BREWERS MUST PAY LICENCE.
Judge Stone handed down a decision
last week that means a great deal to
brewing companies outside of the
state that do business within the state.
The ca.e came up in the Delta county
circuit under the title of The People
Vh .Clayton Voorhis.
The defendant in the case is the
ageut, at Gladstone, of thw Minneapolis
Brewing companny. The beer has been
shipped to him from Minneapolis and
put in cold storage, from which later
it has been distributed among the sa
loons which patroniz-) tne brewery.
Neither Voorhis nor his company have
ever taken out a license, and it was
contended by the counsel for the de
fendants that the terms of the statutes
did not require that either of them do
so. Voorhis, however, in accordance
with the findings of the court, is found
guilty of baring technically violated
the liquor law, but judgment Is sus
jiended pending action by the higher
tribunal, which is certain to be asked
to review the proceedings.
In brief, the court holds that brew
ers who manufacture their product
ontside the state are liable to the an
ual f.100 wholesale license at each and
every town in the commonwealth where
they sell beer through an agent. The
decision is bated on the Wilson bill a
mendment to the interstate commerce
law, approved in August, 1890, under
the terms of which beer, when brought
to the state from outside points for
the purpose of sale, leeome subject to
the police laws of the commonwealth
and cannot be sold unless the right to
so do has first been secured by payment
of the tax provided by the state statutes.
It was claimd by counsel for the de
fendant that should outside brewers bo
taxed the for the wholesale license,
it would Is discrimination against
him. since .-;: which the home brewer
pays for his manufacturer's license
gives, also, the right to sell. In ans
wer to this.it is set forth that the non
resident has the same privilege of man
ufacturing beer within the liorders of
the state as has the resident, and that
therefore there was ho discrimination.
Should the dec ision stand, and it is
a notorious fact that Judge Stone's de
cisions usually stand, it will eiTect the
Pabst and Blatz companies doing bus
iness in this city.
FELL OFF A TRESTLE.
John Carlson, a lander at the Bristol
mine, fell from the trestle last Monday
and received injuries that are apt to
cripple him for the rest of his life.
He was working around the car which
carries the ore from the dump to the
pile ami in some way lost his bal
ance ani fell to the pile below, a dis
tance of .'50 feet. He struck on his back
and broke the pelvis bone of his right
hip. He was taken to his loarding
house and every a-istance that can le
given is given him. Carlson is a young
man alxmt '.'" years of age. He has an
accident policy and a hospital ticket
but don t want to go to a hospital.
j A NARROW" ESCAPE.
j I'lK le Rell SilT treated the people e.f
jthe city to another run-away and an-jotlp-r
mir.icul'-iH escape. Mr. Sirr holds
jthe record of the reate-t. number of
narrow escape from runaways of any
man that we know of, so much so in
I deed, that the "nine lives" charm of
j the cat seem-; to apply to him. His
la-t mishap was on Superior avenue
Saturday morning. He had traded
horse with Ericlc Ericksou and the
i liew hore objected to his mode of pj-o-I
j cedure and started on a Nancy Hanks
'pace down the street. When in front
j of the Mc Laren barn Mr. irr was
.thrown with great force from the rig
and landed on his back on the side
walk. The spectators thought that he
was killed but he picked himself up
nnhurt and started in pursuit of his
horse. The mail wa not delayed in
the least.
COUNT YBOARD MET.
j The last meeting of the county board
of supervisors wa held in the clerk's
(office this week occupying three days.
J There was just a quorum present. The
first day was devoted to pacing upon
a few resolutions and, owing to Mr.
(Jibson's having to leave, the meeting
was adjourned in the afternoon until
the following day.
The next morning the loard tackled
the claims. A. J. VanAuda had a
claim In for payment on somn outlaw
ed orders but that was finally disposed
of. Then came up the printing bilLj.
The American, The Diamond Drill
and thi Reporter had in claims for
printing the liquor tax report. The
custom always has been in this county,
and we notice that it is the same in
other counties, to run the report three
weeks and the bill of the last two pa
pers was for that time three weeks at
the legal rates of seventy cents for the
first folio and thirty-rive cents for sub
sequent issues. In rule and figure
work the world over the rale is to pay
double measure. Mr. McDouell, who
is new to the work, evidently did not
understand this rule among printers
and figured it single measure whereas
the others had double measure. A kick
was registered and the matter was fin
ally settled by disallowing Mr. Mc
Donald's bill and allowing the others
at the price put in by McDonald. $0.00
where as the work as originally figured
amounted to if 'i3. 00. The prosecuting
attorney had a report on the questions
asked him by the board at a former
meeting regarding the duties of a mine
inspector and the collecting for the
diphtheria cases in Am'asa.
The petition of the County Surveyor
to be made the custodiau of the field
notes came up and the board thought
that, as suit was pending it was
better to let the Court settle the matter.

BOTTLE BURST.
Chas. Franconie was hurt in a pecu
liar way last Monday morning. During
the night the pop that he had on hand
froze and he put a case of tattles near
the stove next morning to thaw out.
He took a bottle out of the cast, after
they had len near the fire for some
time, to see if it was thawed and held
it at arms' length about even with his
fac. J,nst as he went to put the bot
tle back it exploded and a pier of
glass struck him in the neck. lie had
a sweater on and the collar was double
so that the glass had to cat through
that before cutting him. But for this
fact it would have cut half" through his
throat for, as it was, it cut both folds
of the sweater and put a gash a quarter
of an inch deep in his throat. Luckily
none of the large veins were severed.
The gash was so long that it required
Yl stitches to close it up.
A DASTARDLY ACT.
March 17. Myron Seymour, a well
known resident of Stephenson, Mich.,
drove to the home of his cousin,
John Seymour, in the same town, en
tered tho house, went upstairs and
without a word of warning shot Mrs.
Seymour, who was playing with her
children. The bullet entered the wo
man's right cheek. The wound is con
sidered serious aud her recovery is re
ported to be doubtful.
Alter committing the act Seymour
ran from the house and drove in haste
in a northerly direction. Sheriff Car
ley of Stephenson was Immediately no
tified and with a fast team set out in
chase. Telegrams were sent to neigh
boring towns and it is thought that
every possible avenue of escape has been
cut ort. No motive for the net has yet
been learned.
ALDERMAN BRVSON.
The city council made an excellent
appointment of an alderman from the
fust ward last Mondav evening when
Peter Bryson was chos'-n to iepieent
that district. Mr. Br son is head
machinist at the (treat Western shops
and a man of good sound judgement.
He will without doubt prove to be a
(hmI man oii'the council.
