afternoon and were escorted by a commit
tee of citizens over the city and to winona,

possible to take care of from 10000 to 1900
old soldiers during the encampment. The
council of administration was well pleased
with the outlook, and the members are
certain that the city and park are better
prepared to care for the encampment than
any other city in the State, excepting In
dianapOlis. there being accommodations In
the hotels for at least 1900 people without
counting the fifty or more large rooming
houses at Win0na and the private resi-
be entertained. On Tuesday evening the

PENDANT 1t is alleged that their plants at
Yorktown and Muncie were responsible for
the pollution of White river recently.
AT Yorktown the prosecutor found that
the floodgate Of one of the settling ponds
had been raised enough to permit the rush
OF water to the river. The prosecutor was
shown every courtesy by the management,
but he detected for himself what he re-
garded as unmistakable evidence that the
gates had been raised. He asked to be
shown the fioodgates, and this was accorded
him with evident reluctance. He himself
saw the refuse from the mill sweeping un-
der the gate from the pond. Water marks
along the edge of the pond showed where
the water had stood before the gates
were raised. Prosecutor Vestal Sc
cured evidence that the gates OF
the factories in Yorktown and Muncie had
been raised at the same hour. A large
number OF witnesses were secured and
their names taken, who Were eyewitnesses
to the refuse flowing into the river from
the plants mentioned. The United Box and
Paper Company is in 10 manner identified
with the management of the plant in this
city. The cases against the managemt MT
OF the Yorktown and Muncie plants will
be vigorously prosecuted. The farmers
associations of two counties will assist
The cases are expected to be filed within
the next few days.

innocent Of any wrong intent. Since CONS
