MOONSHINERS CAPTURED.
United States MarshaIs Arrest Ten
Citizens of Hardeman Coun-
ty for Making Illicit
Whiskey.

United States Marshal j. w. Brown
and Deputy Internal Revenue Col
lector j. ID. Tarlant returned las
night from Hardeman county. where
they made the most succ essful moon
shine raid that has been made In
years. They destroyed three distil-
leries, captured ten men, tOrtyAgal-
Ion barrel of whisky and lot of malt
The prisoners are bound over to ap-
pear before the United States Court
that convenes in jackson to- morrow.
For three years the law>abiding
people of Hardeman have been COM
planning of the lawlessness of the gang
captured, bat until this time the of
fcers have not been able to trace
the charges to the right parties.
Early in the week officers went to
Selmer. There Marshal Brown, Dep
uty Collectors j. ID, Tarrant and Z.
E. Bell, Deputy Marshals f. ID. Col
lier, Robert league, Wright FL. Smith
and one or two others started across
the country in buggies TO the MOON
shine neighborhood. The distance is
about thirty miles, and the first pris-
oners were captured about 3 O'Clock
Friday morning. The distilleries,
three in number, were destroyed first,
but the work was so quietly done
that no sound reached the sleeping
proprietOrs three-quarters OF a mile
away. The stills were not running,
but were in running order and were
totally annihllated.
The prisoners captured were Ike
Scott, Sandy Scott, John tawcett
and his sons, Charles, George and Ell.
John Fawcett was the father-in>law
of the Scots. In addition there
were Bob Doris, Will Stills, John
Breeder and Westbrook.
John Fawcett owns a farm, and
was at one time weII-to>do man un-
til he entered this business. Now
he is Stunned by his better neighbors,
his fences have gone to rack, and
general air of neglect and consequent
dilapidation prevails. He Is ten or
twelve miles from Bolivar and about
eight miles from Toone Station. He
has two- story house that was form
erly an ornament to the country. In
the garrett of this house the officers
found the forty gallon barrel of whis>
ky and corn soaking for malt.
George Fawcett, a married son of
John Fawcett, owns water-power
mill across the road from his father,
aud in this milf the corn was ground.
Ia this mill Was found a sack of malt.
The proof is said to be clear and
conclusive on all sides and impli-
Gates all parties. The Fawcett boys,
who are single, pleaded guilty to the
charge and try to shoulder the whole
burden OF transgression that they
may save their kinsmen, who have
families.
The stills were located from three
fourths to a mile and halt from the
