consequence OF the discovery We men,
toned yesterday that there are fraudu-
lent Buckets OF ii in the city. The
buckets that were stripped AID weighed
were marked with the makers name
and the place of manu- "a 3ture, together

10 pounds. This is a matter cur mer-

and discrediEsble fraud? The facts
should be reported 70 our chamber Of
commerce, which, after investigation,
should communicate the circumstances
officially to the chamber of commerce
Of the city where the fraudulent weights
were packed, and that body should call
the packer TO account; "iet Justice be
done though the heavens fall"
