been unconstitutional. They have begun
suit before Judge Gaffey at Pierre on the
collection OF the liquor bill, setting up the
plea that such bill is uncollectibie be-
cause the liquor traffic is in violation of the
statutes. Their answer was demurred to
and the case will shortly be submitted on

the law, it will cover the case of repeal.
