DRY OFFICERS MAKE RAID ON
SEVERAL STILLS DOWN STATE
ROBINSON BULLOCK, HARRING-
TON ARRESTED.-TWO STILLS
Rum Runners of RehObOth and Signal
Lights of Schooner Caused a Stir
at the Resort Last Week

State Detective D. D. Wharton, of
Kent county accompanied by Federal
officers Visited the lower part of the
county Friday west of Harrington,
where they cOnfiscated four quarts of
finished product, two stills both of
seventy-fve gallon capacity and the
"Old King Brown" style, both regis
tered stills by the Government, pre-
vious to the Volstead Act. Robinson
Bullock, was arrested and was held in
$500 bail before Justice of Peace Jones
at Harrington for a further hearing.
A still is said to have been found at
the Bullock farm. Illegal possession
is the charge. At the farm of Ben
jamin McKnatt a still was found all
set up, but not in operation. Search
of properties of John Ratledge and
James Kemp revealed nothing. In
the raid about 200 gallons of mash
were destroyed and four quarts of the
finished product secured as evidence.
RehObOth Astir Over Rum Laden Ship
Cottagers at Rehoboth alleges that
rum laden vessel entered Cape Hen
lOpen Friday night and transferred
its cargo to a fleet of swift runners
and then sailed out to sea. Accord
/ ing to those who heard the buzzing of
the motors of the rum runners and
saw the flashing of signal lights as
each boat would swing to the star
board side of the large schooner. AS
/ a swarm of boats around their leader
these little craft circled the bigger
vessel and gradually, one by one, dis
appeared into the abySmal blackness
beyond the horizon. The squadron
was variously described at Rehoboth
/ Saturday, as comprising from a dozer
to twenty-five and thirty boats. Re
ports also were current that sister
vessel filled with "Old Scotch" actual
ly landed its wares and that number
of cases were despatched northward
presumably for Philadelphia. These
reports gained credence as many testi
fled to seeing trucks parked in the vi
cinity early in the week, most of tn,
vehicles bearing Pennsylvania licen
ses.
BOOtleggers Believed to Have Station
That bootleggers have establshe,
a wholesale landing station in th
Rehoboth section has been the GOSSIP
of fishermen the past few weeks
However, the talk first of a curiou
vein has become quizzical and fisher
men openly claim that last weeks es
capade is only a sort of culminatiol
of similar ones in recent days. 1t i

with signal lights, multi-colored flag
