chases mark the outlook for the coming
season according to q report OF the

Gutenberg and seized nine barrels and
two casks Of home made wine from
John Drincker and served notice Of in
junction proceedings against him. The
wine was brought to Elkader and
stored to await the action Of the court.

stroyed. The case is a peculiar one.
Mr. Drincker and wife are both over
so years old. They own q small prop
erty close to Gutenberg and for the
past thirty years or more have raised
grapes, made wine and sold 1t in a
small way. Before the repeal Of the
mulct law their business was so small
that it was never brought to the atten-
ton of the authorities altho the United
States revenue officers got after them
some years ago and since then they
have paid government license. Since
Jan. l they have had thriving BUSH
ness which led to disaster.
