LOCAL MERCHANTS TO FIGHT Have Canvassers for Chicago Hooso Arrested aad Court Assesses a Fine. ATLANTIC, la.. Dec. 81. (Special Tele gram.) A novel and most Interesting case was tried before Justice Pressnall here to day. For some time past a gang of men has been canvassing the county represent ing what they call the Chicago Supply company. The canvassers take orders for all manner of merchandise, such as cloth ing, dry goods, shoes, etc., and have been doing such an extensive business from their headquarters in this city, where a cutter was kept cutting and fitting the suits and . overcoats they sold, that ths local merchants have become hostile and today Frank Nebe of Nebe Bros.' shoe house, as a representative of the various local concerns Interested.' had the agents or canvassers arrested under the Iowa statute which provides that a license must be paid for such work, charging them with peddling without a license. The strangers employed good counsel to defend them, while County Attorney Bryant prosecuted. The defense claimed they were not ped dlers, but were simply agents of a for eign house and were under the protection of the Interstate commerce act A great legal battle was fought on both sides, but Justice Pressnall held for the state and fined the defendants 850 each and cests The defense put up ball in the sum of J 100 and w ill appeal to the supreme court, their attorney from Chlcsgo coming, so they say, to assist their local counsel in the trial. This case will be pushed by the local merchants, who have all combined In bearing the expense and If necessary the matter will be taken to the, supreme court, as the taxpaylng business men are anxious to kill off this clsa of non-taxpaying competition.

He adds that the reoccuputlon of Mukden by the Russians was effected chiefly for the purpose of checking this movement. I.IBAU, Russia. Dec. 31.
