Not as Baggage.

It was held by the Texas attorney

w. B. O'Quinn, district attorney of
Angelina county, that person could
not carry Intoxicating liquor into dry
territory as baggage, for the reason
that the exception under the Allison
liquor law, permitting person. to
carry such liquor for his own use or
for the use of members of his family
living with him, provides that he must
personally carry such liquor; that to
check intoxicating liquor as baggage
amounts to shipment. which is a
