ttenal CI large by Vermont
rand Jury.
Sensational charges were made
Wednesday in ten Indictments which
were returned by the Chittenden coun
ty, Vermont, grand Jury In connection
with the sale of diseased cattle in
the state and In the sale of whlen, ac
cording to the indlctmentH, two for
mer members of the state cattle com
mission participated with a full
knowledge that such cattle would be
used for food purposes. Four of the
Indictments are against the Consol
idated Rendering company, and they
contain four hundred counts. Four
additional Indictments are against L.
E. Brlghrfm, manager of tho Burling
ton Rendering company. This com
pany is controlled by tho Consolidated
company, and the Indictments against
Brlgham, which also contain 400
counts, are identlcul with those re
turned against the Consolidated com
pany. The most sensational disclosures
were made in the indictments which
were returned against Dr. F. A. Rich,
a veterinary surgeon of Burlington,
and Victor I Spear, of Randolph,
both both of whom were members of
the state cattle commission. Spear's
term expired about ore year ago and
he was not reappointed. RIcIv was
removed from the commission by Gov.
Bell Just before the latter retired from
office.
The Indictments against the Consol
idated company and Brlgham charge
the sale of diseased meat In the Btato
and also the shipment of such dis
eased met out of the state for the pur
pose of putting It on sale. ,
Rich and Spear are charged with
selling -diseased beef which they had
previously condemned to the render
ing companies.
All of the defendants furnished
bonds for their appearance at tha
March term of the Chittenden county
court.
Before the grand Jury reported at
the morning session of the court Judge
Rowell imposed a fine of $3,000 on
the Consolidated Rendering company
tor its failure to produce before the
grand Jury certain papers and mem
oranda which had been demanded.
'The defendant in contesting tha
charge of contempt of court proceed
ings maintained that the papers had
been destroyed prior to the investiga
tion. Judge Rowell overruled the mo
tion to dismiss and then Imposed the
fine.
In explanation of his failure to
make the fine the maximum allowable
under the statutes, the judge stated
that in fixing the penalty he had in
mind the fact that there are further
means of punishing the company. It
was learned later that the Vermont
law provides that a company found
guilty of the charges which are pend
ing against the Consolidated com
pany may be permanently prohobited
from doing business in the state.

ing to Webster and paying for a team
he had purchased and to purchase an
other team to take with him on a con
templated Journey to his homestead In
tho region between the Missouri river
and the Black Hills.
It has ben learned that Hanson call
ed at the home of the man to whom
he owed the money for the team, but

the eccentric recluse of Omaha, who
died in Los Angeles, Cul., last Feb

wealthy.
One-half of his fortune Is given to
various charitable and religious Insti
tutions' ktid ""trie rest to his children,
grandchildren and other heirs. His
eldest daughter. Mrs. Mary C. Lane,

be accepted less than the amount of
