DALLAS, lex, July lb.-PrOIeSSOr sharp
Henry spiritual medium, was to-day ar
rested by Policeman Waller after a fierce
struggle. Officer Waller IS OF the opinion
that the professor is crazy, and the de-
velopments in the case bear out that state
ment. Mrs Henry was visited at her resi-
dence on Main street, and Z history of the
case obtained from her She and the
professor were married about three years
ago, when she was widow Johnston. and
having son Jimmie Johnston, then about
nine years old. Mrs. Henry says there has
been trouble ever since the marriage on ac-
count of this child. The professor has gone
TO drinking, and has at repeated times
threatened her life. On yesterday Henry
got IN bad way and last night his wife and
her son sought shelter ct 4 neighbor'S.
Mrs Henry first took her husbands pistols
and hid them. He told her if she ever had
him arrested that he would be prepared,
and would kill the Office, and then ii he
ever got free that he would kill her-in
fact, he was bad man and never would
submit 10 arrest.
This morning Jimmie came home, went to
the stable to hitch up the horse and fetch
his mother home. While he was hitching
up the horse Henry was seen ct the house
smashing in the doors with au AK. The
house now looks as If q cyclone had struck
It. The man armed himself with knives
and prepared to hold the fort. When his
wife arrived home he was in possession.
On center table she found two butcher
knives recently sharpened. These she sue
ceeded in hiding The professor then de-
manded his pistol, but not being forthcom-
ing he started from the place TO borrow
guns. Before he returned, however. he
was arrested at Keller's saloon. Drink is
the cause of his strange actions, and he will
probably be severely dealt with.
THAT DALLAS MILK.

agitating the average Dallasite. Ever since
1t has been known that some of the milk
dealers have been selling impure milk made
after some secret formula the city chemist
has been working at the matter, and the
following is the result Of his investigation
Us far as the ANALYSIS goes:
1t is part phosphate OF soda, > parts bi-
carbonate of soda, , parts nitrate OF potash,
+ parts salt, parts glycerine, S parts milk
ash or IL parts condensed milk, 16 parts
water, boiled and cooled. If one uses
pounds as parts the formula viii make 5l5
gallons of the compound, which will not
cost more than s., and will double 123 gal
Ions of milk. II one uses condensed milk
in place of mill, ash the above formula, if
pounds are used rs parts, will make Gl1 gal
Ions Of the compound, viii cost less than
g. 20 and win double 164 gallons of milk.
The milk ASH is made by taking eight
parts OF fresh milk and four parts refined
sugar. Mix and place in L vessel
inclosed in another vessel containing
water, place on fire. allow it to
boil till it becomes thick paste Then
pour this paste into fat pans, so that it is
not more than one inch in depth. Then !
place tho pans III an oven and with regu-
lar heat, allow the paste to remain until it |
becomes dry powder, when it is ready for |
use. One-foluth is lost by evaporation;
so that If the above parts are pounds one |
will have nine pounds of powder at a cost |
Of not mere than 80 cents.
The connection is said to be very iniuri- |
Gus, especially to the health of children. |
The chemist says he has the names of the |
dairymen who have been manufacturing |
and dispensing it. They deserve the |
heaviest penalty, and should be debarred |
from selling milk in the future.
Two milk dealers have been arrested for !
the city milk ordinance This /
morning Edwards Bros, dairymen, pleaded |
guilty TO the charge, and were fined So. W
r. Atwood was also up before the court on
the charge and proposed TO fight the matter
The trial was held this afternoon before a
Jury in the city court After the argu-
ments the case went to the jury, which had
not at $50 this evening returned verdict
1t is reported that some time ago man
came to Dallas having in his possession the
secret of making cheap milk. He ap-
preached some Of the milkmen on the mat
ter and as a result it is said a number of
The milkmen pooled issues anC bought the |
secret and the exclusive right to use it in |
Dallas, paying for the same the sum of |
$500. These may or may not be the facts
n the case, but it is evident that someone
mas been tampering with the purity of the
Dallas milk supply, and that the scheme
having been discovered, someone is out of
pocket in the purchase of a secret that they +
;annOt use.
