WANT EXPRESS
CO. To ACCEPT
LIQUOR ORDERS

Whether the Wells Fargo can be
compelled to accept liquor shipments
to any point in tie State, is cues
ton put up to Judge John A. Snider
of the Common Pleas Court N an ap
plicaton for writ of mandamus filed
Monday morning by Harry E. Allen
ander, attorney for Claude ID. Speak
and George A. Withers. The matter
will be taken up at this term of court.
Speak and Withers assert in their pc
tltion that the express company as
common carrier can not refuse to ac-
cept any shipments of liquor. They
contend they suffered heavy damage
since the express company ceased
taking liquor shipments and had no
other recourse for remedy but the writ
of mandamus.
The petition cites that since the COM
oany stopped taking such shipments
the REALTORS had at least LOCO orders
which could not be delivered on account
of the company's attitude. Speak and
Withers are both engaged in the Ii
'quor business, the former, in the Cape
and Withers in lAllenville.
Several months ago Circuit Judge
J. P. Ford Of Butler County ruled that
the express company could not reject
any liquor shipments. The case was
ried in the Butler County Circuit
Court on a writ of mardanlus, and the
express company appealed the case.
The ruling Of the Judge was sustained
by the Supreme Court.
When a ruling was made by the
federal courts that the shipments of
liquor from a "wet" state into a dry
state was Illegal, the prosecuting at
:orneys of dry counties threatened to
prosecute the express companies for
delivering liquor shipments. The rule
las been enforced for some time.
Should Judge Snlder grant the Wit
f randamus ths Wells Fargo Co.
will have to accept and deliver all
shipments from the two plaintiffs in
his case. Other liquor dealers, how
ever, will not be affected by TIE deci-
/ ion Of Judge Snider in this case.
Arguments vii ibo heard by Judge
5n:dsr next Tuesday morning Wheth-
Y the express company viii make an
effort to oppose the writ, IS not
known Local iiqnor dealers say they
re anxious to have the matter test
Cd in the higher courts to determine
whether the express company can
legally reject Their shipments.

In describing an attack with gas
by the Germans the young soldier
writes, he was saved by chaplain
of his regiment. He says in his let

which is given whenever the enemy
makes the poisonous attack, and was
saved by the chaplain. When he awak-

to protect himself against the deadly
Effects of the gas.
According to the young Cape sold
er the war will last an indefinite per-

on both sides, he writes, he does not
believe that the end of tie war can
be foreseen at this, time. in fact, peace
Is far off, he believes.
The soldiers, he writes, are COM
fortably provided for They have
plenty of food and clothing. When he
wrote the last letter, tne weather was
i sagreeable and damp, evidently
marking the change OF the weather
from winter to spring, which is a
rainy and damp period in France.
