Suit in which Neff sues Landis over cigars
The case of A. P. Neff vs Jacob R. Landis was heard in court for replevin to decide ownership of two cases of cigars. G. G. Landis advertised for 20,000,000 cigars.

After testimony, the defendant’s counsel moved for non-suit asserting a sale and delivery with no collusion. the court granted the non-suit.
