The supreme court OF iowa has jus,
decided an important question in con
nection with the enforcement of pro-

whether constable who made search
for liquors was entitled to any fees III case
his search was unsuccessful. In all tho
large cities there is a chance for them to
cause innocent parties much trouble
through spite, and to make good deal of
money by going to places where they
have not good and sufficient reason to
believe that any contraband liquors are
TO be found. The case came up from
Polk county and'thc supreme court has
decided that after the officer has taken
oath that he believes certain place con.
taines liquors held Illegally, aud on the
strength of his affidavit has obtained
search warrant, that he is then entitled
to his fee for The search. even though
no liquor is found. To hold otherwise,
says the court, would be to require an
officer to perform duty and then maze
no provision for compensating him The
way is left open for fraud under this
rule, but the court thinks that it IS HE
only rule that can be made of general
application and not do injustice to some.
