Another Fight Coming.

New York Jan. 5-Another fight
for 2.75 percent beer Will be mado be-
fore the United States Supreme Court
according to Emery Buckner who was
associated with Elihu Root as counsel
for Jacob Rupert against whom the
United States Supreme Court decided
today.
Mr.. Roots firm is counsel for
Christian Feigcnspan. a New Jersey
Brewing Corporation, which Is seek
ing to restrain enforcement OF the
eighteenth amendment in New Jersey.
The bill on complain in the case says
that 275 per cent beer Is not intoxicat-
ing and that such fact has boen def
nitcly determined and demonstrated
by experience"
"Thc question whether 2.75 percent
beer can hc sold after the eighteenth
amendment IS effective must be decid-
ed in the future" said Mr.. Ruckner.
Today's decision affects It's status only
under wartime prohibition. Today's
decision relates only to the war pow
crs Of congress. When the amend
mcnt Is effective questions Will be
raised not only as to the validity OF
it's passage but also whether or not
notwithstanding beer can be sold un-
der it,
Mr.. Buckncr saw a ray OF hope in
the fact that the court was divided
on today's decision. but was not en-
couragod by that portion Of the mai
ority decision saying that congress
had power to tx a standard OF alco-
holic content for the purposes Of cf~
fectivc enforcement. lie did not care
to predict whether this would be g.
controlling precedent when the court
came to pass on the validity OF 2.75
under constitutional prohibition.

itcly that his hat was in the ring and
that he would offer for reelection.
Mayor Babb has been mayor of the
city since 1908, except for one two
year term during which Mr.. J. C. Ow-
ings administered the city affairs.
Speculation as to opponents Of the
incumbent have been rife during the
past few weeks and several men have
been mentioned as possible contend
ers. Mr.. john A. Franks, who opposed
Mayor Babb in 1918, has been prom
inently mentioned. When asked sew
eral days ago as to his intentions. he
said that he had had the matter under
consideration but his present inclina-
ton was not to run. Capt w. r.

the matter under consideration but
that he would make no announcement

will be perfected for holding the cleo
ton besides election Of officers for

Aldcrmanic candidates have so far
been very modest, not yet showing
their heads above the cover. The on
ly activity among the smaller fry
seems TO be IN Ward 3, in which is To-
Gated the Laurens Cotton Mills. Among
those spoken OF as probable candidates
besides the incumbent Mr.. j. NJ. Hell
iams, are Mcssrs. II. p. Poole and jim
Lewis.

Farmer Killed
: By Tractor

Monroe, Sept. 14.-Tony Byl. a
farmer living a mile and a half west
of Monroe was killed by his tractor.
Byl's death probably was one OF the
strangest that has ever occurred In
this part of the state.
The crank shaft on this particular
make of tractor is placed high on
the car. 1t is believed that the mo-
tor back fired as Byl was cranking
it and that the handle of the crank
struck him on the head.
Mrs. Byl anxious because her hus-
band had not returned, went to look
for him. She found his body lying
in front of the tractors the skull
crushed and one arm broken. The
tractor had not been moved.

browns Self

Watertown, Sept. 1.-THE body
of man found drowned in Round
Lake, near South Shore, has been
identified as that of Daniel H. Her
bach, whose home is believed to
have been at Sioux City, la.
Evidences pointed so plainly to
suicide that it was deemed unneces-
sary for the county corner to inves-
tigate the drowning. He eveidently
took his own life by wading out into
the lake up to a point. where it was
waist-deep and holding his head
under the water. Little is known Of
him here or at South Shore. He was
about SO years of age.
In his pockets were found $13 in
cash and certificates of deposit
showing he had money in the Siou,
City bank.

Huge-SturgeOn Runs
Away With Boat

Pierre, Sept. 14.-To have his
boat stolen by fish is the story told
by f. Caldwell, an old fisherman,
who lives on the Missouri. river
front
His story is that while fishing up
near the Poria Bottom location, he
caught a 49-pound sturgeon, and
tied his catch to the side of the
boat
Later he caught a large catfish,
and while landing his second catch,
with the oars lying in the bottom
of the boat, the big sturgeon got in
to action, and Caldwell found him
self floundering in the water as the
boat half turned over, and then
Strengthened out and started rapidly
down stream.
Caldwell says he is getting toe
old to try to outswim fish and sc
he watched the fast disappearing
boat.
His partner, who was fishing some
distance down the river, saw the
boat flying along through the wa
ter and investigated, with the result
that the big sturgeon was agar
captured and put out of commission
for any further boat-stealing opera
tions.
