Amador ledger., 1903-01-16
Looking for Moonshiners.

Three mysterious individuals, wear
ing badges indicative of federal authori-
ties, have been causing no little un-
easiness and discussion in Calaveras
county for the past two weeks, es-
pecially in the West Point district. 1t
is thought they are on still hunt for
Illicit distillers. They say nothing,
offer no explanation of their move
ments, except to show their badges.
Arriving at farm house they go into
the barn without consulting anyone,
pull wagons and other Instructions out
of the way and ransack every nook and
corner of the premises. They depart
as they came, without offering any
reason for their conduct to the wonder
struck proprietor. These are the same
tactics that were employed in Amador
county year or two ago when United
States officers made tour of suspected
places in search of contraband brandy.
1t is said that the authorities suspect
that considerable brandy is made in the
region now being patroled by the of.
fcers, and that three illicits have been
destroyed there in the past year,
although no arrests were made.
