days later two
lof them, Hanford and Hunter, were1
captured not far from the scene of
the robbery. The next day Anderson
FELL into the clutches of the officers.

Plead for Mercy.

Baltimore, March 1.-The spec
tacle was witnessed in the criminal
court here to-day of white man
who had brutally beaten his wife,
pleading for mercy with tears
streaming down his face, when he
heard the sentence of five lashes at
the whipping post and imprisonment
in Jail. But there was no mercy be-
cause the testimony showed that
Frank McCauley struck his wife sew
en- or eight times, choked her and
then took from her more than $50.
It was the second sentence of a wife
beater to the post by Judge Duffy

his bride. Mrs. Caffrey has written
to Aberdeen stating that she was trav.

river in South Dakota. with her hus.
band, when she took the wrong train
and lost track of her husband. She
frantically searched for him but he
had taken one train and she another.

ELK FOR THE HILLS
4
PLANNED TO REsrocK BLACK
HILLS WITH A NUMBER OF
ELK FROM WYOMING.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State institutions and Diff
ferent Parts of the
State.

Pierre.-Representatiye Martin has
secured the cooperation of the de
partment of agriculture to the effort
that he has been making to secure the
transfer of two or three carloads OF
young elk from the Jacksons Hole
country IN Wyoming, near the Yellow
stone park, to the forest reserve in
the Black Hills. Many years ago this
section OF South Dakota contained a
great many elk, but they We're slaugh-
tered and driven out. Recently few
scattering ones have been coming
back into the Black Hills region, and
the people of the state have become
interested in restoring the game with
the result that the state legislature
has passed laws to permanently pro-
tect the elk. Appropriations have
been provided whereby the for
est rangers will see that none are
slaughtered. The secretary of agricul-
ture has approved the suggestion COM
ing from the congressman. and the
transfer is to be made this fall, unless
it is found that the season is too far
advanced to permit of the work, in
which latter event, the elk will be
moved later in the year.

VICTORY IS SCORED
STANDARD OIL SUIT HAS BEEN
DECIDED BY THE SUPREME
COURT.
END OF FAMOUS LEGAL FIGHT
Members of High Tribunal Unanimous
as to Main Features of Case, Har-
Ian Dissenting as to Scope of Ap-
plying Sherman Law.

Washington.-The Standard Oil
teen subsidiary corporations have
been declared by the supreme court
OF the United States to be a conspira-
cy and combination in restraint of
trade. 1t was also held to be monop-
olizing interstate commerce in viola
tion Of the Sherman antitrust law.
The dissolution of the combination
has been ordered to take place within
six months.
Thus has ended the terrible strug-
gle on the part of the government to
put down by authority of law combi-
nation which it claimed was a menace
to the Industrial and economic ad-
vancement of the entire country.
AT the same time the court inter
preted the Sherman antitrust law so
as to limit its application to acts of
undue" restraint Of trade and not
"every" restraint of trade 1t was on
this point that the only discordant
note was heard in the court. Justice
Harlan dissented, claiming that cases
already decided by the court had de-
termined once for all that the word
undue" or unreasonable" or similar
words were not in the statute. He
declared that the reasoning OF the
court In arriving at its finding was
in effect legislation which belonged
in every instance to congress and not
to the courts.

LABOR OFFICERS WIN CASE.
Gompers and co-Workers Escape
Terms In Jail.

Terms In Jail.
Washington. Samuel Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison,
president, vice president and secre-
tary of the American Federation Of
Labor, respectively, stepped from
without the shadow of the jail when
the supreme court Of the United
States set aside their sentences Of i'm
prisonment for contempt growing out
of the litigation between the Bucks
Stove and Range company and the
feoeration. The highest tribunal has
left the lower court, however, the
right to reopen the contempt pro
ceedings. This grant of power prob
ably will not be accepted and the case
IS practically ended.
The basis of the courts opinion was
that the proceedings brought against
the labor officers was for civil con
tempt, which could be punished only
by the imposition of a fine. The SEN
tence OF the lower court to imprison.
ment was the penalty for criminal
contempt, therefore, it was not a le-
gal punishment.
