Infringing companies sprang up like gourds in the night. And all went merrily with the promoters until the Overland Company was thrown out of court, as having no evidence, except "the refuse and dregs of former cases — the heel-taps found in the glasses at the end of the frolic." But even after this defeat for the claimants, the frolic was not wholly ended.

The case was allowed to die a natural death, and was infor- mally dropped in 1896.
