SEIZED a CAB
Which Contained Four Hundred

Which Contained Four hundred
Gallons Countraband Whfskey.
The United States revenue depart
ment Tuesday con6iscated and is nos
holding the car and the entire ship
ment Of Whtskey which has been seize
by the dispensary coastsbles at Cayces
last Friday night and had been turn.
ID over to the authorizes Of the State
dispensary Saturday afternoon. The
seizure by the government off, oers WAS
made because the two barrels mention.
I'd at the time Of the first seizure as
containing wine were found Co con-
tain whiskey and were without the
revenue tax stamp, as required by
law.
AS has been stated, there are about
400 gallons in the car load. All Of it
is In five gallon kegs except the two
barrels, which contained about SO gal
Ions each, and it.was the absence Of
the stamps on these tive barrels which
convinced the authorities that the en-
tire shipment was Illicit WhiskeY and
resulted IL the c)nh:scation by the
revenue department.. The Law does
not require that packages OF less than
five gallons shall be stamped, as it is
presumed that these small packages
have been filed from larger ones on
which the tax has been paid.
The shipment was made by Green
g. Co., OF Salisbury, N. c., but an in
vestigation fails to find any trace Of
suco a firm doing whiskey business
in North Carolina and there seems to
be no doubt that this name Is fictitious
as are the names OF 80 consignaes to
whom the whiskey was shipped.
There have been numbers Of large
shipments Of coutraband whiskey into
the State recently, and as conse-
querce Doth the State and the federal
authorities are unusally alert and de-
termined to stop any further ship
ments as nearly as possible. Having
identical interest, they are working
together more harmoniously than ever
before.
1t is thought by some that this :em.
porary increase in shipments OF un.
stamped goods is due to the operations
of the Watts law in North Carolina,
and it is known that the force Of reye-
nue. officers and agents is greater In
that State now than probably ever
before. e.-The State.

Ia, for safe keeping. During the afternoon the men were taken be- fore Judge Wheeler and waived pre- limlnary examination. The judge then signed an order for their removal, and the men were hastily spirited away, and Sheriff Cousins left with them on the first train for Fort Madison.
 During the day Sheriff Cousins learned of an organized plan to lynch Zimmerman and Burk Tuesday night, and again made a request for a com pany of militia to guard the county jail, and arranged for a heavy force of city police to assist in case their serv- ices were required The feeling against the prisoners increased, and during the afternoon a small group of men gath cred in the vicinity of the jail to dis cuss the matter.

Non-Graduates Won.

Judge Trieber in federal court last week granted temporary injunction against Martin A. Eisele, superintend- ent of the Hot Springs United States reservation, restraining him from en- forcing rule made by the secretary of the interior, prohibiting the patients of non graduate physicians from talk ing the hot water baths. Judge Trie Der holds, in brief, that while the waters are the exclusive property of the United States, and they have the power, through congress, and then through the secretary of the interior to prescribe rules to prevent waste of the waters, yet the rule prohibiting the patients of any physician from talk ing the baths just because said physi- clan is not graduate of medical college is unwarranted and unreason- able. The plea was that the use of the waters was dangerous unless under the direction of some competent person, and that non-graduate physi- cians were not competent persons. Judge Trieber holds that there is no more reason why these patients should be prohibited from bathing than that persons not under the care of any physician should, and that as the rule does not apply to the latter class it cannot be applicable to the patients, as if there is danger in one case there certainly is in the case of a person taking the baths of his own volition, without being under the care of any physician
