Killeen, Tex., which is in Bell county,
near Belton. It was dropped from the
balloon at 1 a. m. on March 1 by Mr.
Harrison, something more than three
hours after their departure from San
Antonio. W’hen Mr. Harrison was
shown the postals received at this of
fice he was very much gratified. He
said:
“This eard from Killeen, Tex., set
tles in my mind a question that has
been one of much conjecture on the
part of Mr. Hannon and myself. That
is, had we started at 6 o’clock as we
originally intended, we would have
slipped through the mixed winds that
SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE
caused us to come down in Arkansas.
This card makes me think we would
have gone around the conditions that
caused us to come down and we would
have been carried over Missouri.
“The winds went to pieces and
caused us to throw all of our ballast
and water overboard. It was Mr. Har
mon’s skill in handling the balloon that
took us as far as we did go.
“We passed over Killeen, Tex., at
1 a. m.. but I codld not tell whether
the lights of Belton was that place or
Austin. Of course, this card proves that
it was Belton and that Austin had been
passed some time earlier, and had we
left San Antonio at ti o’clock at the
rate we were carried this far. we would
have reached Arkansas where the winds
were whipped to pieces, several hours
in advance of what we did and slipped
through. The report said it was a storm
that caused us to come down. This is
not so. It was the fact that one minute
we would be going up and the next
minute coming down, so mixed were the
winds and after throwing off everything
r;e could we had to come down.
“Mr. Harmon is very much pleased
with San Antonio as a starting point
and will try again some time in the lat
ter part of June or July. Those cards
were an enterprising piece of work on
the part of your paper and were of
much value to us in settling a ques
tion that would always have remained
a doubt in our minds. I still have a
number of them and will use them again
on our next trip.’’
Mr. Harrison requested that the card
from Killeen he given him as a sou
venir. It had remained probably in a
field for nearly two mouths before
picked up and was badly weather*

HORSE MEAT
FOB CHICAGO
FREELONCHES
Inspectors Find It Is Also Used
in Cheap Boarding Houses
in Windy City.
FIND BUTCHERS AT WORK
Proprietor of Abattoirs Say It
Is All “Shipped to Denmark"
or Sold to Circuses.
Chicago, April 23.—The discovery
that horses are being butchered at Chi
cago for hurnau food has led.tp a series
of investigations on the- part of the
Illinois food commission to learn where
the meat is sold. In spite of the claim
of the horse -killers that their product
is exported to Copenhagen, Denmark,
Inspector Hoey of the commission, gives
his opinion in an official report just
made that part of the horse moat, at
least, is sold to cheap restaurants and
free lunch saloons in Chicago.
The investigation resulted in the dis
covery of two horse slaughter houses,
one of which was in operation when
visited by Inspector Hoey. The pro
prietor made no pretense that be was
butchering anything but horses, but
insisted the meat was for circuses and
for export. Thirty barrels of cured and
salted horse meat were found at his
place.
Sausage Casings "Made.
The horse packing plant which was
found in operation is on the line of the
Joliet & Chicago Electric railway, one
mile west of the city limits, at Archer
avenue. It is operated by Charles
-r,d. according to his statement,
kills fifteen horses a week.
The other plant had been operated by
Walter Johauese, and was five miles
west of Dunning. It had beeu aban
doned when visited, and the proprietor
had moved to a new location on the
Desplaines river.
Sausage casings made from horses
were found at the Beigel plant. The
proprietor insisted that they, too, were
exported to Denmark, but Johanese
said horse killers frequently disposed
of the casings to a sausage maker’s sup
ply house in Chicago.
Beigel admitted he furnished horse
meat to his neighbors, farmers living
outside the city limits, but said he did
not accept any pay for it. Ue boasted
that ho had “never turned a poor per
son away empty handed.”
The food inspector based his state
ment that horse meat was being deliv
ered to cheap restaurants and saloons
upon observations made by himself
during a score of trips to the vicinity
of the horse packing house and upon
the evidence of persons w ith whom he I
talked during these trips. A delivery I
wagon from the horse packing bouse
made frequent visits to saloons on the |
west side, he- said.
Sold to Boarding Houses.
He secured evidence that the wagon ।
also made trips to a boarding house
neighborhood in Summit. 111., where
Austrians employed in the quarries
near by live. These boarding houses, he
reported, obtained meat at •’ cents a
pound, while ihe proprietor of a mar
ket in that town complained that the
lowest price he could make on beef was
9 cents a pound.
The report of Inspector Hoey was
made to the state food commission and
recommended legislation which will en-i
able the department to control the kill
ing of horses in Illinois. It embraces
a series of investigations started a year
ago and not yet completed.
Business was good at < harles Beigel’s
horse slaughter house. Beigel’s sentry
saw the inspectors turn from the road
toward the slaughter house and came
to meet them. The visitors insisted on
being* shown the plant, and the sentry
reluctantly opened the door.
Dressed meat, from twenty horses
was hanging in the cooling room. Ibit
tv barrels filled with cured horse meat,
ready for shipment, were found in the
pickling room. In the principal work
room a huge kettle of hot water was
boiling over a fire, where men had been
preparing casings to be used on sail
sages.
Supplies for “Circuses.
Beigel’s explanation was that he was
killing merely to supply circuses with
food for animals. He explained he fur
nished meats for two circuses during

Beigel denied that any of the slaugh
ered animals were sold in America for
hurnita food. He said the shipments
were made to the circuses, and that
each shipment was niarked “Animal
food. Xot for human use.” The meat,
he said, was loaded into box cars with
out packing.
Cured and Salted.
The inspector wanted to know if any
of the meat was being cured or smoked,
and in the main packing house found a
room with curing vats full of meat cut
into convenient sizes. On every side
were barrels of meat, sometimes packed
one on top of the other, which had been

cured and salted. Some of the barre's
were open and others were covered
loosely.
“That is to be shipped to Copen
hagei, Denmark,” Beigel explained.
“Tbit is the best market in Europe.
None of it is sold in this country.”
In another room were bundles of cas
ings for sausages. They had been wash
ed aid salted. The packer said these
also went to Copenhagen. Then the
animal pens were visited, but the morn
ing “kill” had emptied these.
The plant is a tumble-down affair,
comprising three principal buildings.
The packing house reeked in dirt, and
there was no sewer system to carry ott
refuse. The floors were cleaned indiffer
ently after the killing. The horses aro
