FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1919. ~ COURT SUSTAINS| DEMURRER-CASE MAY GO HIGHER Judge Nuessle Rules Complaint Against Fruit Houses Was Insufficient Contending that the complaint did not set forth any cause of action, the defendants in the suit brought by At- torney General Langer against the Gamble-Robinson and Stacy-Bismarck fruit companies of Bismarek this aft- ernoon withdrew their answer and filed a demurrer, which was sustained by_ Judge Nuessle. The attorney general had instituted a civil suit against the defendants for the revocation of their charters. The defense contended that inasmuch as the defendants had been convicted in no criminal action alleging violation of the North Dakota anti-trust act, as charged in the complaint, a civil. ac- tion for the cancellation of their char- ters could not be brought. This ccn- tention was sustained by Judge Nues- sle. It is probable that the attorney general will immediately appeal to the supreme court. Today’s action grew out of a com- plaint filed with the attorney general by Murray & McLean, a former Bis- marck commission house, who declared that conspiracy and unfair cpmpeti- _ tion on behalf of the defendants put them (the complainants) out of busi- ness. Assistant Attorney General Albert E. Sheets, Jr.; Judge John Carmody of Hillsboro and Judge Nuchols of Mandan appeared for the state. Fisk & Murphy of Minot. represented the Gamble-Robinson Co., and C. J. Mur- phy of Murphy & Toner, Grand Forks, and Pierce Butler of St. Paul, repre- sented the Stacy-Bismarck Co. The action is the first of its type brought under North Dakota’s anti- trust law. The attorney general con- tends that in violating this act the de- fendants have forfeited their right to do business in North Dakota, and that their charters should be canceled tay sine corporate existence termi- nated. ig Smoke and Heat Are Bad Mixture Clouds of smoke, drifting high | overhead, coming from Idaho, { Montana and Oregon, where for- | est fires have burned over a large | area for the last week, coupled with an unusual humidity and a temperature of 93, treated North Dakota to another unpleasant ex- perience today. The sun all aft- ernoon hung suspended like a huge | copper ball, showing red and angry through its veil of smoke, The barometer was falling at the Bis- marck weather bureau late this afternoon, and it is possible that a storm is breeding. | MARKETS [| o———____________——-@ CHICAGO Cattle, 1,800; killers steady.
