petty officers berth to which he was
Immediately promoted after the Mer-
rimac incident. He will be soon adj

At La Porte City recently a fierce
battle took place in Spring Creek town
ship, in which members of two fami-
lies were involved and an old feud was
revived. Enos and Grant Harmon
drove to the home of Ed and Floyd
Evans, at midnight and reused them
from bed. Their appearance was fol-
lowed by a terrible fight and revolvers,
knuckles and slung-shots were brought
into requisition. The origin of the
trouble could not be learned, the
stories materially differing. All were
arrested, but the condition of every
one who took part was too serious to
permit of their being put in Jail. The
time of trial depends upon the heali ing
of their wounds.
Des Moines dispatch: Mark Ehle,
the dairyman who some time ago was
arrested on charge of adulterating
his milk by adding to it small quanti-
ties of boracic acid, was discharged
by Justice Halloran, before whom the
preliminary trial was had. Ehle main
tanned that preservative is not an
guilty of an offense. The court, in its
opinion, which, at the request of the
parties to the suit, was reduced to
writing, holds that boracic acid, while
it may be preservative and undou bt-
eddy is not harmful, is an adulteratlon
in that 1t is not one of the ingredients
of milk. This is in line with the Sec
tion prohibiting the use of any and all
coloring matters or ingredients foreign
to the composition of a food article
unless it is plainly stated that the
articles are used when the sales are
made. But the decision dischargirg
the defendant is on another ground,
the court holding that while it was
admitted that boracic acid was used,
it was not shown by the state that q
sale of milk containing it had been
made or that it was sold without the
purchaser knowing the exact contents
of the milk. 1t is probable that the
state will not rest contented with the
decision but will ask the grand jury
to investigate the charges against
Ehle, the decision of magistrate not
being a bar to consideration Of the
case by the grand jury.
