ton about the time the dispute arose be-
tween him and the other brokers' in regard
to the manner of conducting business at the
yards. Shiel after he had purchased the
hogs declined to pay the price demanded,
claiming he had been imposed on. He
charged that Smith, the man who sold him
the hogs, was a tool" of Clark, Wysong 81
Voris, opposition brokers, and that Smith
was really making the sale for this firm
Shiel in an answer filed with the court de-
clared that he thought the hogs were of high
grade when he bought them and afterward
found that they came from Diamond AL
ley a quarter of the yards where all sorts
Alley is not considered by brokers to be of
the highest grade.
The defendant was on the witness stand
for more than an hour and on cross-ex-
animation was closely questioned by At
torney Coffin as to what is meant by 'Dia-
mond Alley hogs. Mr.. Shiel became some

DIRT IN MILK.
Over 1,3OO Pounds a Year in the In
dianapOlis Consumption.

The State Board of Health was asked to
investigate the milk supply of this city
some time ago and made extensive exam
nations of the tactical fluid sold in all parts
of the city. DR.. Hurry. in discussing the
matter yesterday, said that is was probable
that nearly every one in the city had at diff
ferent times noticed small black specks in
the milk they used in their homes. Some
times these specks were noticeable to a
great degree while at other times they
were hardly perceptible. While DR.. Hurry
did not say that the presence of these
specks meant any particular danger to the
consumers, he said it was a sign of filth
and altogether unnecessary. Said he:
These specks are dirt which has fallen
into the milk from the TANKS and udder of
the COW. Ten careful analyses show that
each one hundred pounds of milk as dis
tributed here contains on the average thir-
ty-two grains of dirt, mostly fine manure.
There are used daily in Indianapolis 10000
gallons of milk, weighing $4,000 pounds. and;
therefore, there is in this amount $500
grains (36 pounds) of manure This is the
daily amount and in one year, therefore,
the milkmen distribute for food 1.314 pounds
Zone big wagonload) of manure, and receive
therefor $40 or $40. A little greater cleanli-
ness in daiTies would be appreciated by
milk consumers in this city,

ONE FOOT FROZEN.
Charles SOIIes Also Staggered from
Typhoid Fever.

The arrest of Charles Solles OH the charge
of vagrancy brought to light a peculiar
state of affairs yesterday. Officer Shine
found Solles at Bellefontaine street and
Massachusetts avenue, and noticed that he
was acting in a peculiar manner. He
thought he was drunk, and surmised that
he came within the qualifying limits of the
ordinance defining vagrancy. He therefore
placed him under arrest and started with
him to the police station, when he found
that something more than liquor was
troubling Solles What it was could not
be determined until the party arrived at the
station, when the DiSpensary physicians, on
examination, found that he was sick with
typhoid fever and had one of his feet
frozen. He was at once taken TO the City
Hospital, where last night he was in a
much improved condition Solles is labor
er and lives with his mother at No. 326 West
Maryland street.

Mr.. barnard, an Indiana Sculptor.

Wednesday night the Grand Hotel had as
guests Mr.. and Mrs. George Gray Barnard,
of New York city. Mr.. Barnard has at
tanned high rank as q sculptor. While he
was born in Pennsylvania he was reared
in this State and regards Indiana as his
old home. He and Mrs. Barnard were on
their way to the old home at Madison to
spend the holidays. His most colossal work
has not yet been completed, and it is pro-
nounced the greatest piece of sculpturing
ever done in America. 1t will be placed in
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New
York, and is called II Feel Two Natures
Struggling Within Me-, and represents a
man who has permitted his baser nature to
momentarily triumph over his better nature.
Mr.. Barnard is also the sculptor of THE
Great God-Pan.' which is to be placed in
Central Park New York A number of his
works are in the Champs de Mars, Paris,
THE Maiden and the Pedestal is one of
his beautiful works, and shows the figure
of a young maiden with her arms fun of
roses. with the flowers dropping to the base.
Mr. Barnard deplores the lack of faith in
men, and believes that art must have re-
igion for its cornerstone. He recently re-
fused a commission for ten colossal figures
for the Congressional Library because they
were to be finished within ten months, and
he did not feel he could turn out anything
worthy within that time Mr.. and Mrs.
Barnard left early yesterday morning.

SHOT BY A BARTENDER.
Ernest Lindeburg Wounded in n
BrightwOOd Saloon.

The police are looking for Jacob Ludwig,
a bartender at Rush's saloon, III Bright
wood. Last night he shot Ernest Linde-
burg in the arm and then ran away, saying
that he was going to give himself UP to the
police. Early in the evening Lindeburg
came into the saloon with party of friends
to play pool. After several games had been
played a dispute arose over who had lost
the games and which one of the party
should settle the bill. Lindeburg's friends
claimed that he had lost the games, and
called the bartender to decide who should
settle for them. Ludwig gave it his
opinion that Iindeburg was the debtor.
whereupon the latter became enraged and
ran at Ludwig with a pool cue. The latter
retreated behind the bar, took a pistol out
of one of the drawers and fired at Lnde-
burg, striking him in the arm. At first it
was thought the injury was serious, and
Ludwig put on his coat and said he was go
ing to give himself up but up to a late hour
had not done Lindeburgs injuries
proved to be trifing,

TOWNSHIPS ATTORNEY FEES
The Democratic Mismanagement Ne
cesSitated Them.

Township Trustee Makepeace has the fol-
lowing to say concerning an article in yes
terday's Sentinel as to the expense he
caused Center township by reason of hiring
an attorney:
Had the article stated all the facts no
comment would have been necessary, but, as
it did not, it is certainly fitting and proper
that the public should know the facts and
causes which led to the employment of
salaried attorney under my administration.
The article does not state that on coming
into my office inherited a series of law
suits which compelled me to seek the assist
ance of an attorney. If the editor OF the
Sentinel desires to give the facts, let him go
TO the records, which will show that the
Democratic administration, which preceded
mine paid some $1,000 in attorney fees the
last year Of it's existence, leaving me- as
part of my inheritance, suit for more than
$4,000 for funds which they had improperly
used. This was the dog tax, and the city of
indianapolis sought to hold all the school
funds and specific funds responsible for its
payment This / resisted, and for the pur-
pose of lighting it, hired counsel at the sal
airy of 800 month This was all the money
expended by me for attorney fees, with the
exception of the last trial, when it was
necessary to hire additional counsel for that
particular trial. This case was finished at
Court. and the case was decided
along the lines of our defense. That is TO
say, the payment of the judgment held by
the city must be paid from the tuition fund.
after providing for the expense of teachers,
and mot otherwise When this suit nit was vas
the township ceased TO have an attorney.
Thus, by hiring an attorney on a salary, l
was able to save the township large legal
