Appeal from Decatur District Gourt. Action before a justice of the peace upon an information against certain intoxicating liquors. The defendants, Bensberg & Cheadle, were served with notice under the supposition, as we infer, that they were the owners, or claimed to be. They appeared and demurred. The justice overruled the demurrer, and on trial rendered judgment that the liquor be forfeited. The defendants appealed, and in the district court insisted upon their demurrer, and the same was by that court overruled, and the appeal was dismissed. They now appeal to this court.
1Opinion of the CourtAdams, J.
The information was filed by one Mrs. Helen *301Cole, and shows that the informer “has reason to believe, and does believe, that at the O., B. & Q. Ely Co.’s depot building-in Leon, in said county, (of Decatur,) there is one barrel of whisky or wine, which is there on the platform of said depot, marked to B. & C.,Leon, Iowa, which affiant believes was for the purpose of being taken to the saloon of John Golden, or some other person, unknown to affiant, for the purpose of being sold in violation of the law of Iowa, and which is there kept for the purpose of being sold in violation of law.”
