against the marketing Of lumpy jaw
cattle.

were condemned To DO used as fertilizer

"The remaining sixty-nlne were nj.

THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO.
'The excuse given was that lumpy
jaw does not affect the whole carcass,
and the marketing was allowed, after
the infected parts were cut away. These
cattle are not to be shipped away, but
will be sold In this city. Under the
law Mr.. Murray could do nothing but
protest, and his protests were disre-
