BURNS STILL TALKING
OF THAT FISH PURCHASE

If Auditor Buhrer ate that fish l
sent him should think he would need
a DOCTOR" said Sheriff Burns, Satur-
day morning.
The fish in question was the one
which the sheriff picked out OF mess
received for the prisoners dinner
Friday from a Cadillac-sq. fish dealer
who had been recommended by Mr..
Buhrer as being more reasonable ia
his prices than the dealer Sheriff
Burns was wont to patronize. The fish
certainly twas not appetizing to look
upon, but Mr.. Buhrer says he ate 1t
and enjoyed It, He declared that the
fish bore evidence of having been
scalded in boiling water to make 1t
appear stale. This the sheriff in
dignantly denies.
What are you going to do about
your fish In the future?" the sheriff
was asked.
We'll, certainly won't buy any
more fish from that dealer" said he.
II shall continue to buy a good quality
of fish for the prisoners, and IL the
auditors won't pay the bills. why the
people with whom deal will have to
sue them, suppose. The auditors
can't dictate to me where shall buy
my supplies"

American Tobacco Co.. alarmed by
the evidence gathered against 1t by

BILE to forcible dissolution by the fed
