Louisville, KY, regarding the reported
besieging OF Judge Lewis and party in

Smith was in the door OF the CumbeT-
land house. When they saw each other,
Howard pulled his pistol and young
Smith seized Il Winchester rifle which
was near him and both began 10 shoot.
None of the bullets were buried in the
targets they were intended for but 1t wus
thought at first Howard was killed, One
Of Smiths bullets grazed his temple and
the shock knocked him down, While
he lay there stunned for q moment Smith

John Howard left town aud when the
news reached Wills Howard within an
hour that his brother came near being
killed by q member OF the Law and
Order party, he vowed vengeance. Wills
IL implicitly obeyed by bis followers,

OF j. N. Craig, appellant, vs.. Werbueller

cision has been handed down by the
Supreme Court, prepared by Judge
Given, in which several old features and
some new ones Of tho prohibitory law
are passed upon. Among tho questions
is the right OF the State by legislative en-.
aClment to COnnsCate personal property
Of defendant without process Of law, It
being claimed that the statutes author
izing such acts ar9 in conflict with the
Constitution Of the United States and
Iowa.
The opinion holds that in n criminal
action for nuisance against tho man the
place kept by him is on trial also, and,
therefore, there is due process nj law,
This is "a matter that has been much dis.
Cussed, aud involves u grave question Of
the extent Of til. powers ot the State

Ceeds 100000 in value and consists Of
