Since the dissolution of the Stan
dard Oil Company. competing COM
panies have sprung up and established
local agencies in all parts Of the coun-
try. In each instance they have been
cordially greeted by the residents, who
have grown accustomed to know none
but the Rockefeller combination.
There are some who are skeptical
about material benefit being derived
from the competition, contending chat
pooling arrangements may keep the
prices up; but those Of different opin-
ion cite the fact that the Standard Oil
Company only a few days ago reduced
the price of oil in North Dakota, and
they attribute the reduction to the
entrance Of the Independent Oil Com
pany into this state.
When the Independent Oil Company,
becomes thorouhly established and be-
gins cutting into the field of the Stan
dard OIL Company, sharp competition
is looked forward to, and It expect
ed that the war will be marked by
gradual reduction in prices all along
the line.

....Fall Rye a Valuable Crop....

Stubble land used for tn. rye crop
should have been previously well
plowed, mellow and reasonably free
from weeds. Winter rye usually sur
wives the winter without protection
from stubble. Winter rye should be
seeded the middle or latter part of
August, at the rate Of one and one
half bushels to the acre. 1t should
be sown deeper than is usual with
the spring rains, three inches or even
deeper, If necessary to get to moisture,
Is advisable"

U0b0eS Must Pick
Rocks from Roads
JUSTICE MOE SENTENCES Three
TO PERFORM GOOD, coMPUL-
sorry WORK ON ROADS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The undesirable element that has in
vaded Valley City along with the hun
dreds of honest working men who
came here to obtain work in the har-
vest fields, must give this city a wide
berth hereafter. Justice of the Peace
Moe this morning sentenced one to
thirty days imprisonment for Carrying
q concealed weapon, and two drew
four days each on a charge Of vag-
rancy.
No soft snap goes with the sentence.
Sheriff Stenshoel Immediately started
the prisoners at work picking boulders
and big stones out of the roads. This
punishment is considered even better
than breaking rock. With hammer,
prisoners may catch hold of the end
of the handle and not strain their
backs, but picking up boulders is diff
ferent. The back gets plenty of exer-
else as we'll as all other muscles of
the body.
mo leniency will be extended from
now on" said Justice Moe, in passing
sentence. "The harvest is on, there is
plenty of work for all who want work.
There is no possible excuse for idle
ness. AS this is the first case of the
season shall improve the opportunity
by making the announcement that all
offenders who come before me a Sec
ond time shall receive not less than
thirty days sentence. And I want it
thoroughly understood that this does
not mean first offenders will be let
on without sentence"

the loss of number of lives.
instruments in the government seis.
mological station continued to record
vibrations for four minutes and six
seconds. showing that the center was
about 95 miles away, probably in the
state of Guerrero. No details have
been. received from that region. how
ever, possibly because of the fact that
large part of the state is menanccd
by rebels.
The shock was recorded as far
north as Guanajuata and Zacatecas.
The last shock here was recorded a;
7:42 O'Clock this morning.
Reports received here indicate that
the shock was more severe In the state
of Mexico than In the capital. Eight
small towns suffered considerable
loss. In majority of them church
towers toppled over and most Of the
buildings were damaged. The little
town Of Tlmilpan was practically de-
stroyed and a number of people there
are reported to have been killed.

Jury Took Twenty Minutes to
Convict the Gu,lnlen of Murder

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-"Gyp, the
Blood" Lefty Louie" "Dago Frank"
and Whitley Lewis. killed Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler, at the insti-
cation of Charles Becker, and must
pay the penalty of death In the cleo
trio chair. The jury, which has been
hearing the evidence against the four
gunmen. so decided today when 1t re-
turned a verdict Of murder in the first
degree after but twenty minutes of de-
liberation.
The gunmen heard the verdict pro-
nounced against them without show
of emotion. They stood at the bar
looking straight ahead as the foreman
of the jury made known the result
of its deliberations, and they continu-
ed to stare stoiidly in front of them.
Remanded to their cells in the Tombs
will fix the day for imposing sentence,
they turned and filed out of the court
room with as firm step as when
they had entered.
Whitley" Lewis-he who was the
most dramatic of the four when he
testified on the witness stand, alone
walked with bowed head.
As they entered the door leading
over the Bridge of Signs" "Gyp"
said something to Lefty" in sullen
undertone which none could hear
Outside, "Lefty's" doll-faced wife
"Lefty's Lillian" as she is called
wept on the shoulder of her husbands s
father. who vainly tried to comfort
her. "Gyp's" wife, known as "Gyps
Lillian" received the news In the
house of detention. The two other
gunner are unmarried.
Former Magistrate Charles NJ. f.
Wahle, counsel for the gunner, an
nounced that he would appeal from
the verdict. and. as in the case of
Becker, months may elapse before
their ultimate fate is determined
Meantime, they will occupy cells near
that of the former police lieutenant
in the death house at Sing Sing.
Although the jury was actually out
of the court room an hour and five
minutes, il was twenty minutes after
their retirement that word reached
the clerk of the court that they had
arrived at a verdict This was at
1855 O'Clock. but Justice Goff was at

three quarters of an hour later,
The final day Of the trial opened
with Justice GOff's charge to the jury
which occupied three hours. The
charge emphasized many points in the
trial of the gunmen which, the pro-
secution. in its summing, declared
were discrepancies of their stories.
III the defendants contention were
true that Rose and his companions,
Webber, Vallon and Schepps, shot
Rosenthal. would he have invited
them around to the Metropole hotel
to the scene of the shooting? ?" Justice
Goff asked the jury.
did the defendants tell the truth
when they said they saw Rosenthal
shot and were near enough to dis
tlnguish the faces OF those who did
the shooting. but did not see Rosen-
thai fall? Was the testimony of the
defendants in support of the allbi OF
'Dago Frank interposed by prc-ar-
rangement?"
The verdict was a just one and
