lowa Purchasers May Recover Every Doilar That They Pay. Des Moines, la., May 23 —The supreme court has decided that every dollar paid for liquor that is to be sold contrary to Jaw may be recovered from the person or firm to whom it is paid. That under the law the money is received with that express understanding. A Des Moines dealer recovered about $3,000 in this case from a Peoria brewing firm, besides about the same amount of liquor that he had received and had not paid for. The decision covers bottles, cases, etc., in which the liquor is contained.
