Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Eldredge

delivered the opinion of the court.

5. Intoxicating liquors—when prosecution should he in name of People of State. Where intoxicating liquors were sold in anti-saloon territory in a city whose ordinances provided for the licensing of dramshops and for a penalty for selling such liquors without having such license, held that a prosecution for selling such liquors should be in the name of the People of the State under the law by which the anti-saloon territory was created and not in the name of the city under such ordinances.
