Miscellaneous,

CAPT. C. C. SHEARS last week made a
raid in the mountains of Johnson Coun-
ty, where he destroyed two Illicit distil-
leries and over 1000 gallons of beer and
whisky. Daniel Stout, the owner of
one of the distilleries, was captured,
but the Pierce brothers, owners of the
other one, escaped. They are the
toughest characters in all the mountain
country. tsu,

shooting caused panic among men,
women and children. Fortunately no
one was seriously injured. The police

and cannot live.
The men were on their way to raid a

Capt. Spurrier left the custom-house
here some days ago he told the internal
revenue collector, ID. A. Num-, that he
had located twenty barrels of Illicit
brandy at point about ten miles from
Lincoln postofice, and that he was going
down to seize it. Spurrier showed a
letter that he had received from an in
formant in Lincoln County telling ex-

to reach it, naming every by-path and
the roads to be crossed. It was not
known that the other two officers we're
