A curious libel suit has been brought in Oberlin, Ohio, growing out of last Winter's Pro- hibition crusade, in which a druggist seeks to ascertain how far the odium theologicum is justified in its pursuit of his manner of conduct- ing business. The plaintiff in the case is Frank E. Bronson, a seller of drugs in the above reform town of Ohio, and the defendant is the Rev. James Brand, pastor of the First Congregational Church in the same place.
The druggist, it is to be presumed, defied the sentiment of the community not only by selling drugs liquors themselves, but introduced them by based upon intoxicating liquors, and the various subtle and strategic devices into soda and mead and other cheenog drinks that do not names and hieroglyphics which were easily de- ciphered by the initiated. The crusaders made his store the objective point of their fiercest attack. They wrestled with him, and prayed with him, but to no purpose. They then laid siege to his store, and with fresh relays kept it MR JOHN R
Then some of the bolder besiegers ventured admission, but still the druggist was obdurate. within the enemy's lines, only to find them selves incontinently fired out. Asuults from When they sang psalms on the sidewalk worldly songs would be heard within, sung with slentoring voices. Appeals from without met with defiance within. At last the circumvalin- tion became so complete and the enemy's intrenchments were pushed up so close that all communication was cut off. The druggist found himself exposed not only to the rifle shots of the columbiad, the Rev. James Brand, who from besiegers' pickets, but to the heavy fire of their the adjoining eminence of the Congregational pulpit sent in redhot shell. At last the druggist appealed to the courts for protection and was sustained, and he victoriously held the fort forces withdraw. He has now begun suit for and fired a salute as he saw the besieging libel against the columbiad, claiming $30,0 damages by reason of a sermon which the minister delivered and had printed. In that sermon the drug store was called the worst whiskey shop in town. The druggist was charged with secrecy, hypocrisy, lying, and the ulter wreck of every moral sense. He used profane language towards the crusaders. He encouraged himself, in a manner contrary to that of well- small boys and youths to revile, them, and he SHIPCHANDLERS, regulated diuggists, appeared before them "in some ghastly dress or disguise." These accu the pururation, which was worked up to a climax sations, however, were mild as compared with with a sort of Wagnerian crescendo worthy to compare with the horrors in Klingson's chamber of supernatural rites. An extract will give the reader some idea of the preacher's vigorous and drawing a mental and moral silhouet of the drug robust style in dealing with the druggist. After sapostrophized and rent it:
