FOUR BROTHERS
MEET SAME FATE
Another Click Added to Roster of
Rum Makers-Sheriff Found Mash
Other Law Items

I Arthur Click, last of the quartet
lof Click brothers to become entan
gled in the meshes of the anti-moon
shine laws. is under $500 bond fol-
/ his appearance at the next term oil
/ the Circuit Court of Shenandoah
County. His arrest follows long
vigil by Sheriff B. NJ Borden, Deputy
Sheriff Mckinley Ryman and Justice
I of the Peace Samuel Funkhouser
who for several nights kept watch in
the woods near Clicks home, guard
ing two barrels of mash which un-
der prevailing circumstances in that
section was intended to be converted
into liquid lightning.
On Monday morning, it is alleged
Click who is presumed to have sus-
Ipected an official bug under the COM
munity chip, visited the mash depos-
itory in the early hours and poured
the Matching corn in a nearby ravine.
He was seen by the officers and
likewise he saw the officers. For
getting a similar attempt to escape,
under like circumstances, by his
brother, William Click, who was shot
by Deputy Ryman as he ran, Arthur
developed speed as a Splinter and
reached his household ahead of the
officers in a neck-an-neck race. His
sprinting was in vain and he now
faces charge a sa manufacturer of
fusel oil and liquified righteousness.
The Clicks have a record without
parallel in Virginia as violators of
the prohibition laws.
Gummery Click is now in the peni-
Tertiary serving four-year sentence
for repeated violations of the law.
William L. Click is under convic-
ton and facing term on the State
road for moonshining
John Click served his State as a
laborer for a like offense.
Now comes Arthur travelling along
the same highway which his brothers
trod and one which leads to prison
bars.

Paul Henry, Woodstock boy whose
frequent mix-ups with the law result
ed in a recent sentence to the State
industrial School by Judge. M.a~L1
Walton, Jr., in Juvenile Court, and
who disappeared on the eve of being
taken to the institution, was appre-
hended by the police of Washington
Tuesday and held for Virginia Off

while violating the law in the Capt.
tai City, and Shenandoah County Off

rectly from Washington to School,
Virginia, to serve the sentence inn
posed by Judge Walton.
Harmon Liquored Up
When Charles Harmon, married
man with several children, living in
the western part of Davis District,
tanked up on white Mule" several
days ago he must have swallowed
much of the kick hidden in the hy-
brid beverage.

ing about the weather and kicking
generally, winding up in kicking sew
eral members of his family
When the obstreperousness had
oozed out of him he was arrested
and brought to Woodstock and ar
raigned before Judge NJ. L. Walton,
Jr., of the Domestic Relations Court,
who sent him to Jail for 10 days,
where he can kick against the steel
bars and reflect on the horrors of
adding his brain with alcoholic slim
ulants filled with kicks and cussed-
ness.
