er, put in his fixtures and paid SIPS for
his license, and took as security two
promissory notes, one for $400 and the
other for SIPS. Dugan understood that
the beer discount was to pay off the
$125 note, but the brewer didn't under
stand it that way Dugan gave up the
saloon in the following June. Feigenspan
took the fixtures and wanted Dugan to
pay the $125 note Dugan refused, was
sued and won the case in the District
Court The brewer appealed and the
appeal was heard yesterday afternoon in
the Common Pleas Court. Feigenspan
claimed that the beer discount was to
go toward the payment of the $500 note
