For Central Executive Committee.

The Federal Revenue authorities have lust
uncarthcl the facts i'll one of the most re-

hill sloning toward the stream and the
warehouses contained ten thousand gallons
OF corn wnIshcy. TLtum at once closed the
hstilericS. The warehouses were Ucked
and the government seal attached, it being
the purpose of the owner to hold the wins
key three years, as allowed by law, before
paying the tax. During the latter pant Of
August last, Collector Iowues wrote to Ta.
tum scvcra' times, telling him that the three
years wcre about to expire and urging him
to make really TO comply with the law.
Now on the night of September >, two days
hcl"ic the expiration Of the time, three of
the dslilcrics were burned 10 the ground
The fourth contained on ly seventy gallons oil
whlskcy. Thinking something was wrong
the government detailed Deputy Collector
Wandoriord and King to conduct an inv cs-
tlgaion. These officers, visiting the burned
buildings expecting to find the ground sat
nraicd for many feet around, where the

the staple Of the door. They Inserted one
end Of rubber hose into barrel, and

placed the other end in barrel at the foot

barrel i'll The house were symponcd. This
process was repeated night after night un-

operate deliberately aud avoid detection,
which would have resulted had they hauled
away large Iuaniry at one time After all
the W lus key had been thus rcmovd from the
barrels. the robbers got together and filled
