'. - , THE EIBTE-FLACE OF C0STA3I0I Twh Fork Chops on Which is P.sad thi Awful Sectanoa of Duath Esfere ths Grsud Jury. The grand jury Is today putting the " " , scalpel iuto one of the most odoriferous cases to which their attention has yet been called. Indeed there is enough of the fetid mist aud desolating vapor in the case to drivo an invalid luto the sinister domains of leperdom for fresh air and vitality. The offense etulnatet from the threshold of tho sanitary inspector in-spector and is already creating a sen eatioti in hygienic circles that must lead to trouble. When Showell who guides the sanitarial ship for the city of Salt Lake induced the board of aldermen to ship its oil al and put the seat of pestilence at Biugham he promised prom-ised that th olfuetoties should Le forever for-ever relieved of the insufferable stench that has suffused alley and backyard ever since bis extravagant administration administra-tion was begun. Ho promised that the retired roadster, the meekeved I milcher that has outlived utility, the i grunting boar that turned up its toei before tho butchor tapped its life blood, should all go to a fertilizing furnace. Ho assured the susceptible sires that the aromatic recollections should be wiped out iu the denser fumes of tbo furnace, but he did not guarantee that they should not return to haunt tbe man who eats three meals a day. Some days ago thedenizona of Bingham ' began to gag. A nausea wss banging cloml-liko over tbe fair camp. Ihe ; winds Hint had brought blushes to the virgin's cheek and elixir to the rnsrged miner was suddenly loaded with an ellluvium that carried deadly desolation deso-lation iu its awful trail. The putrefactive pu-trefactive elonds bung like a death dealing firmament over thorn. It was dense enough to chop into cubes. Jt was rent by a tremendous bowl a howl in comparison with which the thunder of a cannon would bave beea tho acme ot sepulchral silence. The smelliug committee buckled on its girdlo and tbe search for pestilence began. They tracul it to an enclosure on Showell's ranch. Showell now repudiates re-pudiates ownership. Perhaps the bid is not exalted enough to induce biru to confess ownership, He said to a reporter re-porter this morning that a man named Woods was the proud owner of the carrion car-rion infected sphere. At all events tbe indignant populace of Bingham took up the trail and followed it ta the end. In the meantime Sheriff Burt aud De.p ,t uty United Slates Marshal Cannon had beea taken on to their staff . .and, bright and early yesterday morning v , "".'' landed at Showed' hog ranch. Tbe ' f degree of filth beggars description. Groveling in the carrion that seethed and bissod almost in rot was a drove of hogs. They were fattening for ion's market, for the supper abd tea table. Ihere they were their wrinkled jowls fattening on the putrid limbs of the dead horse, tbe dead rowi the dead aheap, rotted fish, lemons, potatoes, poultry and its writhing writh-ing od'spriD! the slimy worm. This is the choice roust that "is supplied by the owner of the hog ranch for the consumers of Sait Lake. This and more was revealed to the officers. Tbey undertook to paint tlie si'ht as It presented pre-sented in itself in all its hideous eflect, but the foreman of the grand jury halted them. It was loo much for abdominal endurance. They grew pale and sickened sick-ened at the sickening legend. They had gone far enoueh iuto vivi.section, The disease and contagion than finds birthplace in these choice porcineal roasts would bRflle the sir of any country. They are the twins of disease and that the eifects of the practice have not asserted as-serted themselves in more hideous shape is due alone to the fact that Showell or Wood's hog meat is limited. Fed and fattened upon corruption, these lazy beasts are butchered for Zion's market. They arrive like tho deadly upas and aru delivered to the markets to be subicquent-ly subicquent-ly quartered and served to the consumers consum-ers of Zion. There is lurking death in every morsel, an epitaph iu every chop. The grand jury has wisely taken bold of the case and is submitting it to critical crit-ical inquiry. They believe iu relieving the city of its rotted lemons, its dead horses, its swollen dogs, its decayed cats and rawhides, but it declines to" receive it again in the shape of one of Showell or Wood's fatted Berkshire. Tbe enterprise en-terprise is, no doubt, a profitable one to its progenitors, but the hour has arrived ar-rived when a halt should be called and if an indictment for conspiracy against human life is not already been agreed upon no time should be lost in agreeing upon one. It is safe to assume that pork Bingham Bing-ham pork will suffer from a bear movement for a few days at least and that the man who hag devoured a re-I re-I cent chop will cast about him for dii-! dii-! infectanls. |
