The presence of animal matter in the
screen at the Smith, Whiteomb & Cook
dam in North Barre yesterday prompted
the police and the local board of health
to make an investigation, with the re-
suit that Pietro Sormani was asked to
confer with the authorities to-day II
was alleged that the animal matter came
from cows freshly slaughtered and in
their investigation, the police found a
barn near North Main street where a
recently butehered COW was hanging.
The barn is, located near the banks of
Gunner brook and ii was suspected that
the slaughtering might have taken place
in the neighborhood There are legal re-
strictions against butchering within a
certain radius of dwelling house, but
Mr. Sormani, when asked for explana.
ton, stated that the COW which the po-
lice saw was purchased and killed on the
Plainfeld road, and offered to furnish
proof. Work ON the screen at the foun-
dry is still under way.
