INDICTMENT OF FRUIT FIRMS. DID THEY CHEAT PUBLIC ? AN INTERESTING CASE. (By Cable. Association.—Copyright.) (Received 11.30 a.m.) VANCOUVER, October 1. The Federal Government has presented before the Grand Jury an indictment on 10 counts embodying 803 criminal charges, against 4:1 fruit firms and 11 individuals in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
