BARREL OF LIQUOR
IS CAUSING TROUBLE
is HELD BY SHERIFF WHILE VA
RIous ORDERS ARE WORKING.
co6acatsd as Property Of Ben stiles,
But Ordered Shipped by In
structlnon Of Court.
.From Frlday,s pailt sun.

From Fridays Daily Sun.
A barrel Of whiskey and compn-
cation OF orders in the hands of
Sheriff p. G. Ramsey is getting that
official into all kinds OF ent.ngled
predicaments, especially since the
transportation companies have refused
10 permit Sheriff Ramsey to fulfill the
instructions OF the court.
At the last term Of the Circuit
Court Ben stiles, an aged white man
Of Newberry, was aIrsigned upon a
charge OF selling liquor when he plead
guilty, but in consideration OF the
fact that stiles had been giving the
authorities previous trouble along the
same line, sentence was suspended
with the understanding that the de-
PENDANT leave Alachua county, never
TO enter It's borders to reside again.
This ruling suited Mr.. Stiles, who
agreed to leave Immediately. But he
explained to the court that he had a
barrel Of whiskey, in assorted quarts,
pints and half pints, which was the
property OF q Jacksonville whiskey
house, by reason of the fact that he
had not paid for the goods. He as
sured the court that, should the goods
be returned, proper credit would be
given him, whereupon the court IN.
structed the sheriff to ship the goods
to the designated whiskey firm In
Jacksonville.
So far so good. but the genial
sheriff was confronted by another oh.
stacle, When he presented the pack
age to the transportation companies
they refused TO handle the same for
shipment, upon the grounds that to
move the package from Alachua coun.
" they would be violating the law.
sheriff Ramsey carted the liquor
back to the jail store room, where IL
has since remained.
After II was learned that the rail-
road companies would not transport
the liquor beyond the limits Of the
county, the firm sent an order to
Newbery parties for the goods, the
order being addressed to the sheriff
II was presented TO that official Thurs
day, but, acting under the instruction
OF the court to ship the whiskey to
Jacksonville, he refused TO deliver the
goods on the ground that by so doing
he would violate the order OF the
court.
The sheriff informed the bearer Of
the order that under no circumstances
would he deliver the goods unless
through an order signed by Judge
Wills.
And so the matter stands. sheriff
Ramsey has the whiskey and the
original instruction Of the court. and
he says he intends 10 stick to both
until he sees the Judges name az.
fixed to an order to deliver the goods
to the Newberry parties
