Farmer Fined for Bad Eggs.
Madison , Neb. , July 13. Special to
The News : The oft repeated state
ment that the pure food law Is a joke
was disproved in one instance , at
least , in this city yesterday , and 1
should be a warning to all future of
fenders. Otto Llndstadt , residing sev
eral miles west of Madison , brought
ten dozen eggs to the Madison Butter
and Egg store , which , when candled
by the proprietor , Jesse Llvingliouse
were rejected as Impure and set aside
to be disposed of by Mr. Llndstadt as
he saw fit. It so happened , however
that Deputy Food Inspector Ivan Me-
Killip of Central City , dropped In be
fore Lindstadt was advised that his
eggs were unsalable , and as is his
custom , he grabbed the first box in
sight , which happened to be LInd-
stadt's eggs , and proceeded to candle
them , after which he informed Mr.
Livinghouse that they were rotten 1
and inquired rather critically If he did
not know that the eggs in question
were unsalable , whereupon Mr. Liv
inghouse Informed the Inspector that
they had been candled , rejected and
would be turned over to the owner
. when ho returned.
'
The Inspector , being inclined to dis
credit the explanation given , hung
' around until Llndstadt returned and
'
was told to take his eggs as they were
unsalable. Lindstadt , after some
words , took his eggs , Insisting that
they were good and if the butter and
3
egg merchant did not want them he
would take them back home and eat
them himself. Later In the day LInd
stadt offered to dispose of his box ol >
eggs to Mat. Hennes , another buttei
and egg merchant. Inspector McKH
lip was present and , not being recog
nlzed by Llndstadt , stepped up and
purchased the eggs , paying the mar
ket price for same and taking a re
celpt therefor , nnd immediately aftei
the transaction he swore out a war
1 rant for the arrest of Llndstadt , whe
was tried before County Judge Bates !
