BLIND TIGER LAW RULING.

Court Holds Officers Have Right to Sleze and Destroy Liquors. The sections* of the blind tiger act which provide for the seizure and destruction of intoxicating liquors kept for unlawful sale are constitutional. The Supreme Court last Friday so decided in /affirming the case of Samuel A. Rose vs. the State, from White county. The affidavit on which Rose’s liquor was seized described the place to be searched as the “room, outhouse, yard, garden and appurtenances thereto belonging, occupied by said Samuel A. Rose and situated,’’ etc. (describing the location.) The court held this sufficient under the constitution. Rose kept a saloon at Monon, but was remonstrated out of business. A raid was made on his place some time after his license had expired and a dray load or more of liquor seized. Judge Hanley of Rensselaer heard the case as special judge in the White circuit court.
