FARMERS DEFRAUD THE GOVERNMENT
Several TiIIers Of the Soil Of Dubois
County Put on the Green Carpet.

Through the detective ability OF
John Chewing, the travelling rev.
enue collector of this district, a
number OF farmers in Dubois coun-
ty, who have been escaping the pay
ment Of government tax for a num-
Der OF years, have been brought to
time.
A farmer named John Burning,
living near Birdseye, Dubois coun-
ty. was at the head Of the little cir
Gle, and be has not only promised
not to evade the law any more, but
has been forced to pay big LOT OF
back tax.
Burning, for the past several
years, has been buying whisky in
Louisville by the barrel. He had
number of farmers on his staff to
whom he would sell the liquor.
Some would take gallon, others
several gallons. In this way the
farmers would escape the payment
of the wholesale and retail tax.
Many OF the farmers who secured
the liquor from Burning we're deal
ers on q small scale, and what they
beat the government out OF in the
course OF year amounted to con-
siderable.
Collector Chewing heard OF the
scheme Of Burning some time ago,
| and went to see him al his Dubois
county home Monday afternoon.
He asked Burning to pay the back
tax and this he agreed to do, and
gave Mr.. Chewing his personal
3 check Of 1925. The farmer ad-
mitted he had been buying liquor
for his friends, but said he had nc
knowledge Of the liquor law, and
thought he should not be required
! to pay the tax. The collector
Threatened him however with pros
ecution and the farmer finally came
3 up with the money. and the amoun
) he paid to Mr.. Chewing covers thu
/ license, both lretail and wholesale
8 for the past two years.
The farmers when they heard o
the visit of Collector Chewing t
Dubois county were upin arms, ant
i many threats, it Is said, were made
They did not like the idea of rev
enue man interfering with what the.
!. call their personal rights. Collecto
d Chewing believes there are othe
d violations Of a similar character il
| the district, and he will make
. Thorough investigation along thi
IL line.
10 Mr.. Chewing has received wor
from Washington to the effect thi
his territory has been reduced, an
=. he will have fewer duties in the fl
p, ture. Pike, Dubois and Gibso
III counties have been taken from thi
III district, and the following countie
to remain: Posey, vanderburg, Wa
a rick, Spencer and Perry. Til
10 three counties taken from this dis
bit trict have been placed in the distri'
rs al the head Of which is Captain c
erW. Fawcett, who was supercede
by Mr.. Chewing.

OUNTtRFEITERS NABBED.
Two Miller Brothers of Tennessee
Caught Showing the Queer.

Officer Joe X. Twyman, assisted
by officers / B. Morris and w. H.
Nixon, did some fine detective work
Friday night, by which two showers
of the queer were landed behind
the bars. Spurious five-dollar bills,
made by raising 81 bills, made
their appearance in the city early
in the week, being worked off on
innocent parties. Officer Twyman
set out to find the coLnterfeiters
and struck a hot trail about
o'clock Saturday morning, when
Nettie Wilson. the keeper of a house
north of town, telephoned that one
of the SIS bills had been passed on
her. She made the man refund the
good money given as change and he
got away before the oficeTs could
catch him. After an all night
search, this man and his brother
were found sleeping in the loft of
livery stable. They were taken by
surprise ard arrested withIa supply
ofSf'bllls and a roll Of the raised So
bills on their persons. Their names
were J. Z. Miller and c. j. Miller;
the first named claims to be deputy
sheriff OF Stewart county, Tenn.
Officer Twyman also arrested Gid
knight, who was with Miller at the
Wilson house and acted as, middle
man in changing the raised bill.
The three men were tried before
Judge Bell Saturday and Knight,
who appeared to be ignorant of the
character OF the bill given him by
Miller to get changed, was acqurt
ted. The two Millers were nelc
under $1,000 bonds.
Officer Tvyman deserves ESPECIAL
praise for the excellent detective
work he did and the persistence
with which he prosecuted the
search tor the men. One Of them
wanted to confess to save his BROTH
er, but was not permitted to do so,
as the case is strong enough
against both of them to convict.

ped for the discussion of the new
