JUDGE STANTON UPHELD.
Blind Pig Owner Can Not Complain
If Goods Are Destroyed.

-
An owner of a blind pig must not
complain if. in addition to heavy
fine, his stock of drinkables is also
seized, if a recent decision of the
supreme court is good criterion.
Hans Hanson, in Clearwater coun-
ty, was fined 500, and in lieu of the
fine went to Jail for ninety days. The
warrant for. his arrest included a
search warrant and about $500 worth
of beer, whisky and glasses were TAX
en- and later destroyed when the dis
trict court affirmed the action of the
justice who issued the warrant.
The supreme court affirms Judge
Stanton, of the lower court, and says
that the actions fell within the police
power of the state and the total pun
ishment was not excessive. The
opinion follows.
''The defendant was charged in
justice court, on duly verified COM
plant, with keeping an unlicensed
drinking place contrary to R. L..
1905, Sec. 1859 A warrant for his
arrest was issued, which included a
warrant for search of the premises
and seizure of all intoxicating Ii
quors and all other property and
things used in keeping such place,
found therein. He was convicted
and sentenced to pay fine of 500,
and in default thereof to be confined
in the county jail for ninety days.
He appealed to the district court on
questions of law alone, and the con-
victions were affirmed. The sheriff
was also ordered to destroy the Ii
quors and to sell the other property
used in keeping such place, found
and seized therein by him by virtue
of the search warrant. Held:
1. The justice had jurisdiction of
the offense and=a.he defendant was
legally convicted, although no maxi
mum penalty was fixed by the statute,
and the value of the property seized
was $500. State VS.. Stoffels, 80
MINI. 2O5, and State VS.. Right, 1O6
Mimi, 81, followed.
2. The statute providing for a
search of an unlicensed drinking
place and seizure and forfeiture of
intoxicating liquors and other prop
erty used in keeping such place.
found therein, as proper exercise
of the police power of the state, and
constitutional.
3. The complaint and warrant
herein were sufficient to authorize
the seach of the place and seizue of
the Intoxicating liquor there found.
Whether the complaint was sufficient
to authorize the search warrant as
to property other than the liquors is
a question not presented by the re-
cords. and not determined
Judgement affirmed.
