After the killing of Bart Thrasher and

Deputy Collectors Dave Hughes and
Henry Cole made a raid, capturing and
destroying the still. Eleven fermenters,
ten gallons of whisky and other fixtures
were also destroyed.
Deputy Hughes, on his return last
night, was seen by a State Herald re-
porter and stated that after making the
capture they located the hiding place, of
Thrasher and his pals. Near the still
they discovered an opening about 3x6
rect In a. rock bluff. On entering they
discovered that cavern had been ex-
cavated in all directions to the size of
a medium room Old cooking utensils,

scattered around in the cavern.
Deputy Hughes said that it would have

Death of q Famoua Dor.

Members Of the fre department of this
city. who at some time or other during the
last decade have bsen members Of truck
A company b. c. F. D., will be sorry to
learn of the death Of old Schneider" the
famous fire dog of that company.
Schneider is dead, and the members
Of truck A company are in mourning At
the time of his death Schneider was over
fourteen years old. and for oven ten years
had been part and parcel of the hook and
ladder company on North Capitol street.
In his younger days Schneider would ac-
company the truck to all the fires, rum
ming ahead of the horses to warn all of its
approach, but in his old age he remained at
the Eouse. when the company went on a
run" to guard against intruders. Nobly
and well did he perform his duties, and in
consequence he had many friends.
Schneider" had a peculiar dislike for q
policeman, and, it is claimed, could identify
an officer of the law in citizens clothes.
Sometimes Schneider" left the house with
cut his collar and tag. and recently on one
or these occasions, he was captured by
the Cog catchers'' and neld several days
before being released. This confinement, no
doubt. hastened his death, as it was the
first time his liberty had been restrained.

and encouraging. The society has per-
formed a great and lasting work in afford
