Dockery Carries on the Fight
With Remorseless Vigor
and Success.
ANOTHER UNEXPECTED RAID.
A Wagon Captured Near the City
Hall Loaded Only With Vile.
Smelling Swill.

Milk Inspector Dockery spent all the
early hours of yesterday morning in Wig
orous and not altogether futile chase after
the dairymen who persist in tampering
with their stock in trade.
The Inspector in company with CALL
representative and a gentleman from one
of the larger interior towns, left the City
Hall about II 80 o'clock Tuesday night.
Davis and East streets, with their restau-
rants galore, yielded up a goodly harvest
of samples, all of which were promptly put
through the Babcock test and found to be
up to the standard.
From this point Dockery proceeded out
the San Bruno road and later to the Five
mile House on the Mission road. This
raid yielded nothing but that satisfaction
which comes OF work well done, for out of
forty wagons held up not one fell below
the standard fixed by the Board of Health.
From Mission road Dockery came down
to Sixth and Howard streets, where a
number of wagons were held up. While
making test a wagon belonging to La
pachet Bros. of the Franco American
Dairy came along. The driver made
desperate but futile attempt to escape,
Dockery showing sprinting qualities which
enabled him to overtake the fugitive ere
he had gone half block.
An examination of the milk showed it to
be away off in every detail which goes
to make up pure article. In order to be
sure, however, Dockerv made three Bah
cock tests, the result being the same in all.
The entire load, amounting to about l30
gallons, was promptly emptied into the
gutter.
A tour of the downtown restaurants was
then made, sample being taken from
each place visited. When Dockery got
back to the City Hall yesterday morning
at o'clock he had on hand about twenty
samples of milk, from which at least ten
arrests are expected.
About noon yesterday B. Palaccon of the
University Farm halted his team imme-
diately opposite the Board of Health rooms
in the City Hall, and Dockery chanced to
be passing by, and remem bering that Pal
accon had been once before arrested con-
cluded to take another sample of his milk.
Instead of milk, however, he found only
swill, the vilest kind of swill, and that, too,
in the milk cans used to furnish his daily
trade. A closer inspection showed two
big tubs of swill. and nearly half the cans
on board filled with the same stuff
Dockery Immediately placed him under
arrest, Officer Holbrook of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
placing cruelty" charge against him at
the same time.
The cases of j. Augusta, Sausalito
dairy, and j. Fuhl, proprietor of the Royal
coffee saloon, came up before Judge Camp
bell yesterday. The defendants were fined
$40 each, The case of S. Vosti, whose
partner attempted suicide last week be-
cause his milk was found to be adulter-
ated, was to have been heard before Judge
Campbell on Monday last, but Vosti failed
to show up. His $50 cash bail was de-
cIared forfeited.
