FERTILIZER COMPANY FINED.
Its Plant Near Princeton Held to He a
Public Nuisance.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PRINCETON, Ind, Oct 13.-The Acme
Fertilizer Company, of this city, has been
found guilty i'm the Circuit Court here of
maintaining a public nuisance and fined 500
and costs. While no injunction was issued
against the company, it amounts to pratt
caly the same. the company cannot con-
tinue TO operate and pay such fines as
would follow after this decision. An appeal
Will be taken. The Acme Company has a
tankage works which consumes or converts
into fertilizer dead animal matter. 1t has
q yearly contract with the city for dispos-
ing of its animal dead. Over year ago a
small plant was established two miles
northwest of the city. but residents of that
neighborhood complained Of the odor COM
ing from the plant, and ii was forced to
close at considerable loss TO the stock
holders. Then q tract of land was bought
east of the city, and at a heavy cost an i'm
proved system, identical with those being
operated at numerous cities, was installed.
Though the buildings were located some
distance from the public roads, 1t was but
a short time until complaint was made by
farmers who had to pass that way. They
said the odor coming from the tankage
works was almost unbearable, a menace to
health and a nuisance. Others held that
there was nothing in any way Objectionable
about the plant.

Veterinarian VIII Investigate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind. Oct. 13.-The state
veterinarian is to be called to investigate
the new disease which wiped out a herd Of
thirty-five hogs for DR.. Volney Hunt with
in few hours on Sunday. A farmer near
Daleville lost fifty head of hogs the same
way yesterday and several swine have died
in the south part OF the county. AS yet
no one has been able to diagnose the dis
ease. Ii seems to be something new that
has attacked the porkers. Ordinarily, a
hog dies within five hours after being
taken with the disease but in some cases
does not live that long. One popularity
of the disease is that the animals left
shoulder swells and becomes as hard as
stone.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Oct. 13.-With
oil flowing over the derrick at one well and
another making better than 300 barrels a
day oil men believe that the lake of oil that
is believed to exist somewhere in the Indi-
ana field has been found at last. These re-
markable oil wells belong to the Phoenix
Oil Company of this city and are located on
the Joseph Futrell farm in Washington
township. One is the No. we'll and the
other Is the No. g. which was shot to-day
The No. we'll has been pumping twenty
two days and has produced twenty-five
tank of oil, or $500 barrels, which. at the
present price OF $1.21 barrel, is itself a
small fortune. Ever since the No. well
has been shot ii has thrown a solid stream
above the derrick. 1t is thought it will be
even better than the No. 2.
