Willow Lakes Man
Sold Boiled Eggs

For several "ceeks the WATERFOWL
Produce 'companJ has been finding
boiled eggs in it's consignments OF
eggs from outside customers.
The boiled eggs were detected in
the Gambling department. At first
there was not much thought about the
matter and the eggs were consigned
to the barrel which goes to the duTEp
graund, but the other day when Man
ager Buck found fifteen dozen boiled
eggs in one consignment from Willow
Lakes he became somewhat warm in
the region of the collar and names
He hired a car and drove to Willow
Lakes in search Of the party who had
sold the boiled eggs to the Willow
Lakes merchant, who had shipped
them to Watertown.
He found that the eggs came from
a man who owned a very choice breed
of chickens, and fearing that some
one might use the eggs for Matching
purposes, he said he "boiled them
just a little so they would not be
fertile"
After receiving a good lecture from
Mr.. Buck on violating the state law
in this regard, he promised to never
do it again and it is understood that
on the payment of Mr.. Bucks ex-
penses on the trip he was let off with
out prosecution.
Some person has also been selling
eggs with a small pin hole in the end
to country merchants, who in turn
have shipped them to the Waterfowl
Produce company. This party will
place a pin hole in just one too many
feggs some day and he will get tangled
up in the meshes Of the law of the
great state of South Dakota.
