ANOTHER RfPLfyIN
SUIT FOR ALCOHOL

Another replevin suit to obtain a
shipment of alcohol, the second filed
here since the bone dry law went
into effect, was brought this morn
ing by J. w. Starr of Enola, who
seeks to force the Wells-Fargo Ex-
press to deliver him a consignment of
four quarts of alcohol. The replev-
in papers were issued by Justice of
the Peace G. M. Easterwood and af-
ter Constable E. l.. King had refused
to serve them they were placed in the
hands of Sheriff W. w. Bishop.
Sheriff Bishop required the filing of
a bond in double the amount of the
value of the property and took charge
of the shipment, stating that he
would hold it three days, as the law
directs, in order to give the COM
pany an opportunity to file cross
bond and recover the liquor.
The suit was brought about by a
new rule of the express company, re-
quiring that consignees, in addition
to filing an affidavit that the alcohol
would be used only for medicinal
purposes, must also file a physicians
certificate to the same effect Mr..
Starr came about 25 miles from home
to get the shipment, which he declar-
ed was needed in his family for sick
ness, but failed to bring a doctors
certificate. When delivery of the
shipment was refused he sought to
obtain it by replevin proceedings.
