jury after holding thorough inquest
and post norton over the body of Geo

covered several acres, was practically

vestigating commission to-day. He said
that he had made the contracts with Mel

inspection of refrigerated beef in Porto
Rico. He had been in the commissary de-
partment for fifteen years, and said that
the quality of fresh beef issued at Camp
Thomas was equal to any he had ever
seen in the army.
At Porto Rico he said he had inspected
one vessel of refrigerated beef at Arroyo
and that the beef was the wonder and
admiration of all the natives and foreign
residents, none of whom had ever seen
such good beef. The native cattle in Por-
to Rico he said, were infinitely inferior TO
the American refrigerated beef.
