MoONSHINERS MUST GO
Revenue Agents Attacks Upon Illicit
Whisky Manufacture

1--WE are making life wearisome for the
Arkansas moonshiners,' said Col. w. s.
Wheeler, special agent of the revenue de-
partment, who was at Collector Withers'
office yesterday, checking the records of
his department. "Since the present cam
paign was opened against them we have
landed 35 of them, and we will get the rest
very shortly and absolutely clean out the
business in Northern Arkansas" he con-
tinued. 1.-The moonshiners shot posse of
officers there last fall and killed some of
them. Then the department gave orders
to clean out the gang, and we are doing 1t.
The hunt is on, and the game will be caught
or run out OF the country"
The horde of moonshiners that came into
Arkansas and Missouri along the line were
from Georgia principally. Three years age
war was opened on them there. and they
were hunted so hard that they had te
leave. The unfrequented woods and hills OF
Arkansas gave many of them a hiding
place, while others went into the Ozarks
They were chased SO hard by officers under
the late Gen. 10 Shelby that they had to
leave Missouri, and they went into the Ar
kansas mountains. When a posse of de-
putty marshals and revenue agents started
after them, they were led into ambush and
four killed. 1t was war then, and every
man who refused to aid the federal officers
was arrested. The spies for the moonshin-
ers were shot or captured. The war has
been relentless. When clear case against
a man was made out, so heavy bond was
required that he could not give 1t. and as
they were gathered behind the bars the
business lost it's allurements.
In chasing them out Of the Ozarks Gen.
Shelby's men had repeated shooting
scrapes and wounded several men. The
St. Louis marshals have captured num-
ber of the men, and the business Is Just
about wound up.-Kansas City Journal.
