not believe any answer will be forth
coming.

a car Of beer seized in Carona, April
%, by Sheriff Martin.
Judge Sapp held that though the car
was shipped to CarOna with instruc-
tions to notify James Depoli, since it
was shipped by the company from
itself to itself, the delivery was COM
pleted when the car reached its des-
tinatiOn and so was subject to seizure
The courtroom was packed with
representatives of Citizens league OF
Cherokee county, a law enforcement
organization, and members of the
the state was cheered when he made
his argument and the attorney for the
brewery was Kissed.
Judge Sapp asserted that as a matter
of law, D. H. Holt, cashier of the
Mineral State bank, and not James
Depoli, was the agent of the brewery.
He based this on the fact that the car
shipped to Depoli within sixteen months
was shipped billed from the Columbia
Brewing Company, st. Louis, to the
Columbia Brewing company, Carona,
Kansas, notify James Depoli," and that
a draft with bill of lading attached was
sent to the bank which delivered the
bill of lading when the draft was paid.
Judge Sapp said this contaminated
the sale and made the banker in fact
agent for the brewery. Mr.. Holt is
president of the Citizens league of
Cherokee county, law enforcement
organization.
Judge Sapp directed County Attorney
Boss to investigate the charges that
county and city officials are influenced
and controlled by liquor Interests made
