SheriAf's Nose Pointed Way to Cache

ANDUSKY, OHIO. - The hills
of OIL Kentucky and the noun
~ tains of Tennessee have got
nothing on that section Of Erie
county lying between Berlin Heights
on the west and Oberlin and Amherst
on the east when 1t comes TO offering
the moonshiner the isolation he deems
so essential.
A couple of weeks ago Sheriff Tay-
lor Of Erie county got tip that there
was moonshine establishment some
where between Berlin Heights and
Oberlin, some five or six miles south
of vermilion in the heart of an almost
virgin forest.
With four deputies and two federal
prohibition officers who happened to
be In Sandusky Sheriff Taylor took to
the woods In two automobiles. At the
entrance to the forest the sheriff and
his aides were Joined by dozen
armed farmers.
There's an awful strong odor In
this locality" remarked the sheriff as
the searching party reached bend In
a ravine 1t was following. There was
q pile Of what looked like drift" on
the further bank Of the stream resting
against the trunk of a tIee.
The L'Anse sentinel., 1923-09-21

The sheriffs keen sense Of smell d.
rected him to the driftwood. Sure
enough there was cache, all lined
with canvas supported by center
pole in much the same manner that
the circus "big top" is supported.
And within the cache there was q
still Of fifty gallons capacity and about
ten gallons Of product.
Three deputies with rifles were
placed In close proximity to the cache.
The sheriff and, his posse left. Five
minutes later the sheriff was getting
into his automobile when shots were
heard in the woods. The sheriff and
posse made dash for the still. Upon
their arrival they found the three dep
uties with three prisoners In hand
cuffs.
Taken by surprise, three men from
Lorain put their hands high above
their heads and held them there until
told they could take them down
which was after the two deputies had
encircled their wrists with handcuffs.
The men arrested pleaded guilty to
charges of violating the prohibition
laws and were fined $500 and costs
each. They were without funds and
were sent to jail.

Brave Dog Saved One of His Charges

each minute. One driver, who went
away before the police obtained his
name, saw the dog and children strug-
Cling in the water. He applied his
emergency brake, and, while the car
was still humping and skiddlng along,
leaped from 1t over the fence and into
the channel Fifteen feet farther on
the car bumped against the fence and
stopped
In the meantime the dog had re-
turned to the channel, as Edmond was
again coming to the surface. She
seized the child by the arm so forcibly
that marks of her teeth were seen
when the body was recovered, but her
previous exertions had been too great,
and the child again sank.
The automobile driver who plunged
in from the moving car was not a suf-
ficiently strong swimmer to battle the
current and dive for the children. He
was forced. like the dog, to make for
the shore to save himself.
After recovering somewhat, the dog
seemed to become frantic with grief.
She dashed 'crazily about the shore
and refused to permit anyone to touch
Susie, who was still showing the ef-
fects of immersion.

thought there must be a den Of them
there.
The next day the boys again visited
the tree and, finding no snakes about,
all climbed 1t and were soon feasting
upon cherries. Suddenly shouts arose
from all over the tree as each boy
found himself menaced by one or
more snakes. which had apparently
swarmed mp the tree after them, and
again their exit was hurried and un-
ceremonious.
Enraged by this second attack, the
boys went to the home of one OF their
number and procured large iron pot,
such as Is used for scalding hogs, and.
bringing II back to the scene Of action,
made a fire under It and heated gal

dashed from buckets upon the rock

the snakes began to spring out. only
to fall lifeless upon the ground.

debut Friday against Cordele, and
very beautifully supplied the latter
with draught of Waterloo. But it
was anything but a walk-away, and
if the A. H. S. intends to make his
tory repeat itself, she must certain

the Crisp county aggregation re-
turns for revenge.

to believe that the contest, in itself,
