Is Different Version.

This evidence was in direct conflict
with that introduced bp the state thru
Mrs. Meadows who asserted that she
was engaged in the struggle and that
Dresser reached around her with the
gun and fired the shot that resulted
in Rennetts death. 1t was quite
largely upon this testimony by Mrs.
Meadows that the state had based it's
prosecution.
Carl Burkmastcr of Star and w. l..
Barley of Emmett, passengers upon
Campbell's car and also witnesses of
the shooting, coroborated the testi-
mony as Campbell had given it.
That bad blood had existed between
the two men and that Bennett had
made threats against Dresser. In his
own behalf, Dresser bore out the test
imony relating to the struggle that
had been introduced by Campbell He
testified that he had no definite
knowledge himself of the manner in
which the gun had been exploded,
that he might have pulled the trigger
but that he had no definite knowledge
of it.

Theproposition submitted was not
entirely ]c(e1r lbut because, of the
lateness of the season and their evil
dent desire to get ahead as rapidly as
possible. Mr. Shorb was instructed to
wire them that the Commercial club
would be willing to meet them half

Construction of one line plant, so
built as to make easy the addition of
other units as the business demanded
is advocated by the Michigan men
Each has considerable experience in
the business and are anxious to as

In general, sentiment among club
members favored the proposition sub

been made to the local club looking
to the introduction of canning bust
ness here.
Many Other Matters.
New standing committees were an
nounced by John Smeed, president of

.As for our willingness to stop
handling canned goods and . few
other commodities ordinarily sold
BY wholesale grocers. want TO
emphasize the fact that there have
been ample economic reasons for
our handling these products. in that
we have the distributive machinery

I'VE believe that eventually the
public would have come to realize
the soundness of our position, but
because of the spirit OF unrest and
misunderstanding we are glad to
make some sacrifices and conces-

necessary to make such sacrifices
during the uncertain period of re-
construction as it was during the
war.
Let me direct attention to the
fact that the decree to which we
have agreed to submit in no way
finds US guilty of combination in re-
straint of trade. or of any other IL
legal practices. Under no condition
would l have consented to such a
solution if the decree were %

For this reason, enjoining US
from combining to restrain trade
will in no way affect our opera
tons, because we are an independ
ent unit in open competition with
the other large packers and with
hundreds of smaller ones. The de-
cree in this respect will merely
strengthen existing law, which we
,, are following to the letter.
with these thoughts in mind, 1
trust that you will appreciate the
fact that our position is in no way
an admission that we have been
guilty of anything economically.

we have made this concession with
the sincere hope that it will help to
overcome the suspicion which still

Chicago, Jan. =. 1870.
Editor The Arg1s: In Z recent
issue OF your paper editorial COM
Ment was made on he recent agree
menf between the attorney general
Of the unffed States and each Of
the larger packers, including Swift
& Co.
It appears that the editorial was
written on Information contained in
Washington dispatches and without
taking into account the statements
made by both parties to the agree
ment.
The matter agreed upon repre-
sents a new departure in coopera-
ton between corporate industry
and the government And as it is a
sincere desire on the part of the
packers to aid in directing public
thought to whole-hearted consid-
Grafton OF constructive efforts in r =
adjustment to normal conditions,
the agreement deserves unpfe,u-
diced analysis and consideration.
A few editors refer to this agree
ment as q surrender" on the part
of the packers, and intimate that
the latter must have been guilty or
they would not have compromised
Swift & Co. entered this agree
ment, not because OF any fear of
an adverse decision in the courts,
for there has been no violation OF
the law, but because We realized
that a deep rooted fear had been
developed in the public mind
against one organization or small
groups handling many lines of CON-
peting food products; and, we real
ICED that even if we we're acquitted
i-by the court after a long and costly
proceeding, this favorable decis-' II
would do little to counteract this
prejudice and blind fear in the pub
lie mind.
The following statement, issued
on Dec. 20 by L. F. Swift, president
of Swift G. Co.. clearly states the
motives that actuated Swift & Co.
to become a party to the agree
ment:
During the next few days the
newspapers will, through editorial
expression, interpret for their read

motives in entering this agreement
will be of interest to you.

agreed to sell our interests in STOCK

been to improve the facilities Tor

Viola Lorenzen, only woman desk SER
geant In the United States, was petting
the Belgian hare that the station span

Lorenzen's maltese cat.
The telephone bell rang. The SER

Suddenly his police instinct func-
toned. There was Rosary college.

ing college 1t had a campus. Crank
ing his f1ivver he leaped In, coaxed the

Before he arrives, let us explain
that his deduction was correct. The

coaxingly, maneuvering the flivver

chief extracted sturdy rope from
his tool kit, tied it about her neck,
and attached the other end to the rear |
axle of the fiivver. Lucy wagged her
tail cOntentedly.
Lucy Sat Down.
Then he cranked the flivver, leaped

flick. She walked in front of the car.
The chief transferred the rope from
the rear to the front axle. He short
ened it just sufficiently for Lucys
rear feet to clear the car.
Then, without starting the engine,
he climbed aboard, fiicked Lucy snap.
