I saw the law of free competition, the great law of struggle and the survival of the fittest, defied, violated, desecrated I discovered the residence of Huntington's assistant, and called on her.

The Union Pacific acquired large holdings from Collis P. Huntington's estate and controlled the Southern Pacific. The power behind the Southern Railway got control of nearly all the other Southern railways, including the Atlantic Coast Line, the Plant System, and at last even the Louisville and Nashville.

"All right," responded Larkin, gathering up the reins as if to terminate the interview.
As soon as General Keith could hear from Miss Brooke he took the child to her; but to the last Lois said that she wanted Gordon to come with her. Soon afterwards it appeared that General Huntington's property had nearly all gone. His plantation was sold.
I was losing precious time, but I could not bring myself to get away from St. Louis without having had the desired interview. Huntington's name was buzzing in my mind like an insect.
