DISEASED cow
CASE in COURT
Judge Cochran Hears TeStl-
mOny Then WithhOIdS
Judgment for a Day
DEFENSE SAYS ANIMAL
WAS BOUGHT FOR ITS HIDE

Edward Duross, a local butcher,
had a hearing in City Court this
morning upon the charge Of having
in his slaughter house a diseased
COW. which was unfit for food. Ac-
cording to the third section of the
city meat ordinance the fact of such a
COW being found upon the premises
of a butcher is sufficient evidence to
convict.
The first witness called in the case
was Meat Inspector George w. Den
ney, who told the court that he went
to Mr.. Duross' slaughter house and
that in the room adjoining the kill
ing floor he found a COW lying down.
She was emaciated and her hoofs
were SO badly rotted that she could
not stand without standing upon her
bones. Mr.. Denney said he then went
on to the killing floor where Frank
Mckinley. who is employed by Mr..
Duross, was killing some calves.
When asked when the diseased COW
was to be killed.
Mckinley told Inspector Denney that
it would not be killed until Mr.. Duross
could see it. When he asked where
the COW came from Mckinley said,
according TO the testimony, he was
/ told that it came from near ShellpOt
and had been driven in by a simple
man. Leaving orders that the COW
/ should not be killed until he was
present next morning Mr.. Denney left
the place.
Next morning, accompanied by Dr..
j. r. Mahaffy, a veterinarian, Mr..
| Denney said he visited the Duross
slaughted house and saw that the
COW was killed and the meat and hide
destroyed.
DR.. Mahaffy said the COW was suf-
fering from gangrene as a result OF
a mild attack Of anthrax from which
it had recovered. There was no evi-
dence of anthrax, the doctor said. but
that the meat of the COW was fevered
and unfit as food. One foot was sc
badly decomposed that the bonet
were only held together by lega,
ments. The hoofs were nearly all Off
DR.. Mahaify said he had seen th'
COW before, upon the place Of Georgl
Blackburn at Hare's Corner.
Upon cross<examination DR.. Ma.
haffy said that there was nothinf
about the cows condition to preven
the purchase of her for her hide.
DR.. H. p Ewes said that he alsC
knew the history of the case and thaf
the meat of the COW was unfit fol
food.

Montague also testified to seeing tn,

STORM AGAIN
HITS HARD
Lightning Bolts Hit in Two
Places While Wind Rips
Up Trees
WOMAN HAS CLOSE
CALL ON CITY STREET

One of the most severe electrical and
wind storms which has struck this sec
ton lately was that of yesterday af-
ternoon. The wind tore limbs from
shade trees and in some instances up
rooted them The lightning was ex-
ceptionally sharp. So far no deaths
have been reported but several per-
sons were slightly shocked.
One of the most effective demon
strations of what lightning can do, was
illustrated upon a large wild cherry
tree in the lane of the residence of
Lewis Petitedemange, just above
Montrose, in Brandywine hundred, on
the property owned by Joseph Guest.
The bolt literally reduced the tree 10
fragments. Some of the pieces of the
tree were thrown 200 yards. The light
ming not only split the tree into four
parts, but it upr oted it, making a
large hole in the ground where the
bolt entered and digging a six-inch
trench for a distance of twelve fest,
made it's exit.
The storm was about over when the
tree was struck. The rain had ceased
falling Mr.. Guest passed under the
tree about five minutes before. A small
son of J. b. Walker also had just pass
ed the spot and gone to his home
There was a binding flash, and a deaf
ening crash, which startled those liv-
ing near the tree but did not shock
them The same bolt set fire to a
meter on the telephone in the rear OF
the residence of j. e. Walker, whose
home is a few hundred feet from where
the tree stood. The same bolt also
burnt out a Darby car which was pass.

startled but did not notice the de-

The main office of the American

only damage done was the destruction
