FOUND A STILL
IS
IN JEFFERSON
Revenue Officers Have a Lively
TuSSIe.
HAND TO HAND CONFLICT
Deputy Marshal Vaughan and One of
the Moonshiners Fell Into Pond
Three Were Captured
and Still Destroyed

The revenue officers had lively tussel
with moonshiners early yesterday morning
near Argo, in this county and succeeded in
capturing a thirty-gallon copper still and
three men, who are charged with operating
it.
Some days ago information was received
that a still was being operated in that
neighborhood, and on Friday afternoon
Deputy Collector Hanlin and Deputy Mar
shall Vaughan left the city on a tour of in
vestigation.
The officers hired a team at the railroad
station where they got off, and after night
fall started into the mountains to look for
the sinners
They arrived in the vicinity of the still
about l o'clock yesterday morning, aud af-
ter secreting the horses and wagon they
waited patiently and shortly after discover
ed light far down in the valley. They
searched for path leading down to the
place, and being unable to find one, started
through the bushes, crawling on their
hands and knees, followed by the driver of
the team. They approached cautiously and
soon discovered that the still was in opera
ton.
nan ACROSS Two men
A short distance from the still they came
upon a path, which led to the still house.
About this time two of the sinners start
ed up the path towards them, little dream
ing that the revenues were so near.
Quick as flash the officers were on their
feet, and as the men came opposite them
Mr.. Hanin and Mr.. Vaughan grabbed
them.
The men resisted and made desperate
effort to escape, but the officers hung on
with bulldog tenacity and soon Mr.. Han
lin had his man subdued. The man whom
Mr. Vaughan tackled had revolver in his
hand and attempted to shoot the officer,
but Mr.. Vaughan was too quick for him
and the bullet went wide of its mark. In
the struggle Mr.. Vaughan and the noun
taineer fell into small pond and the Off
Ger came up with tight grip on his ad-
yersary and caused him to surrender.
Driver Charged the still
When the excitement was at its height
the driver charged into the still house
with drawn revolver which he fired into
Tie air. Three men and a 14-year-old boy
We're at work in the house, and all of them
except one of the men took to their heels.
he plucky driver made an effort to stop
the flight, but only succeeded in catching
the boy, who, because of his age was
afterwards released.
The man in the still house was placed
under arrest, and the three prisoners were
securely handcuffed, and in a few minutes
the still was fit material for junk pile
The prisoners were then taken to the
wagon and were brought to this city and
placed in Jail.
The men arrested were: Sam Coleman.
John Keith and Troy Neetum, well-to-do
farmers, who are well known in that part
of the county.
