A man was recently charged with
selling liquors without license at point op-
posite Osceola, Ark, in the Mississippi
River. There was no question as to where
the saloon was located, but the defendant
claimed that the Constitution Of 1874 de-
clared the boundary Of the State line on the
east to be the middle of the main channel of
the Mississippi River, and the channel was,
ON the 30th of October, 1874, located west
of the sand-bar, and that the State line
is therefore now where it was in 1874, while
now the channel Of the river is east of the
| bar. But the court decided that the east
| line of the State was shifting, and that it
always followed the main channel of the
| river, and so instructed the jury, who
| found the defendant guilty, and, being una
able to agree upon the amount of the fine,
| the Court fixed it at 5000, and the defendant
| appealed to the Supreme Court
