TRIED TO SELL BOOZE TO
MAYOR OF MORRISTOWN
O. r. Stephenson Nabbed by
Federal Authorities After
Bold Attempt.

Knoxville. July 26.--(Special Just
because the mayor Of Morrstown had
a red bump on the end OF his nose,
G. r. Stephenson had, the misfortune
to mistake him for a possible prospect
for sale of a half man" The result
Is that Stephenson is now out on a
bond Of $1,000 facing a federal charge Of
violating the Reed amendment.
Deputy Revenue Agents Farrell and
Cobb had a hurry call to Morristown
from civil authorities there, stating
that three men were under arrest
charged with having twenty gallons OF
whisky In their possession.
When the revenue men got there,
howe ever, It seems that two Of the men,
J. J. Hooper and H. L. Matthews. had
managed to make bond OF $1,000 each
with the civil authorities. and had been
released Stephenson was less fortunate
and had not executed his bond before
the arrival of the federal officers, and
therefore had to answer for his offense
to the government as we'll as the city.
The federal officers state that they
were unable to locate the other two
men after they had been released by
tho city. The men are said to have
gone to Morristown in an automobile
In which was stored the whisky. The
liquor was confiscated.
The officers state that the mayor OF
Morristown said that Stephenson APP
peared to have been drinking when he
attempted the sale Of his wares to the
city's chief executive.
