NEAT COMPANY
MUST ANSWER IN
DISTRICT court
Technicalities Overcome and
Central Dressed Meat
Company Will Be Brought
to Trial Monday.

The protests, demurrers and techni-
calities of the Central Dressed Meat
company to gain time before appearing
in court to answer the indictments
against it have all been overruled and
the case has been SCI for 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning in the district court
Nearly two months ago the Ada
county grand jury returned two in
dictments against the company, one
charging failure to tank offal and the
other alleging general unsanitary con-
ditions around the slaughter house.
Ever since that time, Claude Gibson, as
attorney for the company, has been
making an effort to quash the summons
issued by the court and has presented
two demurrers that have held the case
in court and have delayed the arraign-
ment of the corporation. or its officers.
In pleading the quashing of the sum-
mons. the attorney argued that the pa
pers were not only unauthorized as a
matter of law, but that they were not
directed to the sheriff of the county
as they should have been, under his
theory. The company itself was sum
1noned to appear in court instead of
having the sheriff instructed to bring
the officers of the corporation before
the court He declared that If a sum-
mons was issued at all that it should
be issued under the rules Of the civil
cases, that if the county attorney adopt
ed civil procedure in part. he should
adopt it altogether and give the COM
pany the full 20 days in which to an
swer
r. c. Coffin, deputy prosecuting at
torney,r was on his feet in an instant
with declaration that the argument
and demurrer as whole was matter
that was in contempt of court, that
Judge Davis had held on precisely tho
same points the last time that he over
ruled the demurrer of the company. and
that the corporation was bringing be-
fore the court tie same questions twice
on the same legal grounds.
He said that he was tired of the delay
that the company was enforcing, that
he wanted to get to trial with the cases

at once, and that II It would simplify
matters any ana eliminate any further
delay he would immediately ask for
bench warrant for the president Of the
company and that he be hauled into
court at once to answer the charges
against the company. He also asked
that the court enter plea of not guilty
in the case and begin the trial at once.
Both motions were overruled. although
the court ordered the company to be
ready to stand arraignment Monday
morning at 10 o'clock.
In giving his instructions to the COM
pany the court held that the statutes
considered even two days reasonable
amount of time, that further delay was
useless, that 1t is not necessary to give
20 days or any other time more than
one day, and that 1t is the duty OF the
company to come into court at once.
