BOOZE RUNNER
MAN Is WOUNDED BY
OFFICER IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Hot Springs, June 2.-During a
fight in the region near the South
Dakota-Nebraska line, south of here,
Sam Johnson, of Alliance, Neb., had
his jawbone shattered by a bullet.
Johnson and two companions were
crossing a narrow strip of South Da-
kota territory on their way to Ne
braska with an automobile load of
liquor, which they procured in Wyom-
ing. Johnson's injuries were OF so
serious a nature that he had to- be
brought to a hospital here. His two
companions, giving their names as v.
r. Byrnes and Elvin Zediker, also
claiming Alliance as their home, were
captured. IL is expected they will
enter pleas of guilty TO the charge
of bringing liquor into South Dakota.
The men had been travelling mostly
by night in their efforts to get their
load of liquor into Nebraska unde-
tected.
When they entered South Dakota
they hid in an isolated pasture dur
Ing the day and concealed their car
of booze in a canyon. Their presence
was noticed, however, and the Off
GERS were notified. When they re-
sumed their journey about Z o'clock
that evening, Deputy Sheriff Ed.
Shaffer was on hand in an automo-
bile. When he called upon them to
surrender they speeded up their ma
chine. Shaffer gave chase and fired
at the car, hoping to strike one of
the tires and thus bring the fugitives
to a halt. One of the bullets was de-
Elected by a metal part of the car
and struck Johnson in the jaw, shat
tering 1t. The other two men stopped
the car when Johnson was hit and
were taken into custody by the dep
uty. The car was found to contain
ten kegs OF whisky of about five gall
Ions each. The liquor was confis-
Gated by the officers.
The wounding of Johnson and the
surrender of the booze runners took
place at a point about half a mile
from the Nebraska line.
