Fort Dodge Oct 4.-What promises
to be a most sensational suit was filed
in the district court by M j. Fitz-
patrick, attorney for the plaintiff, un-
der the title of Dan Lenihan VS.. James
SStolp and G. G. Stolp.
According to the petition of the
plaintiff, about the 9Th day of Septem-
Der he was approached by James Stolp
who made him a proposition to trade
certain piece of land in the city OF
For Dodge to him for horse, mule,
wagon and harness. After talking the
matter over and agreeing, the defend
ant was to receive besides the above
named property $500 in money, he in
duced the plaintiff to drink intoxicat
ing liquors. according to the allega-
ton. and after he had become mental
ly incompetent, accompanied him to
the office of B. L. Hutchinson, where
the necessary papers of transfer were
made out, first cautioning Lehman to
say nothing in regard to the deal while
at the office. Later the plaintiff dis
covered that but a small portion of the
tract agreed upon had been transferred
to him, and he now asks the promis-
sorry note of $500 given to 'Stolp be
cancelled and he be given damages in
the sum of $500. the same being the
value of the horse, mule and other
property.

beer had been seized with the thought
that it was being illegally transported
thru the county. The trial as to
condemnation is set for next Monday
and the Hiteman men say they will re-
turn to the city at that time and claim
their liquor. The brewers are up in
arms over the seizure and their local
attorney says if the beer is held the
case will be appealed to the highest
courts. Things in the liquor line in
this county are in an awful middle
and the people generally will be glad
to see the courts settle the question as
to the right Of the brewers to make
shipments into the county The coun-
ty attorney now claims that the brew
ers have not the right under the inter-
state commerce law to make shipments
into the county from outside nor in
side the state and that II is upon these
grounds that all liquor shipped is being
seized Lovilia people are still after
