SUSTAINED BY JUDGE GRACE IN THE CANS & COM
 PANY CASE
AGAINST COTTON BELT.
Shipment of Whiskey Cause of Suit---Same Destroyed by
 Officers at Jonesboro.

This morning (Thursday1 in ths circuit court the case of M. Cans & Company against the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company, came up for consideration.
 It's a suit for damages occasioned by letting the officers of Jonesboro, under the order of the mayor of that city, destroy whiskeY shipped via the Cotton Belt. The case was tried on theicomplaint and answer to the parties to the suit. The plain tiff, after the filing of the Cotton Belts answer, filed a demurrer. The suit was tried solely on the de- murrer. Both the plain tiff and de. fendant waived the right of trial by jury. The defendants stood upon their answer in the case. The evi. dence was offered by plaintiffs, M. Cans & Company on the demurrer and after the court heard all that was set forth, sustained the demur- Ter of the plaintiffs and awarded them damages to the extent of $75 giving them also the right of exeeu ton on the Railroad Company for same and further granting them the right to collect all costs of the ac ton from the Cotton Belt Railway.
 The attorneys representing Cans < Go. were Messrs. Reinberger 6 Ewing. The Cotton Belt railway was represented by it's attorneys, J. M. & J. G. Taylor. After the ruling of the court the attorneys for the Cotton Belt prayed an appeal to the supreme court, which was granted.
 In the proceedings the act of Feb ruary 13, 1899, and which was ap- proved by our last legislature, fig ured conspicuously. The act is to suppress the illegal sale of liquors and to destroy the same when found ia prohibited districts. The ruling of Judge Grace was that th4 law did not sufficiently provide for trial of the question of the legality of the shipment of the liquors; notwith- standing the law. said claimant shall have day in court.
 The gist of the case and that which brought about the suit or the part of Cans 6 Go. is this: Cans & Go made shipment to Jonesboro via the Cotton Belt. WheA the pack ages arrived at Jonesboro, which is a prohibition town, the Mayor or dered that the same be taken from lhe railway and destroyed. This was done, hence the suit against the railway company for damages.
