ARE EATING HORSE FLESH.
The Discoveries We're Made by
Meat Dealers of the City.

Smith & Price, proprietors Of
the City Meat market, have gath
cred enough facts to convince
them that horse meat is being re-
tailed and wholesaled in the city
and outlying camps.
The gentlemen above mentioned
have no desire to in any way in
terfere with the sale of horse
meat in this locality, but they
think that as they are in possession
of the facts, the general public is
entitled to know them.
This industry is being conduct
ed by well known and prominent
individuals of the town, whose
names at this time will be with
held.
That this meat is being used by
some of the restaurants cannot be
questioned, but the proprietors of
the same are perfectly innocent of
the kind and character of the meat
they are using.
On last Friday one of the es-
adjustments in which these peo-
pie are interested at williamsburg
purchased from this horse CON
cern, carcass of horse meat and
some of it can now be seen at the
City Meat market, of this city.
They have every reason to sup
pose that this meat is being sold
generally from retail wagons in
this locality and in fairness to the
community the above statement is
made.
