they could get some moonshine. They
were directed to a large oak tree and
told To til their money in rag hang
linz on string stretched from the
top Or thu tree. After this RAJ had
been pulled To the top Of the tree
they were warned to leave the place
and stay away for about a half hour.
Believe me-" said Harryman, 1--we
didn't want to take any chances. %
we stayed away for an hour"
But when they returned they found
the three quart bottles they had left
AT thu tree filled with moonshine for
the small sum of DO cents. When the
men lot back to their motorcycles
they found their tools and other be-
longings scattered about Nothing
was missing, but evidently some Of
the mountaineers had been trying to
