DISEASED MEAT.
Some That Was Served to Yolo
Ranch Hands.


A. B. Webster yesterday related to a
Record Union reporter the following
| incident:
About three weeks ago I was at
work on a ranch in Yolo County, below
Washington. One evening l was silt
| ting with some other men on a fence,
| When We heard over in the corral a COW
coughing badly / said something is
the matter, and we started to go to
the place. Then we noticed the other
cows chasing this one around. I sent
one of the boys to call the foreman
When we got to the place the COW was
down on her side and apparently chok-
ing. She was badly bloated. Pres
emily the foreman came and said the
cow was as good as dead, and he sent
for the proprietor. When the latter
got there the COW was dead. He looked
at her and said, Cut her throat. You
boys have been wanting fresh meat.
now you can have all you want. We
will eat her.
| Half an hour after the animal was
dead they cut her throat and she was
skinned and dressed Some of the meat
from the carcass was served to us next
morning, and what did not spoil was
picked. That COW was bloated the
night before she died A veterinary q
think it Was DR.. Mcgowan though 1
do not know him), said the COW would
die, and SO told Farris. Some of the
boys next day told the veterinary the
COW was dead, and the doctor replied
That was what I expected The COW
had been bloated for several days
]. H. Allen says he had to go to the
Farris ranch to do some work after
the circumstance that Webster related,
| and while there some of the meat was
! set before him to eat. II was black
and sour He ate a little, but could
stomach no more The cook told AL
| len part of the carcass had spoiled, but
| that they got a barrel of corned beef
| out of it.
| Allen resolved to have the case in
vestigated, and went to Dr. Mathews,
Secretary of the State Board of Health,
and complained. He was referred to
the Yolo Health Officer, DR.. Loughead.
Webster had told him (Allen) about the
death of the COW before he went to
work there. and after what he saw and
heard from the cook he thought the
matter should be Investigated. He
wrote to Loughead at Woodland and
| received in reply letter under date
of May 10th, saying the matter had
been referred to James Strader, the
Township Inspector, or Health Officer,
at Washington, to investigate.
Allen said that three mem at the
ranch told him that ,Websters story
was true about the COW, and about is
suing it as food to the men.

TOO SLIPPERY.
The Bicycle Races Postponed for
One Week.

There were no bicycle races at Agri-
cultural Park yesterday, for the reason
that bicycles don't run well on wet
and slippery ground
Just before the hour set for the open
ing event rain began to fall. bolts os
lightning shot from the clouds in the
east and there were several peals of
thunder. For awhile it looked as if
there would be quite a storm, and there
probably was along the foothiu region.
1t did not rain much here, but there
was enough to make the track slippery.
and the management announced that
the races would be postponed one week.
Those who had bought tickets were
given checks emitting them to admis-
sion to the races next Sunday.
On that date Hirsch of Sacramento
and Barnes of Stockton will have a
teh-mlle race to settle the question as
to which is the speedier for ten miles.
After several days of ''jawing" thew
finally came to an agreement yester-
DAY and signed it on paper. They will
ride ten miles over the Agriculture |
Park track, with pacemakers.
