'REGRET PATHS

The death OF Adelina Patti at the

Of a stir as did the death of queen
Victoria In the realm of music,
especially opera Patti was In every
sense a queen. more truly ruling in
deed IN her domain than the reversed
English woman on her throne
A quieter world would feel even
more sharply this wrench with the
past, but even as IL Ia. newspapers

Hugh Sanuels Raids Veteran
Sinners Still Just Over the
Rockcas:,e Line

Deputy Internal Revenue Col
lector Hugh Samuels, of Rich
mond spent Sunday with his fam
lily at home, returning from Lon
don, where he took Thad Drew, a
60-year old moonshiner of Rock
castle county, whom he caught
dead to rights late last week.
In the capture of Drew and des-
struction of his still, Mr.. Samuels
believes that he has stopped the
supply of the moonshine whisky
which is said to have been rather
plentiful around the, Big Hill sec
ton of Madison county recently.
Mr. -Samuels said that he has evil
dence that Drew was making the
whisky and selling it to a man
near Big Hill at SIS gallon. Mr..
oamuels has the name of the man
who has been buying and retail
ing it in the Big Hill section of
his county and he is going to get
aim if he isn't careful.
AT Drew's house, which is lust
short distance over the Madi-
,on-Rockcastle line, the still was
was found within a couple of hun
dred yards of the home. 1t was
destroyed together with two gall
Ions of whisky on hand. Drew is
is said by Mr.. Samuels to have
been in business all his life, and
never before have the officers
been able to prove anything on
him. The raid was made by Mr..
Samuels with Sheriff Vim. Baker,
Of Jackson county, Deputy Sher-
if George Gabbard who got the
evidence on Drew, and then had
Deputy Collector Samuels bring
he power of Uncle Sam into the
game. Drew was released on $500
BOND for his appearance later at
federal court.
The same force raided the
moonshine still of Gath Philbeck,
also in Rockcastle county, but he
was too slick for them and made
a getaway. His still was about
half a mile from his home. The
still was destroyed.
Deputy Collector Samuels is be-
ing kept busy on prohibition en-
forcement cases such as these. a
most exclusively now, and is find
ng it quite busy little job.
