CUSTER SUIT AGAINST SHERIFF
Suit Against Sheriff c. c. cremcr, OF
WapeIIo County, May Affect
Other Iowa Counties.

Ottumwa, April 15-Indications that
the custer suit against Sheriff &C
Cremer of Wapello county may affect
other Iowa counties became apparent
when several sheriffs testified that
they were following practices exactly
similar to those which are largely re-
sponsible for the trial of Cremer Each
testified he is taking expense money
incurred in the transaction OF official
duties despite the law which became
effective last July and which limits a
sheriff's compensation to his salary.
Each also testified he followed the
practice OF serving subpoenas by tele.
phone and that when he uses his own
automobile in serving subpoenas he
charges the same mileage as when
forced to hire car
Charles Doran, deputy sheriff, was
the last and star witness for the state.
He testified that he had charge of the
books and that for considerable time
hehas been putting down charges
against the county that he knew to be
excessive and improper.

to Selling Intoxicating Liquors
and Receives Heavy Fine
SOLD VANILLA-LEMoN EXTRACTS
Every Business Man Who Sells These
Extract Does So at His Own
| Hazard-culinary Uses Only

Clarinda. April 15-Fred Osborn. of
Shenandoah, plead guilty yesterday to
selling intoxicating liquors to w. b.
Hurt in the district court of Page
county before Judge A. B. Thornell
and was fined 5000 and costs. But to
the indictment of running nuisance
he plead not guilty and that charge
held against him was dismissed.
The supreme court has held any.
thing containing alcohol which can be
used and is used as beverage, is in
toxicating liquor. Lemon and vanilla
extracts are used as a beverage and
are classified as intoxicating liquors,
Fred Osborn did not sell whisky or
alcohol in It's unadulterated states, but
he sold vanilla and lemon extracts as
all the groceries do and have done.
Fred was indicted for selling intOxi
eating liquors to w. B. Hurt when. in
fact, he sold him vanilla extract upon
which lie got drunk and that Is the
charge to which he plead guilty and
upon which his fine is based.
Mr.. Osborn says he did not know it
was a violation of the law to sell va
nilla and lemon extracts; that he has
sold 1T for years and supposed that
there was no more law against the sale
of it than the selling of sugar and
meats. He says he did not intention
ally violate the law; that he is. law
abiding citizen and of course. wants
to obey the laws of the country. zig
norance OF the law excuses no one" is
an old and common law maxim that
everybody should write upon the tab
lets of his memory. Every business
man who sells these extracts does so
at his own hazard. They may be sold
for culinary purposes. but it Is the
business of the seller to know that he
is not selling to habitual drunkards.
The second offense is felony and q
penitentiary act.

opinion of experts who have
