after It had reorganised and completely
purged Itself of the charge that It was
In any way counseled with the Standard
Oil company. The suit acmlnst the com-
pany mas brought In 1W by Attorney
General M M Crana and was brought to
a conclusion by Attorney General Tom
Smith In I'M). The suit was to forfeit
the permit of the defendant company to
do uu-lnt-as in Texas and to restrain It
from doing business In the State Judg-
ment was recovered by the Slat on June
16. 1897.
Aotlon for new trtai being overruled an
appeal aa Uken by the defend. nt to
the court ot civil appeala for the Third
Judicial district at Austin and It waa al-
flrmod by this court. Application w
then made by defendant to the supreme
court of Texaa for a writ of error which
was denied when defendant made appli-
cation for a writ of error lo the auprerm-
