Warden, Wooldridge, of the Mis- souri state penitentiary, refused Sat- urday afternoon to receive a carload of beef from the Cudahy Packing company, because the meat wassour and the entire lot was shipped back to the company. The warden stated that the sour beef was due to the dilapidated condition of the car in which it was shipped. The car was old and the temperature could not be kept below 50 degrees above zero. The warden stated also that a car of heef'in a similar condition was deliy- ered at the penitentiary last week and was refused and sent back tothe company. It was not bad meat that caused some of the prisoners to re- volt, but it was caused by an extra task put on them in one of the shoe shops.—Warrensburg Journal-Demo- erat. Rs: Ever Held in Butler.
