ored, filed by T. J. Ripley IN superior
court Tuesday, asks the court to APP
point receiver for about S1,400 worth
of confiscated liquor taken by the coun-

find anything to levy on.
Now the petitioner claims that the
whiskeyf in possession of the county

such should be levied on to satisfy
the judgment. The petitioner wants a.
receiver to hold the whisky until the
court directs what shall be done with
it. 1t is claimed that the whisky could
be shipped out of the state and sold.
