JUDGE WOULD
like TO CUSS

Bismarck, April 23.-The judgment
entered by a justice of the peace or
dering the destruction of liquor cannot
be assailed collaterally by means of
an action against the officer holding
the liquor under the judgment, ruled
the majority of the supreme court in
an opinion handed down late yester-
day in the case of j. Blumhart, ct al,
VS.. Charles Mcdonald. the now ia
nous Glen Ullin wine case. in which
the ownership Of 26 barrels of wine,
formerly the alleged property of as
many plaintiffs. is involved.
The wine was seized on the direc-
ton of Attorney General LANCER, then
states attorney of Morton county, on
the justice courts order issued to
Sheriff Mcdonald. The plaintiffs
Morton county for a Judgment against
Sheriff Mcdonald and his deputies,
enjoining them from destroying rs
barrels Of wine, valued at SIS per bar
rel, and the return of the same to
the original purchasers. The action
found it's way into the supreme court
through an appeal by Mcdonald from
the judgment of the lower court over
ruling McDonald's demurrer to the
complaint OF the plaintiffs.
I In again reversing the decision, the
supreme court suggests that the proper
procedure on the part of the plaintiffs
would be an appeal from the judgment
entered by the justice Of the peace.
Judge Robinson, in a dissenting
opinion, begins by stating that 1t is
difficult to write dissent in this case
without using some swear words,
and concludes with the statement that
sin this state there is immense press
ure to undo the principles Of civil lib
erty and personal rights. and that
pressure has been felt by the judges
and they have left monuments to Wit
ness it. There is no safety in popular
rule unless it be in strict conformity
to- law. When the furies are once let
loose it becomes impossible to restrain
them. and the result is anarchy and
the destruction of civil rights and lib
critics.

Auditor Thinks Counties
Should be Barred from

eral for an opinion as to whether

hospital for the insane and proceed
for, a number of years to pay for that
patients care, may. after everyone has
forgotten all about the original cir
cumstances suddenly discover that the
patient to begin with was a non-resi-
dent and thereupon deduct from the
current fees due the state the entire
amount paid. This has been done in a
number of instances recently, Trail
county deducting $1,000 in one lump.
If this practice continues, the state
auditor fears the appropriation made
for the care Of patients directly
chargeable to the state will be de-
pleted.
