M. WOODCOCK, City Milk Inspector, As an actual evidence of the poisoning going on in the city, Inspec tor Woodeock tells The Star the following story of a case where the cul prit wax caught in the act and ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE WAS IN THE PRACTICE OF POURING FORMALDEHYDE IN THE MILK jAS HE DELIVERED IT AT THE DOORS OF HIS CUSTOMERS. According to the story told by the inspector, he was called to make gation on a complaint from West Seattle. Woodeock said mily complaining were satisfied that the milk sold them was adulterated. Woodeock determined to catoh the man in the act, and “lay” for him. The complaint was made not a moment too soon. “Ifthe people had used the milk thet day they would have died. As the milkman approached the house | ww him take @ little bottle out from under the seat and empty the contents into a can of milk. He did not measure the poison, but poured in the entise amount, without a moment's hesitation. When | surprised him, the man acknowledged lhe wae'in the habit of adulterating the milk In that manner, and had [been deing se for » long time p: it. When asked the reason for his of poisoning the milk, he replied: ‘I SAVE TWO DOLLARS A fly PRESERVING MY MILK IN THIS FASHION,’ “ man's name is Garland, and he was a driver for the Emerald dairy, | THERE ARE MANY MORE OF THE SAME SORT ABROAD TODAY. “The man was arrested and tried before Judge George, who fined hal ra ne “THERE was ENOUGH FORMALDEHYDE IN THAT ONE CAN ars, |OF ME HAVE KILLED THE ENTIRE FAMILY AND PROVE INSTANT GEATH TO ONE WHO DRANK IT. “SG where a murder was narrowly averted—and no one knows how many er deaths had already been accomplished, the culprit is sub- jected to the ¢ punishment of paying out 25 of the dollars he had saved through feeding poison to his customers. “ONE MORE DAY AND THE FAMILY WOULD HAVE BEEN | DEAD, ANDO THE MILKMAN WOULD STILL HAVE HIS $25 BLOOD MONEY.” i ssion again Nov. 1, her run | Che Gnderwriters yesterday sscet being taken in the by the t he dam amer Ex-| steamer : way Inland t ween $ib.-| CHICAG b, Be Ex-Benate | 000 and $29,000, repair of} Farwell die dearly this morning, at his the wh ¢ Moran's, | b Lake ¥ He was ill twe I be opened t She wit! go! years prior to hie death ity of the members of the mate eT requires (board, which is verted with the pow Beatgte trans: jer to make the selection, have ex pressed personal preference for the nite mentioned | Th club dectares that taxes are asonable In the district, and that various gites may be secured there d very reasonable figures, Masked Bandits Stop Burlington Train and Loot Express Com- Another Catastrophe Threatens the Ill-Fated Town of Frank (Special to The Star.)
