DOGS USED AS sENTINELs.
How "a Famous Moonshiner Long Evsded
Capture by Revenue Onicers.

Capture by Revenue Ohicers.
The most noted mountaineer in
West Virginia, and perhaps in Ken
lucky and North Carolina-Jim Day
has at last been captured. The
Government officers have been trying
20 arrest Day for over fifteen years,
but failed on every occasion. Day,
who Is "A tall, muscular, shrewd look
ing fellow, has been running Illicit
stills for over fifteen years. During
this time he had sometimes as many
as a dozen stills running at one time.
The stills were located in the depths
of the primitive forests or in caves in
the mountain sides, n long distance
from roadways and trails. The stills
were al ways located near SINE prom
inent height or at a point
from which IA guard or spy-constant-
~ on the alert-couid overlook all
approaches OF the vicinity OF sus-
picious looking strangers. In fifteen
wears only two OF Days stills have
been captured and DESTROYED On
each of these occasions Day and his
men all mace their escape. Time
and again revenue officers have at
tempted Ia waylay and ambush Day.
They found roads and trails over
which IL was known he would be
forced TO travel and they placed
squads in ambush, but, according 90
the St Louis Republic, although Day
had been seen or traced along the
road, he always slipped through their
fingers without n scratch.
At last his success In evading the
officers became known. Day had a
number OF thoroughbred dogs which
he bad trained TO scent out revenue
officers or strangers and To notify him
OF their presence long before they
could come in sight When travel
ing owe the routes or trails leading
20 and from any Of his stills two OF
Days dogs always trotted along in
front several hundred yards, taking
op losite sides OF n road. Two
would fall back in the rear and one
would advance like a scout on each
side. In case OF an ambuscade the
dogs in front would scent the pres
ence Of the Deputy Marshals before
they cot within 100 yards OF them.
They would then return quickly TO
their master and inform him by their
actions OF the presence OF the enemy.
Day would then take TO the woods TO
the right or left, with a dog In adj
vance, and pass around an ambus-
cadc without being seen. In case
pursuers should come up behind,
Days dogs, which had been trailing
along, would quickly hear or scent
them, and then would hurry forward
TO their master, who, knowing by
their actions how close the enemy
was, could easily evade them. With
such guards IL was almost useless for
the officers TO attempt TO capture
Day. They often gave up the search
In disgust TO start out a month or
two later reinvigorated and encour-
aged by rumors or reports OF spies, TO
fail again and again. Day could be
heard of in Mcdowell County, and
the next some one from Taswcll, In
| Virginia, fifty niles away, would re-
port that he had been seer In that
section. He proved TO be an ignis
fatuus 20 the officers, and although
they could hear OF half a dozen stills
running In as many places In the
mountains, the officers In the entire
fifteen years were successful only In
capturing two OF his stills.

THE GHOSTLY RIDER.

My shanty was situated in the Big
horn Mountains, Wyoming. With
the exception Of two companions and
some friendly trappers, who lived
about five miles distant, / had not
seen a white man for nearly a year.
One day / was OFT hunting with
Anderson Picket We had just
sighted an antelope and were occupied
in stalking the animal, when w sud-
denly heard the neighiDg Of a horse
near Us. Surprised at such an un-
sual sound in a neighborhood where
very few human beings were TO be en-
countered, we looked uD and saw,
hardly 800 PAGES from US, a rider
whose head was uncovered and his
long hair floating in the wind that
blew across the hills. He was a
white-faced, haggard man, mounted
on a thin hoIse.
For a few seconds he remained
m%otionless. and then disappeared as
suddenly as he had come.
"a highwayman," whispered
Picket.
What should "A marauder be doing
here?" replied, doubtfully, 'for a
distance OF three or four hundred
miles no one, with the exception of
Won. myself and the trappers upon
the creek. can be found. Not a single
soul TO hold up Let us SEE who the
fellow is"
Quickly mounting our horses and
dropping our game for the time be-
ing. we galloped up the hill, follow
ing the stranger, who was slowly rid
ing toward the North.
That animal hasn't had much
fodder or rest lately" laughed my
companion. 'Ill wage he hasn't
ten pounds Of flesh on his bones"
"I'd like to know who the man is,
and what he is doing alone in these
solitary hills" said l, inquisitively.
Come, get a gait on the horse, let's
get our game and follow the fellow.
After acting upon the suggestion
we returned TO our pursuit, and were
hardly a hundred PAGES behind him
when ! shouted:
"Hello, my man! Where are you
bound for?:"
The horse turned its head toward
us, but the rider did not move, and
immediately started OF at a break
neck gallop Although We were well
mounted and endeavored To follow
him, he Don disappeared in a path
thickly overgrown with brushwood.
We consequently lost scent OF the
fugitive and my companion very
sensibly observed that we had better
not follow him, as he might easily
blow out IA brains. under shelter OF
the rocks or hidden behind the brush
wood, before we were aware OF his
presence. We therefore retraced our
steps toward our cabin. which we
reached an hour later.
My second companion. who in con-
sequence of a slight wound had re.
NAMED at home, anne toward US in
great excitement
Pm glad you're back, boys" he
cried.
Heavens. man. what has hap
peDed?" / asked anxiously.
He va "a white as d corpse and
sighed as If relieved, when we reached
hiru.
1T was awful, i tell you, awful.
In all my life / shall never forget
what has happened 10 me-"
Come along, stop your ~Quaking,
and tell us what's wrong. Seen any
suckers or a ghost?" said / sm'lingly,
while Anderson added impatiently:
You've had a visit haven't you?

However, he was a dancing man and
