H. Stewart and Edie Gertrude Stewart,
both of 1853 Euclid street; James W.
Crabtree, 1904 Euclid street NV, and
Doshia B. Murray, 1863 Euclid street,
filed suit in District Court for the
injunction.
They previously had protested to the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
against granting of liquor or wine and
beer licenses in the subdivision.
Nevertheless, the licenses were granted.
Through Attorneys James c. Wilkes
and James E. Arts, they contended
that covenants running with the land
banned forever the sale of spirituous
beverages or the conducting of manu-
featuring or mechanical businesses.
The defendants contended the char
acter of the neighborhood had so
changed since the covenants were
executed that they were no longer
binding. and also the plaintiffs had
delayed too long in bringing their suit.
Chief Justice Wheat disagreed,
holding that the provision concerning
spirits, at least, was binding. He
made it clear that in his opinion the
covenant covered the sale, not only of
hard liquor, but Of wine and beer as

ONCE UPON NOV. IL


Few Canadians or Americans today
realize that two-thirds of Canada was
once in the possession of the United
States.
This was the case when Montreal
was captured 1862 years ago today by
800 men commanded by 39-year-old
Brig. Gen. Richard Montgomery. He,
the only U. S. general ever to invade
Canada successfully, was an Irish
born, ex-officer in the British Army.
All Canada might have become his
conquest and a permanent part of the
United States, had he not been killed
in an attack on Quebec, on the follow
.ng Dec. 81.
The British commander in Quebec
so admired Montgomery's gallant con-
duct he declared day of mourning
and had the foe buried with highest
honors!
Even more surprising, when the
news of Montgomerys death reached
London, Edmund Burke in Parliament
contrasted the condition of the 5000
British soldiers shut up in Boston,
starved and disgraced, with the move
nents of Montgomery 300 men who
in one campaign had conquered two
thirds of Canada, and moved Lord
North, the prime minister, to retort:
II cannot join in lamenting the
death of Montgomery as public loss.
