In all those years Mr. IIXland took only one yacatiou That was eight years ago, when he went to New York 10 buy horses. He had such all eX- perience with moonshiners who mis- took him and his party for revenue of ficers, that he never cared to leave Chicago again.
 When Mr Hyland went into Ken lucky to buy horses. according to one of his friends in the fire alarm of flee he learned Of :; string of thor oughbreds in the mountains. He started over the mountains. but had not gone far when he and his party were captured by moonshiners and kept for several days in cave with little or nothing to eat.
 The moonshiners finally accepted the explanation of the Illinois men that they had gone into that wild re- zion to buy horses and released them, but they were allowed to proceed to their destination only under escort of two men, one of whom remained con- stantly with them. The other noun taineer went on ahead half day's journey. The party was allowed to look at the horses, but not to take them away Arrangements were made to deliver them at town by the mountaineers, and the horses were there at the appointed time.
 Often when any one would drop into the fire alarm office Mr. Hyland would tell the story of the mountain trip and how they got their whisky by leav- ing a couple of jugs with a silver dol lar under each of them about 100 would go back and find the jugs filled. \ very interesting story has been written dealing with these peculiar people. entitled, The Moonshiner's $ Daughter" which with carload of special scenery comes to the Elks' theater soon.
