 FOR FLETcHER'S c A S r Rl A FAIRFIELD

An interesting case involving the in- depreciation of the state liquor law came up yesterday before Justice Ba- of Bridgeport, was arrested for solicit ing orders in Southport for the sale of beer. He represented a large brewery, which has a wholesale license for selling beer, and it sent Albisser into the neighboring towns to drum up trade. Attorney Clitus4 King act ed as prosecutor, and Attorney De- Forest of DeForest. & Kline appeared for the defence. The contention was that as the man had not actually de- livered liquors, and as the brewery had license to sell by wholesale any where in the state. no statute had been violated. On the part of the field is a local option town, no one has right to come in from the outside and peddle beer, solicit orders for the same, or deliver the goods. It was also contended that wholesale li- cense did not give one the right to sell at retail. Upon an examination of the statute, the lawyers held a advised to plead guilty, which he did, being fined s25 and costs the whole amounting to $47.70. The money was paid and the case closed.
 After dinner yesterday Clarence Banks of Greenfield Hill started for Bridgeport with load of straw weigh ing 5000 pounds. It was piled up to an immense height upon a small wagon, and bound together with ropes The load was top heavy. On reach ing the public fountain, MT.
