TO BE TRIED ON MERITS

Attorney General Langer won an
important victory In the North Da-
kota supreme court late Saturday
afternoon when that body unanimous
ly overruled Judge 'Nuessle Of the
Burleigh county district court who
has sustained a demurrer on the part
of the so-called fruit trust to the at
torney generals charge that there eX-
listed In North Dakota an illegal com
binatlon in restraint of trade. The
action Of the supreme court In, con-
curing In an opinion written by AS
sociate Justice Birdzell will mean
that the states case against the fruit
trust Is remanded to the district court
for trial on It's merits.
The case was argued In district
and supreme court by Judge 5. l..
NuchOls Of Mandan, one OF the special
assistant attorneys general of whom
the attorney general was recently DC
prived, and Judge w. S. Lawder OF
Wahpeton, another assistant attorney
general, was of counsel. The states
contention was = that Nash Bros,
whose principal North Dakota office
is in Grand Forks, and which the
state insisted controlled l04 fruit
houses in the northwest, absolutely
dictated prices for fruits, vegetables
and similar produce in Grand Forks,
Fargo Minot, Bismarck, jamestown
Dickinson and other North Dakota
towns In which Nash Bros. Gamble
Robinson & Co. and the Stacy Fruit
Co. are established.
The defendants demur. cd on the
ground that the states application for
the cancellation OF their. charter was
premat, t,lre or ont of place, inasmuch
as no criminal conviction for the VIC
lation of the states antitrust laws
had been procured. The attorney gen
erals action. brought under the state
laws, was inaugdrated after the same
defendants, on demurrer from the
United States district court at Fargo
sustained by Judge G. + Anidon, had
taken an appeal. -
