Garland Declares Wholesale
% Malt Liquors Discriminating.
In the case of the Theo. Hamm Brewing
Company of st. Paul, Mimi, against the
sheriff and states attorney of Brown
County, brought in the United States
court at Sioux Falls several weeks ago,
Judge Garland has handed down a decis-
ion in which the wholesale license for
malt liquors is held to he void as discrim-
mating.
The brewery c%ompany's warehouse at
Aberdeen was closed by the authorities of
Brown County because it refused TO pay
the wholesale license required by the new
state liquor license law. The brewery COM
pany, in its suit, contended that this fea-
lure of the Law was unconstitutional, and.
applied for an injunction restraining the
authorities of Brown County from collect
ing the license or interfering with its bust
ness. Judge Garland, i'll his decision,
limited the injunction to closing the place
of business. State and county authorities
and outside brewing companies which
have warehouses in the state have closely

Laying Out of New Roads Leads "a


The newly settled portion of Charles
Mix County along the extension OF the
Milwaukee Railroad into that part of the
state is having some trouble Of its own.
The settlement of the county requires the
laying out Of roads and other public inn
%provements. In some parts of the newly
settled region Platte Creek obstructs the
section line roads. Township boards laid
out roads along the creek in such a man
ner that they technically encroached on
farms. One farmer, in order that a test
case might be. carried into the state circuit
court, constructed his fence out to the Sec
ton line, thus %obstructing the road and
then by force prevented the removal of the
fence. He was arrested and fined for OBJ
structing a public highway, but has APP
pealed the case to the state circuit court
for the purpose of settling the question for
himself and others similarly affected by
the laying out of new roads.
