One of the officials Of the Indian Of

business when certain chief, who
had taken a fancy to Uncle Sans

MAKES OWN wKscI
BILL WILLIAMS MOST NOTED
SOUTHERN MooNsHlNER.
Has Long Been the Despair Of Georgia
Revenue officers-Destroy His
stills, but Cannot Capture
Him.

Few distillery captures have been
more highly priced than that made by
United States Deputy Marshals Dave
and Frank Riley near Oconee. Wild
Bill Williams, a white man who had
been terror to the community be.
cause he was operating very large
business in open defiance to the lead
ing citizens, was the man the officers
sought, but this time, as on many
other occasions, instead. of fighting
with his reputed steel jacket bullets,
he lodged into the weeds and left his
still, warm from the fires Of four
months, to be demolished.
Wild Bill has never been captured
but once. He has been professional
moonshiner for years. Frank Riley,
one of the deputies who has been this
long time in search of the man, man
aged once to locate him and he was
brought into court. For some reason
Wild Bill braved the circumstances
and came to Macon. The deputy
caught sight OF him and there was a
race for life

on of defense upon him save barlow
knife, and trusted to his feet to save
him. With half an hour spent in dodg-
ing corners and climbing over and
under freight cars IN railway yards,
the deputy outran Williams and stop
ped him in struggle which lasted
long enough to exhaust both men.
Judge Emory Speer placed him under
$500 bond. and as soon as a bonds
man was secured the still operator
was out again stirring cane beer and
sour mash In his native haunts.
A constant effort has been made by
United States Marshal George White
and his force of deputies to locate this
man, but twice within the last six
months have the officers destroyed
large outfits without capturing the
operator.
The next information coming from
this refiner of spirits was that which
led the officers into the woods near
Oconee. With rifles and revolvers
they crept through the spot where the
outfit was In operation and were fore
ed to smash 1t without having captur-
ed single person. But since that
time plans have been made which, 1t
Is believed, will result in bringing the
man to answer. Repo is to head
quarters and recommendations follow
ing have put the officers to new ruses,
but Williams is at present beyond
their reach.
The man who is so badly wanted is
unmarried. He has no regular habits
other than the one determination to
operate a distillery. He Is wanderer
and shows up always In the spot
where he is least expected. He looks
to be brave man. Is a good example
of the backwoods type and is friendly
and polite as the most refined. His
life is more adventurous than that
of the officers who search for him in
swamp and woods with rifles in hand,
for although 1t would be prison life
of severity were he captured he would
not injure his fellow man. The strik-
ing characteristic is his firm belief

The newest tie IL a steel casting
