Moonshine Still Destroyed by Revenue
Officers.

Five full barrels of whiskey were
shipped to Raleigh yesterday from
Durham. This was capture made
Saturday night near Durham by Dep
uty Collector Starkey Hare, of Raj
eigh and several other raiders of
Durham. The capture was the larg-
est ever made in Durham county, the
five barrels containing $50 gallons of
Whiskey, and eighteen stands of beer
were cut down.
The "moonshiners" in some man
ner received warning of the approach
of the laws bull dogs and the dis
tillers of illicit were not in evidence
when the officers took possession,
but a moment after the officers had
a small skirmish with unseen folk.
They were fired upon from ambush
and the fire was returned, bu no one
was hurt, and no damage was done.
The still, which was a large one.
had been pulled by the owner and
moved away before the officers ar
rived. But the beer stands could not
be moved The officers eighteen
stands of beer. containing over two
thousand gallons, and these were de-
stroyed.
About three quarters of a mile
from the site of the still the officers
found three barrels of whiskey in a
meadow, and near this they found two
additional barrels and a ten-gallon
runlet. This was seized by the agents
for Uncle Sam. One of the barrels
was not full and the runlet of whis-
key was used to fill this, making five
full barrels.
1t is thought by the revenue peo-
pie that the whiskey belonged TO the
same party who owned the horse,
wagon and whiskey recently captur-
ed by the officers This remains TO
be proved, however 1T is thought
that some arrests will follow.
