GetsViolators
at Rapid City

An attempt by two men from Me-
braska to get the better of a state
pure food Inspector at Rapid City
last Thursday resulted in the pay
ment of a fifty dollar fine by each
man.
Frank Coates, of Gordon, Neb.,
had shipped into Rapid City a car
Inspector w. M. Cox, who lives in
Rapid City, was waiting for train
there last Monday morning he
learned that the car had just arrived
and walked over to it to have look
at the potatoes. Upon emptying one
sack he found a large number of
dry rots and thereupon examined a
few more sacks and found that the
potatoes were in pretty bad condi-
ton. The inspector then required
the entire car to be sorted, and the
following day learned that the own
er was paying two of the sorters in
the rejected rotten potatoes after he
had been warned not to sell the re-
jects. Upon learning this Cox pro-
ceeded to the office of the states
attorney and filed complaint against
Coatesand his agent Clarence Rob-
srts charging them with selling
adulterated food Both at first en-
tered pleas Of not guilty but after
consulting their attorneys their
pleas were changed to guilty and
paid fines as indicated above.
The sorting was completed ana
the edible potatoes were released
to the owner. twenty per cent of the
entire car having been sorted out
as rotten and unfit for food. The
owner of the potatoes held Nebras-
ka inspection certificate dated Feb.
10 which classified them as one per
cent decayed, no understood and one
AMI one-half Pr cent other defects.
Other recent prosecutions by in
spectors Of the state food and drug
department include Fairview meat
dealer who paid fine and costs
of $26.95 on account of an insani-
tary mrket; bottling works in
Gregory which paid fines on two
complaints alleging the sale of soft
drinks containing saccharine; Tho
