B. {. Forbes, who was fined in
police court yesterday morning, was
defendant in two cases. One was
for exposing and offering for sale
impure and spoiled meat, alleged to
have been purchased from the Santa
Fe Railway Company, and the other
was for permitting his meat market
to be in an unSanitary condition.
In the first case he was acquitted,
the mayor dism;ssing that case after
the city's evidence had been heard.
In the other case the defendant
pleaded guilty to allowing his meat
market to be in an unsanitary CON
dition and paid the fine OF $40. He
said today he had been absent from
his shop because OF illness and that
his employees had allowed it to be-
come dirty. He said he did not be-
grudge the $40, for he believed that
it caused the use OF lye, soap and
water in many other meat markets.
