Prohibition Officers T. H. Patrick j
H. Murphy, j. NJ. Billiter, and Deputy
Sheriff j. D. Fletcher of Martin county,
conducted raid on moonshiners on
Emily fork of Wolf creek in Martin
county. This section has been motor
ious for the amount of moonshine made
and for the dangers to be encountered
by anyone attempting to interfere with
the moonshiners, especially for the
past eighteen months. 1t finally be-
came SO bad that 1t was dangerous for
doctors to go into the neighborhood to
see patients.
Thursday afternoon the above named
officers captured 100 gallon copper
still complete and about so gallons of
mash from which apple and peach
brandy were to have been made. This
occurred few miles up Emily creek.
On their way back the officers were
riding along cleared section of the
road when they were fired upon by
the moonshiners with high powered
rifles. About sixty shots were fired,
The officers, who Immediately sought
protection in the nearest available
place, were fortunate enough to escape
injury. The firing continued until
dark and it was reported that one
moonshiner was shot through the knee.
After consulting the sheriff Of Mar
tin county, who thought it impractic-
able to return at that time for the
men, the officers went to Williamson.
w. Va, for assistance and got some
state police. They returned Saturday
and captured five men, who are thought
to be the ring leaders, at the mouth Of
the creek.
The captured men are ]. G. Marcum,
Vess Marcum, J. w. Finley, Abraham
Hensley and Dock Hensley. They
passed through Louisa Monday, being
taken to the Pikeville Jail to await

BIG SANDY COAL
MINES RUNNING

With the exception OF Muddy
Branch, Van Lear and Auxier. the coal
mines in the Big Sandy valley are rum
ming full blast. Last Sunday the Big
Sandy division handled the largest
number of cars ever handled on this
division in one day, $50.

fair profit. Previous to this raise they
have not made any money since the
depression started a little more than
a year ago.
