A $2,000,000 ANTI-TRUST SUIT
Attorney General Rogers Files
Big Suit Against Waters
Pierce Oil Company
Little Hock, July 9. Attorney
General Robt. L. Rogers and
his associate counsel have attacked
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company,
in a suit tiled in the circuit court
Saturday asking judgment in the
sum of $2,000,000, and for for
feiture of the company’s right to
do business in the state on the
ground that it is a member of a
trust.
The attorney general alleges
that the Waters-Pierce Oil Com
pany L a member of a pool, trust,
agreement, combination, confed
eration and understanding with
other corporations, among which
are the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana, the Republic Oil Com
pany of New York and the Stand
dard Oil Company of New Jersey.
It is alleged that these corpora
tions entered into a trust to regu
late, fix and maintain the price of
petroleum and other oils and pro
ducts thereof, naptha, benzine,
gasolien, kerosene and lubricating
oils, and also to lix and limit the
amount of such commodities.
The complaint in this suit is
similar to those tiled in the suits
against the packing companies, ice
companies and others under the
anti-trust law, alleging that the de
lendent was doing business in
Arkansas while a member of
such a pool or trust, and was a
member of the trust while doing
business in this state.
This suit covers a longer period
of time than any other suit tiled.
The penalty of $5,000 a day for
violate n of the law is asked for
every day from March 25, 1905,
to July 0, 1906. The maximum
penalties for this period of time
aggregate $2,000,000 and judg
ment in this sum is asked. The
court is also asked to declare the
right of the company to do busi
ness in Arkansas forfeited.

STATE HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD
Items of General InterestGathered
Fresh From the Columns of
the Daily Papers,
C. M. Bryant of Augusta, Ark.,
a land and timber buyer, was
found near Fairfield, Texas, a few
days ago lying beside the road
with three bullet holes in his body.
The object of the murder is
thought to have been robbery as
the dead man’s pockets were turn
ed inside out.
A tragedy due to the old story,
“didn't know it was loaded,’’ oc*
curred at l’aragould Thursday,
the victim being Ethel Cabbie, a
girl 14 years of age, who was shot
dead by Leonard Crews, a boy 17
years old. They were playing
with a pistol and had no idea the
thing was loaded.
REPUBLICANS BUSY
Little Rock, July 9.—Reports
from nearly every section of the
state indicate renewed Republican
activity. By the time the con
gressional election arrives there
will be scarcely a district in the
state in which the Democratic
nominee will have no opposition.
The recent victory of the machine
in Arkansas over the old time
leaders, has given the men stand
ing in with the Federal govern
ment the idea that they can ac
complish a great deal at the com
ing general election, and in fact it
would appear probable that Mr.
Roosevelt has been promised a
better showing from this state, in
consideration of his support of the
regulars.

But No One Killed
Hot Springs, July 7. Two per

less than 25 pas-enges were slight
ly hurt, principally by Hying glass

when it turned turtle alongside
the overturned engine.
The second coach, occupied by
white passengers, and die combi
nation coach in, the rear did not
leave the track.
