HIDDEN BUTTER TUB
CAUSES PROSECUTION
Woman Slips It Into Bed When
Officers Come and Hubby
Is Punched.

Washington, Nov. 2&-Out Of the in
cident of a butter tub" in a feather
bed may be evolved by the supreme
court of the United States the law
OF the land relative to the retail trade
in oleomargarine.
Some months ago John A. Ripper,
Of ST. Louis, Mo, who possessed a re-
tail dealers license to sell oleomarga-
rine, was suspected Of violating the
oieomargarine act Of congress of 1885.
Revenue officers searched his residence.
Upstairs in a feather bed was found
an empty oleomargarine tub. It was
alleged that the tax paid stamp IN
he tub was intact, in violation be
law. Mrs. Ripper said she had Il
the tub In the bed when she saw the
officers in the house. Why she did it
she did not know.
Ripper vas indicted on a charge of
having in his possession an empty oleo-
margarine package, "thG tax paid
stamp upon which he had wiIfully
neglected and refused to DESTROY" He
was also charged with having sold
to the post hospital at Jefferson bar
racks, an army post, "A pounds OF oleo-
margarine, when it was alleged that
the law limited MIN in such sales to
10 pounds. He vas convicted on both
charges and sentenced to six months
Imprisonment. He has appealed to the
supreme court to review his case. It's
decision as to granting a review is
expected next Monday.
On his behalf it is claimed the act
Of congress may make it an offense to
empty an oleomargarine tub without
destroying the stamp thereon, but it
does not make it an offense to have
q tub with an undestroyed stamp upon
1t In ones possession. 1t also is
claimed that a retail dealer may sell
more than 10 pounds of oleomargarine
at one time to a customer.

TITLE CLEARED TO
100000 ESTATE
Noted VIII Case in Nebraska 10 Set
tied After Ten Years Of
Litigation.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 12.-According
to decision handed down by the SUI
preme court. Joseph II. Mills. Of Falls
City, Is the rishtful heir to an estate
valued several years ago at $780,.
900. II Ii worth great deal more
now.
The district court Of Richardson
county has decided that the will exc
cuted by Stephen B. Miles at Rulo
Nov. ~, 1888. was rightfully probated.
and that the testimony did not dis
close that q subsequent will was made
at st. Louis and had been concealed
by Joseph II. Miles when he became
executor of the estate.
Only one question was passed upon
by the supreme court. That was the
sufficiency of the evidence as to
whether or not later will was made
in st. Louis. The court found the EVIL
dence not sufficient TO establish the
st. Louis will.
The suit has been In the court for
the last ten years. II has attracted a
great deal Of attention In surrounding
states.
The elder Mills died In Fall City
