The Standard Oil trust was killed this afternoon, when the Supremo I'ouil upheld the derision of the High'h Tinted States Court, rendered in St. Louis In November, 190!, branding the company as a monopoly and or dering its dissolution under the Sher man anti-trust law. A small audi ence of lawyers and business men heard the death sentence to the hull billiou dollar trust and the ruling which means the end of a large num ber of smaller monopolies which con trol the business In the United States. In Courts 4 Years. The decision rendered today direct ly affects the biggest business com bine in the United States, and, indi rectly, nearly a hundred other busi ness combines, modeled on the same lines. It is the culmination of a legal battle which has been fought all ov:-:r the country for four and a half years. The case had its inception in the filing of a bill of complaint iu Novem- bi, liiOd, before the Circuit Couit for the F.astern District of Missouri, against Hit corporations and seven individuals, on the ground that they were a "combination in restraint of trade," and therefore violating the Sherman anti-trust law. John D. Rockefeller, Wm. 0. Rockefeller, Henry II. Rogers, Henry M. Flagler, Oliver II. Payne and Charles II. Pratt were among the individuals made defendants by the suit. Frank H. Kellogg was the Govern ment's attorney, and opposing him was Moritz Rosenthal, who was reputed to have been paid $1000 fer every day he appeared in court. There were four or five other legal assist ants. At the actual trial, before the Cir cuit Court, the trust was represented WHY WE ARE NOT HAVING A SALE Because our goods are paid for.

J Hy itt decree, the "holding com pany, the Standard Oil of Ney Jer sey, was enjoined from voting the shares of stork in any of the com panies controlled by It, or from re ceiving any dividends therefrom. From the decision, the oil trust appealed, alleging titi errors In the decree. Briefly, these were that the court erred in compelling non-resident corporations and individuals to appear at St. Louis; in overruling the plea of the defendants that the court had no jurisdiction; in nudtug thai the 11 corporations absorbed by the Standard Oil of New Jersey In 18i)i were then competitive; iu finding that the seven Individual defendants in the ten years prior to 1 8 1 y hud acquired competing companies to suppress competition; that the, sub sidiary companies in the combine were entirely controlled by the par ent corporation, and that an exchange of stock for an Interest iu a single corpotatfon was Illegal.

The Supreme Court de cision today reversed the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia iu sentencing the three for contempt In disobeying the injunction In the Ruck Stove & Range Company case and dismissed the whole case The court based its decision on the contention that the case was purely civil, that contempt, if nny existei, had Its recourse in an action for dam ages, and that tha jail sentence was therefore unwarranted The case was the outgrowth of the publication of the "We don t patron ize Ruck Stove and Range Dealers" In the "Federalist," the official organ of the American Federation of Labor.

Sandry was then sur rounded by the mob and one pei'Bon cried out "get a rope." Sandry was cool In the ordeal and, facing his accusers without any sign of feai, said: "Gentlemen, you are mistaken Iu your man. 1 am an officer of the law, but I am no 'spotter.' I never did that kind of work, 1 never will. There isn't enough meney In the world to induce me to do It. Ask your officers If I have ever been guil ty of 'spotting.'''" A friend of Sandry and a local citizen vouched for the truth of this statement and the mob slowly dis persed, though some appeared dis satisfied. The incident ia the Bole topic of discussion about town today, and Sandry intending to prosecute two or three members of the mob who made threats against him, has laid the matter before the grafd jury. The sheriff's office has issued a statement saying that Sandry was In no way collected with the gathering of the evidence lending to the Indict ments against the local near-beT dealern.

Tuey hud gone about two blocks Houth of the merry-go-round, when the child became alarmed and started to return. Har ris, she says, grasp. d her by one of her arms uml attempted to detain her, at the same time offering her a $10 gold piece. Thoroughly fright ened by this time, the girl threateii"d an outcry and Harris released her. I'pon learning of the affair the o Ulcers started a search for Harris, enlisting the aid of Sandiy because of his being a HI ranger here.

At the conclusion of this case, Joseph Morlnos was placed on trial for the burglary of I,. II. Ithoades & Company's store In Hosehurg. I lis companion, Henry Allen, pleaded guilty when arraigned in court this afternoon, practically Insuring the conviction of Morlnos. Like the Stunley-Kelley case, Morlnos and Allen were caught with the stolen goods In their possession.
