FRAUD DISCOVERED
by Chicago Health Department in
supply Of Christmas Pigs-Many
Diseased carcasses.

Chicago, Dec. pa shocking fraud
which probably has been perpetrated
in other cities than Chicago on puF-
chasers Of Christmas supplies. has
Just been unearthed by the health. de-
partment, and now the inspectors here
are wondering whether the farmer. In
this part of the west is as "unsophis-
tieatedy as the comic papers would
make him appear. incidentally they
are tonchy on the subject of pig
the sayory kind that is served on a
platter with an. apple in its mouth and
cfanberries In Its eyes. A few days
ago the inspectors examined the car
casses of twenty-five little pigs that
had been shipped to Chicago to meet
the demand OF Christmas appetites. It
proved that every one of the carcass
es was diseased and that many of the
pigs had probably died of their all
mefts before the slaughter took
place. Upon this the investigators did
some hurry-up investigating and dis
covered that large number of farm
ers around Chicago have made 1t
practice for some years TO select their
sick pigs. and Just as IT appears they
are about to die. kill and ship them to
Chicago for holiday consumption.
Since then thei Inspectors have watch
ed the railroad stations and have
working overtime guarding Chicago
against further inroads OF the deadly
pofkers.

BOOBIES SECOND KILLING
He Killed George Ives Eighteen Years
Ago, Almost on Same Date.

The Wednesday morning tragedy in
which Herman Boche killed Frank Jar
mer, occurred within eight days of
the anniversary of another tragedy in
which Herman Boche killed another
Madison county man. George Ives of
Tilden was the victim in that affair.
His head was split open with an axe
in Boche's hands and he died day
later. He was struck Tuesday morn
ing, April 23, 1889, and died the next
day. Boche was acquitted in court,
self defense being his plea,
Ives and his brother-inlaw, Lew w.
Reckard, were digging scions from
along the bank of the Elkhorn river
on Boche's farm. Herman Boche and
William Boche approached, William
carrying a revolver and Herman an
axe. Words followed. 1t was said
that William Boche advanced upon
Reckard with his gun and Ives, seeing
danger, struck William Boche with
the butt-end of target rife. Then
Herman Boche struck Ives on the head
with his axe, crushing the skull and
telling the victim like an OK. Herman
Boche declared that he struck to pre-.
vent Ives from assaulting his brother
William, a second time. The two b.
ches at that time gave themselves up
to the sheriff and were held under
$4,000 bonds.
Herman Boche was defended in his
trial by former United States Senator
William V. Allen and his partner, the
late Congressman John S. Robinson
1t was pleaded that Ives refused to
leave the premises and became abusive
and that his assault upon William 30
che was unnecessary
1t is said that Senator Allen yet to-
day has the axe with which Boche
killed Ives.

NO TRACE OF BOCHE YET
Slayer of Frank farmer is Still at
Large; No CleW Found.

GdI W. VIC" TOunu.
During the early part of the after
noon Sheriff j. j. Clements and his
party returned from a fIuitless search
for Boche in the vicinity of his home
southeast of Norfolk A careful search
and inquiry carried on during the
morning yielded no results and the
sheriff and local officers returned to
Norfolk, Stating that they had found
no clue that would throw light on
Boche's whereabouts since he had
left the scene of the tragedy early in
the morning.
During the afternoon a complaint
charging Herman Boche with the'mur-
der of Frank farmer was drawn up by
County Attorney Jack Koenigstein.
The complaint, which is divided into
two counts, would afford an opportu-
nifty to prosecute Boche on the charg-
es of second degree murder and man
slaughter. Second degree murder car
ries nenalty of not less than ten
years Imprisonment, manslaughter not
more than ten years Imprisonment and
not less than one year. When a muir
der is committed without premedita-
ton or malice it falls under the head
of manslaughter. County Attorney
Koenigstein stated that from the
known facts Boche could not be pros
ecuted for murder in the first degree.
Before leaving late in the afternoon
for a second visit to the neighborhood
of the Boche home Sheriff Clements
put himself in communication with
Ineighboring officials The sheriff of
Stanton county had been notified by
the local police as soon as informa-
ton of the crime was received. Up
