John Fell, German farmer who has
lived here since 1873, butchered two
hogs and made up a quantity of sum-

others are at their homes.
Examination Of the meat used shows
it to be fairly swarming with the
trichina. Some Of the victims when
first taken sick took cathartics freely.
These are up and about and suffered
the least.
Recent reports show that one out Of
every one hundred hogs butchered con-
tains trichina. This meat when eaten
matches out the mature worm in about
three days and the mature female is
capable of 'depositing over 1000 larval
trichina in the blood in twenty-four
hours. These soon find their way to the
muscles, where they set up an inf1am-
matory condition and produce fever
and the other symptoms of the dis
ease.

E. w Knemeyer, the butcher and

but the fire had burned itself out after
eating away on the exterior of the
woodwork of the two buildings. The
ashes indicated that large PASTE
board box. probably filled with paper,
had been thrown in corner where the
buggy shed joined onto the ice house,
and fire had been applied to the paper.
Three horses were sheltered in the
barn and Mr.. Knemeyer is of the
opinion that the scoundFels had placed
the finder at a point some distance
from the stable so that the ice house
and barn would both be destroyed but
sufficient time would have elapsed for
the horses to have escaped or to have
been rescued. He has no idea who
would attempt TO take out their spite
on him in this manner. Some mig
creant also spoiled reel OF hose worth
$50, belonging to Ed Shields. the street
