:
Mackey and deputy sheriff from
Cleveland county, who went along t
see the fun, went to the Tucker farm
and started Investigations
The search was instituted as sooT
as the shcrifls party arrived on ths
farm, shortly after | O'Clock, but was
non-productiye of results until
O'Clock when the plant containing
six barrels of whisky was unearthed
The whisky was buried in a ditch
beside shed near the house. The
ditch was long enough to accomm,,
date the six barrels without crowding
and deep enough to permit them be-
ing well covered with earth and barn
yard litter, from prying eyes of those
intent upon law enforcement
Mr.. Bailey stated that each barrel
was connected with the other by a
piece Of syphon or rubber hose, lead
ing from a tap in the bottom of each
barrel to tap in the bottom of its
fellow The first barrel in the lot
had an iron tube inserted in its head,
the top OF which was concealed by q
few inches of earth and bunch Of
carelessly scattered litter The last
barrel had an outlet similar to the in
take of the first barrelo The top Of
this outlet was provided with a stop
cock and was also concealed from the
eyes OF the inquisitiye with shallow
covering of earth and carelesslg
spread litter An automobile pump,
the sheriff says was used to force the
liquor from the first barrel through
he others and out OF the outlet from
the last
Mr. Bailey said the barrels were
buried deep and had to be dug out
with a good deal of labor. After get
ting the wisky barrels to the surface,
Sheriff Bailey left suard with them
and returned to the city from where
he dispatched dray which brought
the whisky in from the Tucker farm
to the Jail shortly after the arrival
OF the whisky in the city the sherifrs
officers poured it into the sever at
the corner of Fourth street and choc-
taw avenue.
When asked if any arrests had beer
made in connection with the finding
Of the booze. Sheriff Bailey stated that
John Tucker was IN Oklahoma ciiy
yesterday when the booze was IN
earthed, but that he thought ihfcr-
nation would be lodged against him.
It is also more than possible that the
United States commissioner may take
mold Of the matter and order a thor
ough investigation from his depart
ment

l. v. VS. ARE COMING TO TONOPAH
IN FORCE TO ENGAGE IN SABOTAGE

The Industrial Workers OF the
World are expected to come to To
nopah In force and to perform sabot-
age. Do you know what sabotage
means? The dictionary defines it:
Malicious injury done by an employe
to the industrial establishment of his
employer" Since the latest diction-
AIRY was published the law has given
a wider definition to the word, be-
cause of the matter in which the
!. w. w. have themselves construed
the term. The law thus explains the
meaning of the word; ANY violent
act whereby the decrease OF the
wealth of another may be accom-
plished with no reward to the one
committing the. violent act out of the
property injured or destroyed
