Abba, September 21.-(Special.) -
There was great destruction OF
beer in Abba last evening and more
OF the liquid was poured out than at
any one time in the history of the
county. The beer was that which has
been seized at Hooking on September
and it has been tried and retired all
over the county. When the seizure
was made the liquor was brought to
Abba. A change of venue was granted
and the trial was held at Hooking,
where jury gave the decision that it
should be returned to the brewers. It
was reseized upon the charge Of being
transported over the county without
the necessary labels and the case was
set for hearing In the court of Squire
Sanders at Lovilia. He found the
liquor guilty and it was condemned
Last evening Sheriff Griffen, Chief of
Police Woofter and dozen helpers
took the seventy-two cases and twelve
sixteen gallon kegs to the old aban-
doned coal shaft two miles west Of the
city and for three hours they stood at
the mouth of the shaft and broke
necks of bottles and smashed in the
heads of kegs There Is now the con-
tention that the county did not have
the right to so as far as they did in
the premises and the brewers may
bring suit for damages to cover the
amount of the liquor destroyed.
Rev. Perkins of the Christian
church met with a bad accident

where he had filed an engagement at
