OF IMPORTANCE TO BREWERIES.
Beer Can BE Sent to Local Option Towns
if Not Sold There.

MADISON, Wis, Feb 5.-The supreme
court has rendered an important decision to
brewery Interests. and one that may hav CON
siderable influence upon local option in the
future. In the case, Sarbecker VS.. the
state, Sarbecker was at the commencement
of the action an agent of brewing firm in
GAINESVILLE for the sale of their beer in the
city of Stoughton. At that tins no IL
censes were granted for the sale
of beer in Stoughton. The complaint
charged Sarbecker with selling con
trary to law The evidence tends &c
show that Sarbecker solicited orders of CON
sumers in S oaghtcn and forwarded thom tc
the firm in Janeiville, where they filed them
by shipping the beer either to the consum rs
directly or to the agent Sarbecker. The Jus
tice and circuit courts found Sarbecker
guilty of selling liquor in Stoughton, but
this court reversing the judgments of the
lower courts, holds that when the beer was
delivered to the railway company in James
vile the sale was complete and hence no sale
of liquor took place in Stoughton, but the
sales by the agent were made in GAINESVILLE.

IT IS stated on good authority that the land grabbers led by CooIie Berry, are waiting to see what action will be ,tlken by Congress, on the Bean Iill. to abolish the county courts, before proceeding against pronerty owners on the Mountain Maid claim. If the bill does not pass, suits are to be brought by the wholesale in tn Ccm ty Court to disposSess occupants, who will not submit quietly to being 6lackmaiIed. THE TOMBSTONE desires right now to notify settlers on the Mountain Maid mine, that the title undsr which Berry claims possession $ absolutely null and void, For the reason that it is based upon a patent issued "n supplemental location of the mine, applied Tor at a time when every foot of ground on the Noun. tain Maid had Seen settled upon. Not lorg since party owning lot on the clein, which he had settled jpon, prior 10 the issuance of the patent, and from which Berry sought to oust him, petitioned the Attorney General of the United States to be allowed to bring suit ia the name of the Unitel States, to set aside the gatett to the nine on the ground oi fraud. Accompanying the petition were atiidav;is, and maps of the orig inal and supplemental locations. The petition Was denied for the reason, MARK IT WELL, that tie original lJca- Jion was void on it's face, and that the supplemental location coulI not be tlsed as an custer against persons who had settled upon the claim prior to the issuance Of the patent based on ths; location, and that the petitioner being one of those parties, Was secure n possessi n, and had no need to have the patent set aside, as it carried no title as against him, or against T tile descending from one who had located prior 10 the issuance of the patent. This opinion was rendered. by Attorney General Garland, and eoncurred in by the Secretary of the Interior, ani Commissioner of the General Land OH:e. As previously stated the entire surface ground of ,he,Mountain Maid, was settled upon long prior to the issuance Of :he patent.
