Whisky Captured.
Gastonia dispatch of May l, to Charlotte
Observer: Deputy Collector Loftin and
his assistants brought three wagon loads
of contraband whisky into town this
morning, 500 gallons in all, captured be-
tween Dallas and Cherryville, from par
ties supposed to have come from Davie
county. The wagons and teams were
seized about 10 o'clock last night, but the
whisky had been unloaded and conceal
ed, and was not found until O'Clock this
morning. The parties in charge of the
teams fled, taking one horse with them.
1t is thought these parties have evaded
the revenue officers and passed through
this section before with illicit spirits.
The five horses, three wagons and whisky
are estimated to be worth not less than
81 900, and is one of the biggest hauls OF
the kind ever made in this section.
