in three or four cases recently: We mention

that Herman Ahaus, who applies thro' the
jeff. for license. wants TO sell his property

at the Depot, was offered his price for his

there /; but when he learned that the property
was wanted for the purpose of selling whisky
therein. he refused to sell good for that.
If every owner of property would refuse to
rent to liquor sellers. and billiard table keep
ers, the sources Of several evils would be
