'W|NFREY GETS Skinner

Deputy U. S. Marshal, Charley

Sinner is in hospital at Somer-
set with four bullet holes in him.
Winfrey is fearless and con-
scientious officer, and his many
friends are glad that he was not
injured. The Somerset Journal
said of the raid in which it all
happened:
Fred Austin, of Russell county,
is in the Somerset Sanitarium
with four gun shot wounds in
his back and one in his stomach
as result of a raid on a still in
Russell county. United States
Marshal Chas. Winfrey, with the
sheriff of Russell county, started
out last Saturday night to raid
a still in Russell county and as
they approached the place where
they had been informed the still
was located they met four men
coming from that direction. They
ordered the men to throw up
their hands, and it is said, all
but Austin obeyed the officers.
Austin walked up to the officers
with one hand in his hip pocket
and fight ensued with Winfrey.
During the scrap Austin was
t shot four times. The other men
escaped. Austin claims he was
shot four times by the sheriff of
Russell county and once by Win
frey. At the hospital it is learn
ed that Austin is in very bad
condition and is not expected to
live. He refuses to give the
names of the parties with him.
