Is Not Illegal to Give Whisvy
The Kentucky court az appeals
holds, in the case OF the common
wealth against A. l.. Abbott, from
Grant county, that the law against the
sale. barter or loan of intoxicating
liquors, does not forbid the giving
away II liquors. The case was an
unusual one. Abbott, q physician,
gave to one Beard whisky for the use
Of the latter's sick child. The court
says the statute was no, int ended to
punish neighborly kineress of this
kind
The court declined to hold .. r..
Sidebotom. sheriff of Owen county,
for an overdraft on the account of
one of his deputies. The deputy
gave Sidebotom check on the bank
and it was paid. Afterward it was
discovered that the deputy's account
at the bank was overdrawn $1,400.
The bank sued Sidebotom for the
amount, but the court here holds the
sheriff has no control over the ac-
counts of the deputy
~ The court construed section of
the law governing the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor, affirming q former de-
cision which defines the place where
sale was made, The case was
styled Commonwealth VS.. the Lexing-
ton Brewing Co. A salesman for the
company booked an order for malt
mead and the liquor was shipped to
George Yaffe, at Lebanon The order
was approved in Lexington and the
court here holds that the sale was
made in Lexington and not in Leb-
anon, which is a dry town. The court
says that the law against shipping
liquor applies only to common car
riers. 1t was contended that the
malt mead really was beer falsely
labeled, but the court did not touch
on this point, holding that even if it
was beer the law had not been vio-
lated
The court upheld verdict of $4,000
against the G. G o. railroad, in favor
of Maria Burke, on appeal from the
Boyd circuit court. The woman was
injured in wreck caused by the
'buckling" of a ram, and the court
here says the railroad is required to
lay it's rails SO that they will not
buckle.

State Would Lose Thousands.
State officials have filed a petition
for rehearing in the case of Arthur
E. Hopkins, revenue agent, against
the Fidelity Trust company, trustee
of the Dennis Long estate, in which
they contend that if the opinion of
the court in this case is allowed to
stand, Kentucky will lose many thou
sands of dollars in revenue. The Pc
tition alleges that the decision would
relieve payment of taxes on all stock
in foreign corporations held in Ken
lucky. thereby seriously impairing
the states income. The petition for
a rehearing was led by Mr.. Hopkins,
and was Joined in by Judge James
Garnett, attorney general, and Henry
M. Bosworth, state auditor, represent
ing Kentucky. The decision, which
was handed down by Judge Robert FL.
Winn, holds that if a foreign corpora.
ton pays any taxes in Kentucky,
stock in that corporation held by an
individual is exempt from taxation.
The two state officials asking for an
other hearing contend that holders of
stock in the Standard Oil company,
which pays taxes on its wagons, are
exempted from paying taxes on their
stock under the decision of the court.

Additional Land for Asylum.
The state board of control has pur-
chased 40 acres of fine land for the
state, lying between the Lakeland
hospital and the l.. & N. railroad for
$4,000. The place has nice resi-
dence on it and a fine barn. This will
mean valuable addition to the farm
lands for the hospital and the board
is much pleased with its purchase.
The farm was first sub-divided into
lots by the owner and sold in sec
tons, and then sold as whole, when
the board bought It. The purchase OF
this land has been contemplated by
former boards, but they were unable
| to close the deal and the present
board could not do SO till the land had
been subdiyided and then sold as a
whole. The contracts for supplies OF
