This was an injunction proceeding to enjoin the collection of a fine and costs inflicted for selling under the old liquor law, the case having been tried after the taking effect of the liquor law of 1873. The said Felk held a license under the old law and violated it by selling to minors. The injunction was granted, because the Supreme Court have recently held that the new law repeals the old one, and that notwithstanding an individual may hold a license under the former, he is nevertheless subject to the penalties of the latter act. Injunctions were granted Henry Rief and Peter Pfalsgraff in similar cases.
