The court not only ousted the com- pany from its right to do business in Missouri, but-imposed a fine of $50,- 000, conditioned that if the company pays the fine, separates itself from the International Harvester Company of America, files: a statement of its business and shows to the court that it will obey the laws in the future, it can be permitted to continue to do business in the state. The court gave the harvester com- pany until January 1, 1912, to pay the fine of $50,000 and until March 1, 1912, to withdraw from the New Jer- sey company and to show the court that it is an independent company and will comply with the Missouri laws. Failing in this the ouster or- der will be signed by the court imme- diately after March 1. Sustained Every Finding. Judge Lamm, Judge Brown, Judge Ferris and Judge Woodson concurred in the opinion by Judge Graves. Chief Justice Nalliant wrote an opin- ion which was concurred in by Judge Damm, Judge Brown and Judge Fer- ris, It left the amount of the fine to be fixed by the court after the com- pany made a showing that it would comply with the law in the future. Judge Graves sustained the position of Special Commissioner Brace on every contention. The opinion found that competition was lessened and that practically all of the harvester business was done by the respondent company in the state. It held that the plan is contra- ry to the laws of the state of Missou- ri for- one company to conduct the business of another as in this case, the New Jersey company had no li- cense to do business in Missouri.

Another important real estate trans- action involving a consideration of $20,625.00, was consumated in the Prairie Queen Monday at which time Hedges & Robinson, real estate agents sold for the Morris Land Co., to Gates and Fred Merrifield, well. known stockmen and farmers a few miles south of the city, what is known as the M. K. & T. Coal Tract, consisting of 450 acres of fine farming land on Round Prairie, on which the Peeler coal mines are located. It is’ said ‘to have been a cash deal and the pur- chasers can congratulate themselves upon the fact that they are able to to pick up such a bargain. ‘ In the Merrifield brothers, and no better or more worthy men ever graced a community with citizenship, we have a most excellent illustration of what good judgment; industry and integrity will accomplish in this God- favored and never-failing section of country. The’boys started out in the battle of life with no capital and no backing, but a strong determination to succeed on what was then con- sidered the poorest farm in the com- munity and what is the result today? It is the reverse.

The bird was a monster, measuring 7 1-2 feet from tip to tip of wings, and its talons when spread were larger than the hands of the average man. Mr. Vermillion, who accompanied by his brother, Ben, was in'the city Tuesday, stated the bird’s mate was still‘in the - neighbor- hood and that although he had shot at it and wounded it, the bird had made its escape. .
