The case of the state VS. /. A.
Brown, better known as the Two Per
Cent case, was argued and presented
for consideration of the Supreme
Court on Saturday and an early deci-
sion is looked for
Brown, who formerly conducted the
Hermitage Saloon i'm this city, ON Jan
uary first after the Prohibition law
went into effect. sold a bottle of Bar
rette" or Two Percent which was
manufactured by the Copper city
Brewing Company of Douglas; he was
arrested and tried before the Superior
Court at Tombstone and convicted and
the case appealed to the Supreme
Court
Il is the contention of the Attorneys
for the defense that Barrette is not a
beer or an intoxicating beverage i'm
view of the fact that it contains less
than two per cent alcohol while the
usual formula for beer contains four
per cent. The contention of the Stale
is that II is a beer and that il is am
Intoxicating beverage in that Il con
tains alcohol This is the question
that the Supreme Court will have o
decide. In other words, when is beer
not a beer
There are still other cases pendine
