LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

A|ASA%AA9'%AS
Yesterday morning the cases of Conrad
Schepp, VIM. Meister, Henry Schaumloffel
and Eugene Watson for selling the meat of a
diseased cow, which has caused such sensa-
ton for few weeks past, came up for judg-
ment. The Court in passing judgment took
occasion to make the following remarks
ssThere is no question as to the enormity of
the offense. 1t is hard to conceive how
person dependent upon the community In
which he resides for success in his business
relations, as well as his standing a citizen,
could be influenced by greed of gain to per-
petrate an outrage calculated to destroy the
health of those to whom he is indebted Tor his
prosperity Upon the honor and integrity of
the butcher and those engaged III similar pur-
suits, depend in measure the comforts OF home
and the health and happiness of the family
circle. There should be no lack of confidence
between the shopkeeper and the household
When that trust is betrayed In the willtul
commission of crime of this nature, such
betrayal cannot be viewed except with feel
ings of abhorrence and no estimate can be
made of the serious injuries which endanger
its unsuspecting victims. The presence of
the guilty one in civilized community is as
much to be dreaded as that of leper,
and the crime is as much to be condemned as
the stealtby tread of the midnight assassin.
Let me admonish you to consider seriously
the position you now occupy. For such a
wrong no trivial penalty is sufficient. SO tar
as 1 am informed, however, this is the first
offense of this nature that has occurred in
this community. l am not unmindful of the
fact that the bare verdict of guilty, the record
of that verdict and its publication may seri-
ously affect your business and social relations.
The Judgment of the Court shall not be lack
ing in mercy. But let me admonish you, for
your own sake and for the sake of those who
may be near and dear to you, to be mindful
in future of your character. Let good deeds
in future obliterate the memories or this hour.
Make an effort to regain what you have lost.
Strive to secure good reputation, and let
that reputation be your shield and your
guard, so that hereafter no reproach may be
upon you, but that your name may be hon
ored and respected among men. Counsel
for defendants in each case filed motions in
arrest OF judgment and for new trials. The
motions were overruled by the Court, and the
defendants were then sentenced to pay a fine
of $3.50 each, or in default to be imprisoned
six months in the county prison. Notices of
appeal were fled in each case, and bonds on
appeal fixed in the sum of $500 each. II.
Schaumloffel subsequently paid his fine and
ended the matter as to himself.
