officers, composed of Deputy Collectors +.

Grange, y. @. Oattis. Of this city, and
Deputy Marshal Cornett. left Columbus
to make raid on a wildcat still, situated
in Harris county, just above the Musco-
gee line. They left the city in two bug
giles, and several hours afterwards arrived

was found on the Cash plantation, about
sixteen miles from this place on the Ham
ilton road. on their approach two men
ran from the little shanIy in which IL was
situated to the woods where they escaped.
The revenue officers then began their
work Of destroying the still. and while so
doing were fired upon from the thlcket near
by. Capt. Ware and Deputy Cornett re-
turned the mOonshiner's fire and started
in pursuit of them, but the miscreants es

left the scene at once, but had only pro-
ceeded about 200 yards when they were
fred upon the second time by a party of
the moonshiners with shot guns and pis-
tolls, who had evidently been reinforced,
as at least i've men took part on their
side in the battle The officers returned
the fire again, but as their foes We're in the
dark IL is not known whether any of their
shots took effect or not. A any rate the
party IN ambush was put TO night and the
officers continued their journey to this
city, where they arrived about midnight.
Col. Dismukes and Capt. Oattis, who were
in the first buggy, escaped without injury,
though the horse which they drove was
wounded in several places, and had to be
left at farm house near the scene of ac-
ton, where they borrowed a mule. Capt
Ware and Deputy COrnett were not so
fortunate, however. as the former was
slightly wounded on the ear, while the lat
ter received three shots in his neck. The
officers claim they know who did the
shooting, and expect to bring them to JUS
tice speedily.
