SHIPLEY IVIWS FIRST BLOOD

BATTLE

Prosecutor and Marshal Are Restrained from Seizing Liquor Bernetha Grants Injunction Saturday Evening.

In the legal battle between the state of Indiana on one side, and Edward Shipley on the other to determine iwlhethcJr or not the latter, who ' is a saloon keeper in the city of Plymouth, should have closed his doors when the other saloons went out on 'Wednesday June 2nd, or whether he can operate until October 3rd of this year, the fvrst Wood was won 4y Shipley Saturday night when his attorneys' Charles1 Kellison and H. A. Logan, were ranted a temporary restraining order against John Zeidcr, Daniel Jacoby marshal of Plymouth, and Harry L. Unger prosecuting attorney of this the 41st judicial district, to keep them from seizing or taking Jiqu'ors- or property of Shipley. The case will 'be tried before Judge Bernetha in chambers at Rochester, cm Friday! afternoon, of this week at 1:30 o'clock. History cf the Case. A hrief history of the case, and the contentions of Shrpley on one hand and the tstate on the other, is as follows: In Septemfber of last year Edward Shipley advertised that he would ask the county commissioners, at their next sessaon, for a license lo sell liquors, in a new building on Michigan street. Accordingly, when the commissioners, met and application was made, the license was granted by that body, on October 3rd, 1908. However, the building which Shipley was to occupy was not completed, and the license was not paid for, or taken out until December 5tn, 1903. Now the state maintains thait the license was not in effect, or really issued, until it was taken out, or paid for. Upon this phase, the case rests. The local option law, watch went into effect by the proclamation of Governor Hanly on November 20th, -puj the local option l'aiw into effect at that time. This law provides that in holding a local option, election, if a county votes dry, all saloon (licenses granted after the pas-s-age of the. Taw, shall terminate in ninety days. All licenses granted before the passage of the law shall of course not he affected, and continue until the expiration of their license. ' The defense in the Shipfley case maintains that their .license, was granted on October 3rd, or before the law went into effect, consequently, the license 0perates until October 3rd, next. The state says- that the license was not granted,, until it went info effect, or 'betfofre it was? paid for, iwhich was on .December 5th, or after the law went into effect. The case is novel, being 'lie first of its kind jn the state Prosecutor Files Charge. Accordingly iwhen it was seen that Shipley Was operating, on June 3rd, when the state maintained he s-hould close, a charge of selling liquoT without a license was made by John Zeider 'for the state. A search warrant was issued by Justice B. M. Seybold to search for, arid destroy liquor under the Blind Tiger act, if any could be founid in the Shipley saloon. The attorneys- for Shipley went to Indiauaipdlis Saturday afternoon and as'ked for a restraining order, which was granted. The case will be tried on Friday afternoon, and is watched 4th Class Postmaster Examination.
