Pacific Brewing Company, of lAs
toria. lhe latter consignments of beer,
the district attorney, asserts,
were shipped to Roseburg and sold
by the Roseburg Brewing & Ice Com
pany contrary to the local option
laws. Believing that the local brew
ery had purchased large quantities of
beer from outside breweries in the
year 1911 and being desirous of in
troducing this evidence during the
trial of the quo-warranto proceed
ings, the district attorney thought
it best to dismiss the former action
and s.art over with a new complaint
founded upon tho new matter brought
to light.
This gave the district attorney an
opening and he asked permission to
file a second complaint against the
brewery. V
This request was granted by Judge

gon upon the information of said

Through bin ability to Institute
new proceedings against tho brewery
District Attorney Drown nays ho has
a much stronger case than at the
time the original complaint was filed,

plaint made no reference to the prac

district attorney contends should be
sufficient to show that the brewery
