An interesting legal argument before
Judge Blair in the morning was the
much mooted question concerning the
joining of stockholders in a creditors
suit against corporation, and the mat
ter rested upon the proper construction
of the three cases decided in the Vir-
ginia court OF appeals known as the
Glenn cases. A. A. l'hlegar presented
the matter strongly and was followed
by other members of the bar. Judge
Blair, after attentivcly listening to the
arguments, stated that he did not think
that the Glenn cases applied to the en-
forcement OF judgments that had been
obtained against corporation, and that
the said cases did not decide what was
at one time thought, that stockholders
could not have been joined in credi-
tors suit against the company, as the
first reading of the cases would imply.
This opinion has given decided salts
action, as the contrary would have
compelled separate suit to have been
instituted against each stakeholder in
stead Of binding them in a creditors
suit.
Between II and 12 yesterday morning
two two-horse covered wagons, which
were standing in Duck alley, were
searched by Deputy United States Col
lector S. M White for ''moonshine
licker." In one he found half pint of
corn whiskey, three empty kegs and
half dozen half gallon bottles, and in
the other half a gallon of brandy and
one gallon of corn whiskey, also two
empty kegs, one case of half gallon bot
ties and ten or twelve gallon jugs. All
the empty packages were tagged with
names of people living from Dan to
Beersheba. The men who were in
charge of the wagons gave their names
as w. A. Byrd and Tom Collins, Of
Check postofIice, Floyd county, and
claimed they were delivering liquor for
J. j. PoH's distillery at Check. Mr..
cred two four and seven eighths gallon
packages of liquor to Charles Murray s
saloon, and as there was not as much as
five gallons of liquor in tho wagons he
let them go but will swear out warrants
for tho two men for retailing liquor
without license.
