A PEDDLER DECISION.
Marengo Case Decided Against the
City and Costs Assessed to 1t.

Marengo, March ia very impor-
tant decision has been rendered in
Judge Byington's district court relative
to the peddlers' license law of Iowa,
and the struggle between town coun-
ellis and solicitors for outside mercan-
tile houses. The district court holds
that the solicitor for the Sinclair Tea
& Coffee CO., Of Marshalltown, is not
transient merchant" in the m Gaming
Of the statute, but that he is as free to
take orders for teas and coffees as is
any other travelling man to take orders
from merchants for the goods they
buy of wholesalers. The judge inter-
prets the statute as applying only to
transient persons who sell their own
goods, such as the fire sale fakir who
comes to town for a week and moves
on, contributing nothing to the support
Of the government which protects him.
