Express Companies Threaten Action,
Claiming Lien on Goods.
The express companies doing bust
ness in North Dakota do not intend
tamely to submit to the confiscation
of liquor in their possession. There
have been two seizures to date, one
at Mlnnewaukon and one at Churches
Ferry. both having been made under
the statute adopted by the legislature
empowering peace officers to confis-
cate liquor brought into the state for
illegal sale.
The beer is shipped into the state
with charges collect. The law pro-
vides that the express company's
charges are a lien on the property
until such time as they are paid. So
when the liquor is in the warehouse
with the charges unpaid, the company
has a lien on it. At Minnewaukon
and Churches Ferry the property was
taken from the warehouse while the
charges were still unpaid.
The express companies threaten to
bring suit for damages against the
peace officers who made the seizures.
