is puzzling City Judge. Chas. A.

ar Is, either the shipper or the con-
sienee, the trunk having only a
check number on it and the whisky
is unlabeled. No one has ventured
20 claim the booze and likely will
not on account of the penalty at
tached for bringing liquor into dry
territory. The owner not being
known Judge Wood has no order TO
proceed against or convict in order
to legally destroy the liquor. The
question has been put up to the at
torney general for decision.
