J. Hill, as president of the Northern Securities company, and Individually, in which he sustained the contentions of the defendants and dis missed the bill of complaint of the state. He finds that the Northern Se curities company has not violated the state laws forbidding the consolidation of parallel and competing lines of rail road through its ownership of stock in the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific railways. He refuses the injunc tions asked by the state of Minnesota to restrain the securities company from voting the stock of the two roads or either of them. This decision affects the results of the federal government's victory in the circuit court In no way whatever. The federal suit involved the same defend ants and the same general state of facts, but was based on a totally differ ent contention of law. The federal suit In which the securi ties company was beaten was a prose cution for violation of the Sherman an titrust law, passed by the federal con gress. The state suit. In which the securi ties company wins, was based on an allegation that the defendants violated acts of the Minnesota legislature, for bidding the consolidation of parallel and competing lines of railway. The hearing of the state suit was begun Friday, June 5, before Judge Locli.-ep in the 'r leral circuit court. It followed the submission of much testimony by both sides for many months, In whi<;h Frederick G. Inger soll of this city acted as referee. The final argument lasted five days, in which Attorney Douglas, former Attor ney General George B. Wilson and At torney M. D. Munn spoke for the state and George B. Young, M. D. Grover and C. W. Bunn for the defendants. The case was submitted Wednesday. June 10. An appeal to the United States supreme court is now pending in the federal suit. BIG CAVE DISCOVERED.

Five of Them Engaged the Militia in a Fight—Two Soldiers Killed—An other Is Expected to Die From Wounds—Another Citizen Shot by Mistake—Two Convicts Killed. Placervllle, Cal., Aug. 3. —The con victs who escaped from Folsoni prison are still at large. The five who en gaged in a fatal fight with the pursu ing olllcers at the Grand Victory miue have not been seen since, and appar ently have made a successful retreat. In their haste to get away from the militia and sheriff's poshcs they left a water can, several hats and some firearms on the hillside where the last conflict occurred. The dead bodies of Feßtus Ruther ford and W. C. Jones, the two militia men who were shot by the outlaws, were found where they had fallen. Jones had served in the Philippines as a member of the First Tennessee and Thirty-seventh volunteer infantry. A 1 Gill, the national guardsman who was shot through one lung, is now ex pected to recover. Another victim of tho convict chase was Philip Springer, a resident of this district. He is hard of hearing and, failing to respond to an order to halt, was fatally shot by a picket early In the morning. A late report received states that four convicts, not believed to be the same who ambushed the officers, were discovered near I.otus, in the Webber creek district, by a posse. A number of shots were exchanged, but so far as known without results. Lnst night's fight between the con victs and members of Company H of tho state militia was an ambush. Lieutenant Smith and seven men were pursuing a trail that had been dis covered earlier in the day. Their first intimation of the presence of the con victa was when the latter opened fire on them at close range from a hiding place In tho bush. Three members of Lieutenant Smith's squad fell at the first volley. They were Rutherford, Jones and Gill. The soldiers returned the fire of the outlaws, at the same time retreating down the hill, and left the fallen men to lake care of them selves. 0111 managed to make his way down to the hill to a place of safety, and was then picked up by his friends and carried to the mine. Fearful of the bullets of tho convicts, the pur suers made no attempt to get back to the scene of the battlo to learn the fate of tho other two men. The Hill Wai Surrounded. News of tho battle spread quickly to I'lacervllle and the surrounding country, and by 9 o'clock tho hill wns surrounded by ft large force, Including the entire strength of tho Placervlllo company. Nearby and cooperating with the militiamen was a posse of citizens from I'lacervllle, headed by the sheriffs son, DellaH Bosquet. They were within sound and sight of the lighting, but dared not fire for fear of hitting the militiamen. Meutcnant Smith says there were four convicts in the band that opened lire on his men, but ho was unable to Identify any of them except the negro. It was Impossible to liavo a cordon extended round tho hill for some hours. The cor don covered nearly two mIICB and re quired over a hundred men. Ilefore the picket lines could be formed It Is quite possible the convicts got away eastward .along the creek. It Is thought that the plan of the convicts Is to shoot their pursuers from ambush and take chanceß of getting away after ward. Fight Convicts at Dutch Flat.
