FIRST VICTIMS OF THE STATE
PURE FOOD LAW.
Butter Of Short Weight and Improper

Local Grocery circles.

Butter at So per pound. This was
about the price paid by three local
grocers this morning in police court
down a verdict OF So and costs each for
the misdemeanor of selling butter not
bearing the stamp of Its makers as
we'll as its weight in ounces.
/ Police court resembled a grocers
convention this morning, the spec
tators including a majority of those en-
gagged in that line of business, each
expectantly awaiting the arraignment
of three of their brother grocers who
had fallen victims to the new state
pure food law in regard to butter.
F. r. Watkins, j. r Condor and G..
A. Nicholas were the luckless individ-
uals to first realize the majesty of the
new law and they were charged with
a misdemeanor. Each pleaded guilty
to the charge. whereupon County At.
torney Jensen asked that lenicncy be
shown the defendants inasmuch as the
law was a new one and possibly not
fully comprehended as yet.
The court reviewed the statutes and
then imposed a fine of So and costs in
each case. stating that it was a nom
inal fine but would serve TO show that
the pure food commission means busi-
ness" in Its crusade against short
weights. improperly labeled foodstuffs.
etc Hereafter butter must bear a
wrapper with the name of the maker
thereon; also the weight. and if the
latter is found to be untrue. the source
of the fraud can and will be traced un-
der the new law
The grocers who were fined this
morning were innocent of any intent
at wrong-doing They simply were
imposed upon b. those from whom
they bought butter

Elias Harvey Gardner Suicides.

The inhabitants of Salem and Span
ish Fork were shocked Wednesday fore
noon to learn that Lite Gardner, who
was we'll known in both towns. had
committeN suicide early in the morning
by the striknine route.
Mr.. Gardner was thought, by all
who knew him, to be the last man to
contemplate any such an act, but of
late he had been worrying great deal
about a building he is putting up at
Salem, as he claimed everything he
bought to build with cost two prices.
1t was thought by many that he was
losing his mind; he was unable to sleep
at night and did not appear to be him
self at all.
Wednesday morning he rose from
his bed much earlier than usual and
when other members of the family got
up they found Mr.. Gardner lying near
the well crying for water. They soon
realized he had taken poison and inn
mediately summoned medical aid, but
too late, the poison had done it's work.
He was a progressive citizen having
accumulated goodly amount of this
worlds property. Mr.. Gardner lived
on the Salem road. He leaves wife
and five children to mourn his death.
1t is thought the funeral services
will be held at the Salem Meeting house
Friday afternoon.
