Sacrifice" which is being shown at
the Majestic Theatre today, was TAX
en- at Split Rock, where two days
before a tree had been chopped
across the path and a bootlegger on
his way from Canada held up. The

thousand dollars worth OF tntoxt-
cants and left no trail behind.
1t was only a few days before that
when two agents attempted
to catch a b~ootlegger speeding from
Canada in a high-powered machine
by putting two tin Lizxies across the
trail. The bootlegger, several hun
dred yards away, saw the blockade
and went through the path at forty
miles an hour. One flivver was sent
flying down into the ravine below
and the other was badly damaged,
but the Illicit dealer in intoxicants
escaped unframed and was never
captured.
