Contractor Ed Welsh called on Councilman Moriurty yesterday and said : "There Li n tiorriblo condition of affairs In our neighborhood and It is something that affects , not only the people living there but every family and person in this city. Wo have made n move today to get relief front the health and city council. "There arc six or eight milkmen living out there who keep from liftecn to twenty cows apiece right on their places , and huvo been them a long time. As a result , thcro nro great heaps of decayed manure , offal , etc. , right there which contin ually sends forth such volumes of stench that wo are compelled to keep every window and door In the house shut all the time , and it is the same with every family lining within half a dozen squares and even farther. There Is also In , on and about these great piles of stuff the putrlfylng carcasses of dead hogs , cows , calves , etc. , many of which are exposed to view. "Two children have just been taken down with u very bad form of typhoid fever and others nro coming down with it. ' 'Hut this Is not the worst thing that I have to tell you. I know , and many other people out there know , that those milkmen and they are all renters when a calf is born they stick a pitchfork in it , throw it out on these recit ing masses to rot , and go right on peddling the milk from the mother of the calf without waiting n day. Wo nro willing to make oath to these statements. I have known several Instances where milk was sold from cows , and was continued to be sold the next day after the birth of tno calf. Any physician will tell you that such milk is nothing more or less than poison. And yet these men have gone right nhcad , mixed this milk with that from the other cows and peddled it out reint- larly all through Omaha. "All wo ask is thut.aeme of the members of the council will go out there and see for them selves. If they do , they will find that I haven't been able to make you understand how bad it is by half. " Surrounded IJy Filth. A Bin reporter visited the dairies In the southwestern part of the city , which wore re ported to be in an unhealthy and filthy con dition. These places nro situated about ono milo duo west from the new county hospital buildIng - Ing , on the bank of the small creek which meanders through'that ' section. The first place Visjted was that kept by Martin Wiig. This man has ilfty-fivo miUm cows. Nearly all of them are good stock , but they were huddled together in two small , closed sheds , caei'about } fifteen feet wide and forty feet long , ijhu stench in these sheds was suffocating , yet > in them the cows wore milked , and the largu can , into which all the milk was poured , stood in ono end , the milk absorbing the nauseating1 smell of the sur roundings. Tho'-Kinallcr cans , into which the milk was afterwHVds poured for distribution to customers , wove also stored in ono end until needed. Th sputo'in which these cans stood was horribly illthv. An attempt had been made to clean it , but the pidy result wlis to smear the droppings of the animals oyor the boards , forming u thick coating which omitted u smell thick enough to cut-with a kfiife. A taste of the milk showed'-thftt'It hud acquired the taste of its surroutiillngs ; _ Oping piiUidcf the shed , uic well was found , " [ t was close up"against the side of ono of the < iheds and was surrounded and banked up with the refuse from the interior of the shed. .The well was'nbout fifteen feet deep and it stood in a basin , the surrounding ground jcing higher and covered with manure , so : liat rain falling anywhere within n radius of ; wenty-five feet of the well would bo drawn to the well through the filth covering the { round and then Jind its way into the well tsolf. A bucketful of water was drawn up md tasted. The taste was sickening and the smell equally so. The milk cans arc washed 11 the water from this well. The proprietor of the place was asked if , ho cattle drank this water. O "Only a little , " ho replied. "They drink nostly from the creek. " A visit was made to the creek. , It was 'ound back of the .sheds and about seventy- five foot from them. These sheds are built upon the edge of a bluff , which is about thirty feet above the creek. The manure and lilth from the sheds ind been dumped over thojjdge of this bluff mtil it had piled up level with the surround- ng ground and extended to within twenty feet of the creek. The liquid from this filth and the water from ruins , which had filtered through the pile , found its way Into the creek , and this was the water the cattle were compelled drink. Returning to the sheds , a cow was seen which was badly diseased. "Do you milk this cow and' put the milk with the rest ! " was asked. "Oh , yes , " was the reply , "her milk is nil Ight. She Is not very well , but that don't iurt the milk any. " Another cow was seen which had calved ibout two houi-o before. The same question was asked. "U'o milk her , but wo don't put the milk in with that from the rest , " was the reply. An attempt had been made to cover over ho pllo of manure with about a foot of dirt. City Physician Gapen , who had uceompa- lied the reporter , directed that the work be stopped and the immure removed , Ho said 10 had warned the people in the ncighbor- lood that the filth must oe removed , but ho. vould not consent to having it covered over , is that would not abate the nuisance. Mr. Wiig expressed a willingness to eorn- ily with all requirements , but was entirely gnorant of what was. necessary to keep his nllk pure and clean. Ho said ho intended to cmovo to a hotter location where he would mvo more room. When asked whether there were any dead inimals buried in the manure pile , he said a cow which had died had been buried hack of ho shed , but ho had directed his man to TO- nove it. as the neighbors had remonstrated igulnst it. "It don't smell anv , " ho explained , "but he neighbors want h out and I always like 0 oblige them. " . - - -\v The next place visited was that owned by 1 man named Anderson. Ho has twenty- hroohcnd of cnttlij 'and ' his shed was some , vhnt larger than , ttfcse of his neighbor , Wlig. The cireui.stjincos ( ( were identically ho same as far us , the manure pllo and sur- oumllngs were owiwrnod. The well from vhlch ho drew thO'water to wash his cans vas inside the bunf'nnd was only a few feet eep. " The water' tnfsted and smelted of the table. The cans were piled up In ono corner of the shed. Tliq tlo were poor , scrawny md Illthy. Thcro/jivjs a well in the yard on ilgh ground whichjg vo pure water , ami An- lorson claimed hwim-U this for washing ills cans and watering Ms stock , but the truces ibout the well la the shed made his story com improbable. , . ' ' " Hr > was warned bvDr. . Gapen that ho must clean up his plare'ior Differ tno consequences. The dairy of Ufiay Klngouner was the lext place visited : Kern was found u largo , oomv barn , but tb'o'hMdo was verv closonnd titling. The floor win filthy , and the stock ooked poor and ragged. Ho obtained water rum a spring in the neighborhood , and it was lour and pure. The Mied In which ho kept Us milk was separate from the barn , but ad- oining U.
