Sans Has a Narrow Escape
From Death.

Araiding party which set out from
Newport last Tuesday night returned
to this place Wednesday night and re-
ported an exciting trip in the mount
aims in which they had engaged in a
pitched battle with crowd of mount
ain men, and which resulted in the
destroying of still which had 5000
gallons Of beer on hands for distilling
purposes.
The party which was composed Of
j. Lee Sans, d. S. Bowers and W. W.
Harkins, deputy collectors all Of Ash
vile; Marshall Roe Williams were
joined at Waterville by Deputy Sheriffs
Bill Barnes and John Miller.
The party lett Watervllle Tuesday
night and worked their way o,er the
mountain towards Cold Spring creek,
where they had reports of big still in
operation. 1T had been the plan of
the officers to approach the still from
the path along the river, but they were
warned that an ambuscade had been
laid for them, and as result they
crossed over the MOUNTAINS and came
down upon the still which was located
on the land of Tom McGaha, from the
rear. Their approach was heralded
by whistle from one Of the pickets
and one man was seen dump out of
the still house, leaving his revolver,
hat, and coat behind
The officers proceeded to destroy the
still which was Of as 5 gallon capacity.
There were found besides the three
thousand gallons of beer, So gallons Of
whiskey, and it is reported that other
whiskey had been hid away.
After destroying the still the posse
began to look for the operators.
They say that they came upon them
in laurel thicket, and that they were
greeted with fusiade of shots
The shooting was done from dist
ance and no harm was done.
The officers continued to press into
the thicket and the mountain men re-
treated behind some huge rocks.
Finally Tom MaGaha, on whose
place the still was located, drew off
from the rest of the crowd and when
the officers started to follow he turned
on them and made a determine stand,
using nine-shooter revolver, aad
which he sent one bullet so close to
Lee Sans, left temple that he dropped
to the ground and he sent another steel
Jacket bullet through the clothing OF
John Miller.
Sans opened fire with his Winchest
er and the officers emptied their revoI
vers repeatedly at McGaha without ef
feet but finally McGaha's hat was seer
to fly up and he staggered away from
the scene of conflict into the mountains
The. officers were too tired to giv'
further pursuit and started for New
port.
AS tnev approsched the Tennessee
line they were surprised to come upor
another still in Iull operation, the lon'
man in the place hearing them just il
time to escape by running into th'
mountain.
This still was destroyed andthe Ottic
ers continued on into Tennessee too tire,
to follow the man operating this still
as they had walked and run some

The orange blossom crowns her
The bridal satin gowns her
The happy anthems ring;
Girlhood's gay reign is over
She goes to meet her lover
While Eden's voices sing.

The wedding bread is broken
With blessings and with tears;
These two set out together,
Through storm and sunny weather
To journey through the years.
Fate, send your choicest dover
Great JOY and plenty shower
From blue and kindly skies;
Earth's music and its laughter
And gladness everafter,
And love that never dies !
So life goes on forever,
Hands join no more to sever
The roses crown the June
And down the aisle a-swinging
We hear the angels singing
A joyous hymnal tune.

Judge Swami tempered Justice with
mercy last Friday when, against the
protests of the complainant in the case.
he suspended sentence upon Ernest @.
Weller, who had pleaded guilty. to an In
dictment for grand larceny. The Court
Is now convinced that the admixture of
mercy was too strong and a bench war;
rant for Wcller's arrest was issued to-
day.
Weller was employed as a bookkceper
by Samuel A. Gr,ce, a dealer In e%lectri-
cal supplies at No. 952 Amsterdam ave-
nue.. lie was arrested in December when
Grlce found hat the bookkeeper had
stolen about 800.
At the time OF his arraignment Weller
was suffering from locomotor ataxia.
Weller and his wife made pitiful pleas
for clemency. Mr.. Grice insisted that
Weller had robbed others, but Welle-
assured Tie Court that he had never
been arrested or convicted before.
Records from Elmira Reformatory re-
ceived to-day show that Weller was once
a convict In that institution and had
violated his parole.
