Diseased Chickens Condemned

Chief Market Inspector Witzemann yes
terday afternoon condemned 102 chickens
and four turkeys in a carload which came
from Omaha. Nebr. The fowl were In a
diseased condition and were sent to the
fertilizing works. Similar action was
taken with sixteen OF the chickens that
were trampled to death. The carload was
consigned TO II. Hickman of 400 Davis
street The dead chickens were being put
in u sack to be sent to the store when
WitZemann appeared upon the scene
Inspector WitZemann has expressed his
intention OF condemning all turkeys or
chickens whose throats are not slit in the
markets preparatory to dressing them for
sale. Some dealers, he says, are in the
habit OF dashing the turkeys head against
the wall, thus breaking its neck The law
compels Witzemann to condemn a cow
which breaks its neck, and he proposes to
act similarly in the case OF fowl.
