MILK TIGHT TO BE SXHXWSD IN COURT DefendftHtg In Legal Battle file Their Answer Indications that litigation between dealers and producers upon the subject of the Chicago ban against noirtubereulin tested milk will be renewed shortly in the courts, was seen when defendants in the action filed answers to the hill of the producers, which in substance seeks a permanent injunction to restrain the dty of Chicago from barring untested milk. Defendants in the action, represented by Heelth Commissioner Herman N. Bundesen of Health and leading dealer agencies of the city, were requested to file answers to the ori ginal, amended and supplemental bills for permanent injunction several weeks ago. Circuit Judge William J. Fulton, of Kane county, issued the order requesting thst answers be filed shortly after he had rendered a decision over-ruling demurrers of the defendants to the injunction bills. In their answers,' the defendants deny that they conspired together to keep non-tuberculin tested milk out of Chicago in violation of the Shurtleff act In substance, the answers deny all of the allegations set up in the bills for injunction. In view of the fact that arguments on the injunction are apt to require an unusually long sesston of court, it is probable that the matter may be heard before thd%ast*r-ia-chancery.

Mintern, Zion. one of the foremost figures in Zion's ecclesiastical life, and regarded as right hand man of Wilbur Glenn Voliva, the general overseer, has suffered what appears to be a mental collapse. The collapse came a few days ago while Apostle Mintern waa conducting a big serivce in 8hiioh tabernacle in connection with the Fast of Tabernacles that is bfiag observed all this week. His remarks at first were such that they occasioned no surprise. But as he proceeded it finally launched into a tirade against general conditions and is said to have made many esuetk remarks about the general Overseer himmself. Other officers of the church sought to quiet him but in vain. Then Vofiva in an effort to improve matters, pronounced the benediction. Still Mintern continued te tirade. The congregation was dismissed and Mtaftsrn waa removed to hie home whcch$he is being attended by church officers. Overwork is blamed for the mental breakdown of the well known Zion churchman. He has been an indefatigable worker for the church and to hia regalar duties recently was added the duty of editing the "Theocrat," official publication of the Zion church. His nerves are believed to have given way under the strain.
