DECISION CUT LEGAL TANGLE
Point Involved In English Lawsuit
:. Seems Hardly Worth the Time
81. f., and Money Expended.

On the last day Of the last month
in the year 1909 very curious legal
battle was fought between the English
crown and gentleman, lord OF the
manor of Holderness; it was strug-
gle for a cask Of wine thrown upon
the seashore on the coast OF that par
ticular manor.
The lords bailiffs and the customs
officers both raced to the spot and the
contending parties each laid hold OF
the cask, Then the officers decided
to- 60 back to the custom house for
further instructions, and during their
absence the bailihfs removed the cask
to the cellar of@the manor house.
At the trial the arguments on both
sides were very learned and exceed
ingly lengthy. The decision OF the
court was In fas "a Of the lord on the
grounds that no Ssrmit is required TO
remove sArits unless It has paid duty;
that wins to be. liable to duty must
be imported; that wine cannot be Inn
ported =-a Itself, but requires the The

origin Of the Name "snl.a.Bar."

s.s.a OTl0In OF tuo Ndm0 SUs'a.0
This story is told regarding the ori-
gin of the name Of Sni-a-Bar creek.
The story runs that in an early day a
Frenchman named Abar was ascending
the Missouri river in a Canadian boat.
Just below the present site OF the
town of Wellington he came to the
mouth Of little river or creek.
"See now, my children; here we
have a sni, placed BY the good God
for our backs relief" he said. "A
little breathing space, a quiet time
resting from the river. All. the
dear sni!"
Sni is French for slough. Abar fan.
cied he had struck a quiet loop OF
backwater which would lead him again
to- the river. In mile or two. But In
a mile 1t became apparent that it was
no slough. but a small stream. And
SO the boat was turned and poled back
to the Missouri. From this circum-
stance the creek was called Sni-a- Bar,
from the word "sni' and the name Of
the Frenchman. Abar. 4. .s. .i sf
