MILK MUST BE KEPT PURE.
Law Against AduIteration Upheld by
the Supreme Court.

Des Moines, Dec 24.-Fifty-six
opinions, the largest number ever
handed down in single day by the
supreme court, were filed Saturday.
Among these was an important deci-
sion in the case of the state of Iowa,
appellant, VS.. B. F. Schlenker, appellee.
This was an appeal from the Polk
county district court and decision
of Judge C. A. Bishop in case in
which the defendant, Des Moines
milk dealer, was accused of the crime
of selling milk adulterated with boz
racic acid.
The decision of the supreme court,
written by Judge Deemer, was com
plete victory for the state and up
holding of the constitutionality of the,
statute In the district court the de-
PENDANTS motion in arrest of the
judgment, based on the proposition
the statute was and is unconstitution-

The state appealed. This will be made
the basis for proceedings against sew
eral milk dealers who are thought to
be guilty of using acids to preserve
their milk.

BILLINGS GETS THIRTY DAYS.
Will Likely Be Held to the Grand Jury
on a Serious Charge.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
John Billings was the name given by
the stranger who is charged with
making an attempt on the life of Fred
Fleming. at 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon. He claimed that he was drunk,
and that so far as he knew he did not
make any such attempt He was given
80 days in Jail and the judge promised
him that he would have chance later
in the day to show why he should not
be held to the grand jury
1t was found last night that Fleming
suffered knife wound in the region
of the heart. 1t was a small one and
it was overlooked by DR.. Bannister in
the hasty examination made shortly
after the young man was found in a
fainting condition near the Ballingall
house corner. The blade passed thru
the lapel of Flemings heavy overcoat,
thru his undercoat, vest, sweater, and
shirts, and but for these Instructions
the young man would have been IA
tally wounded.
Fleming said that he and Billings
ate lunch at the Main street counter
and that they walked into the street;
| that Billings was drunk and that a po-
| liceman told him (Fleming) that he
should take his friends omewhere else
| or have him arrested. Fleming said
| that while he was no friend of Bill.
ings', having never seen him prior to
| the meeting at the lunch counter, he
| quietly told him what the officer said
and that Billings then uttered a few
words of profanity and made rush at
him with an uplifted hand, striking
him on the left side, just above the
heart
He said that he did not know for a
time that he had been stabbed and
that it was not until he was about tc
faint that he realized his condition
The young man seems to suffer q
great deal from the wound and it is
feared that he may yet experience
trouble from blood poisoning.
