torney John Weir took three boxes OF
whisky in bottles Of quart and pint
sizes. The liquor Is held at the police

fiscation was the billing OF the ship
ment which was brought to the Dav-
export depot from Rock Island. The
cases bore no labels as TO contents, but
were billed as containing groceries
similar to the shipmen seized by At
torney Jebens' orderstlast week. The
cases were billed under the name of
Patterson as sender, and were con-
signed to liquor dealers in Des Moines.
