VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY | —_— ‘Juluc Anderson Declares the Govern- | ment Falled to Prove Its Contention ! That the Standard Company Wil- " fully Accepted a Secret Rate and Orders the Jury to Acquit the Defendant. Chicago, March 1i—Judge Ander- in the federal district court here, tnstructed the jury in the Standard ©Ofl case to find the company not guilty. The decision of the court was sanounced at the close of a long argu- ment by Assistant District Attorney ‘Wilkerson and the jury was immedl- adely summoned and instructed to re- twm a verdict of not guilty. This means that all but two of the pending tadictments against the Standard Oil sompany of Indiana are void and will e abandoned by the government. The two cases not affected by the de- siston are cases Involving the ship- wment of 1915 carloads of oil from Whiting, Ind., to Evansville, Ind,, via lton Junction, over the Chicago and Ilinois railroad. The question of whether or not the brated case should be continued ed on the introduction as evidence tarfft 24 In its application to the Rlinois classification issued in 1899, making & rate of 18 cents on oil from ‘Whiting, Ind, to East St. Louls, and which attorneys for the defense con- tended had been superceded by a later slassification. Judge Anderson, in a | _JUDQE A. B. ANDERSON, ffteen-minute discussion of the case to the jury, explained his position and announced that if the case was to go 8o the jury and a verdict of guilty was returned he could do nothing but set maide the verdict. “There is absolutely nothing on which a conviction in this case could stand before any court in this coun- ,” the court said, in concluding his sharge to the jurors. “The govern- ment has falled to prove its conten- Mom that the 18-cent rate was the law- P rate between Whiting and East Bt. Lowls and that the defendant had wiltully aceepted & lower rate and Fhere is, therefore, nothing to do but Bor the jury to bring in a verdiet of bot guilty.” This case is the same one which was tried before Judge K. M. Landls, ® verdict of guilty belng returned April 18, 1907. Arguments for a new Irial were heard in May and a motion or & new trial was denied. On Aug. R 1907, Judge Landis imposed his Bumous fine of $29,240,000. On appeal the case went to the Dnited States circult court of appeals snd was argued a year ago. The de- sialon of the court of appeals reversing Judge Landis and remanding the case floe & new trial was given July 23, 1908. Attempts of the government to obtain & rehearing of the case before the appel court, as well as their endeavors to secure a review of it be- fore the United States supreme court, falled. The second trlal was begun Defore Judge Anderson Feb. 23.

Father Erasin Anslon, rector of the Polish church of St. Stanislaw, was shot and almost instantly killed by three masked men in his rectory here. Miss Antonla Sewrzytska, housekeeper for the rector, who attempted to pre- vent the assassination, was slightly wounded in the abdomen. As there has been a dispute among the leaders of the church over its affairs the shooting was at first believed to have been the outcome of that disagree- ment. . Three men, who were unknown te the servants, called at the rectory while the rector was celebrating mass in the church. They were admitted to the parlor and Father Ansion was notified of their presence as soon as he returned from mass. As the rector entered the parlor the men opened fire on him. One bullet penetrated the breast near the heart and the two oth- ers lodged in the abdomen. Father Ansfon died in the ambulance while on the way to the hospital. The housekeeper was wounded in the abdomen, but not seriously. Other priests in the rectory, hearing the shots, rushed toward the parlor, where- upon the assassins fled from the house and escaped, The tragedy is believed to be the culmination of a serles of factional fights which have disrupted the church for many months.

The Mistake is Made by Many -Bemidji Citizens. Don’t mistake the cause of back- ache. To be cured you must know the cause, : Itis wrong to imagine relief is cure.

Clyde' Johnson, living at 1014 Bemidji,Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “For some time F endured a great deal of suffering from kidney com- plaint. There was apainin my ‘back and during ‘the ‘early part of the day T felt languid and tired. T decided to trya reliable kidney remedy, went to The Owl Drug Store, and procured a box of Doan’s Kid- ney Pills.
