THE STANDARD
No Longer a T~rust-Attorney
Wickersham Now Sat
isfied

Washington, Oct. 23.-To sustain
his contention that the decree dissolv-
ing the Standard Oil company gave the
relief sought by the antitrust suit
against the corporation, Attorney Gen
eral Wickershsm today issued a state.
ment revealing some of the results of
an inquiry he has been making into
conditions in the oil industry.
The statement, intended as a further
reply to criticism that such DEGREES
as that of the Standard Oil benefited
the trusts, was built around a letter
optimistic as to present conditions
which the attorney general recently
received from G. D. Chamberlain,
secretary and general counsel of the
National Petroleum association. That
organization is composed of a large
number of independent refining COM
panies, embracing according to the at
toIney general, practically all the
com panies not connected with the
Standard Oil.
Attorney General Wickersham gave
out with bis statement a copy of a
letter from Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN, who
wrote that while the full effect of
the decree cannot yet be judged, in
dependents today have more unrestrict-
ed and uncontrolled opportunity to
carry on their business without un-
fair, secret an oppressive competition
on the part of one great rival than
they have enjoyed for years past
With this opportunity and insurance
of its permanence, he added. growing
competition will benefit the public and
a monopoly of business be impossible.
Mr.. Cham erlain wrote that as u re-
suit of the decree there had been a
great advance in the price of crude oil,
benefting the crude producer, and
also an increase in the price of refined
products, due to the higher cost of
petroleum and the enormous demand
for gasoline.

Deadwood The farmers in the val.

account of the continued wet weather.
In most sections they have been un-

The Hurley and Lennox fire depart

but could do nothing to prevent the

MURDEROUS ASSAULT
Former Farm Hand Attacks
Minnehaha County Farm.
er's Wife

Sioux Falls, Oct. %. -Firing two
bullets into the breast and abdomen of
Mrs. Sam Helson. 80 years old, living
three miles east of the city, after hav-
ing shot Art Rohl, 90 years old, en-
ployed on the Heison farm, through
the right hand, Lars Stensland, %
years old, formerly employed on the
farm, yesterday fatally wounded Mrs.
Helson and later attempted to take his
own life. Luella, the ~11-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Helson was with her
mother when she was shot and ran to
the Earl Swartout farm, nearby, call
ing for help.
The shooting occurred on the Helson
farm about 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, when Stensland returned from
Sioux Falls in an intoxicated condition
aud carrying a 32 calibre, six shot
revolver.
Stensland, who had for some time
Eeen threatening to harm Mrs. Helson,
was at the farm in the morning and
admitted that he had slept under a
porch from 2 o'clock in the morning
until sunrise. Mr.. Helson went to a
neighbor yesterday morning to assist
in digging potatoes and Rohl was
working outside the house when he
heard Mrs. Helson calling for help.
he went in and found her ON her
knees with a cash 10 her head, where
Stensland had struck her with a
stove poker. He knocked the mar
down and dragged him out of the house
and Stensland later left for the city.
Stensland was under the influence of
liquor when placed in the county Jail
and asked Sheriff Kelley what be had
done, being apparently too dazed to
realize the enormity of his crime. He
has worked for five years at the bel
son home and left there several months
ago to work in the factory of the Da-
kota Plow and Wagon company. He
claimed that Helsou had not settled
with him and blamed Mrs. Helson for
the delay in the settlement.

DOG LOVERS
Interesting Report of the Kennel
Exhibition Now on at
Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls, Oct. 23.-The finest col
lection of CANNES ever seen together in
this section of the country are now on
exhibition at the second annual bench
show of the Sioux Falls Kennel club.
The quality of the dogs is certainly
a surprise. A number of the dogs
have carried home blue ribbons in the
United States, Canada, England and
Scotland, aud some of them are most
valuable.
While the number is not as large as
had been hoped for there are upwards
Of one hundred and fifty dogs already
here for exhibition.

come the English bulls, the pit bulls,
the aerdales. the heedls bounds, fox
terriers, spaniels, pointers, settlers,
ard in fact most any kind of dog

The Il dog that seems to attract the
most attention is a Pomeranian, owned
by b. f. Cline of Huron. This dog
was a,blue ribbon winner at the great
Crystal palace bench show in London.
In this connection it might be stated
that MI. Cline has another doc OF
this species on the way across the
water at the present time. 1t was ex.
pected that it would arrive in time
for exhibition at the show this week,
and it may.
A pair of bloodhounds belonging q

pair of dogs that attract more than
passing attention. They gre beauties.
These dogs have been used in mar

be brothers.
F. Fl. Bacon of Cedar Rapids, Ia,
has a pair of imported English bulls,
which look as though they might
give any of the other dogs in their
class a hard rub for blue ribbon
honors.
There are also three Dalmatians,
otherwise called coach dogs that are
visited by many and also highly com
plimented.
A visit to the show will be worth the
while of any one whether they are dog
fanciers or not. In fact one can easily
spend two or three hours inspecting
the little and big beauties.
The show will continue up to and
including Friday evening.
