SEVEME OFFICERS IT VDSL
Captured a fan and a Still la Lebanon
Township Last Week.
Revenue officers were on a raid
in the northern part of this coun
ty last week and not only got
the "copper" but made one ar
rest and have the prisoner, Ed
Riley, locked up in the county
jail. He was taken before
United States Commissioner
Moye as soon as the officers
reached here late Thursday even
ing and his bond was fixed at
$200. Being unable to give this
the defendant was committed to
jail.
The raid was made by Deputy
Collector W. G. Pool and Deputy
Marshal J. B. Jordan. It wax in
the neighborhood of Mt Lebanon
church, some fourteen or fifteen
miles from here, that the still
was found in full operation. It
was no trouble for the officers to
destroy the entire plant and the
ranee was not a very hard one to
capture Ed Riley, who is better
known in this city as "Hunk"
Riley.
The plant was then destroyed.
The still and all its equipments
were cut down and destroyed,
the fermenters were cut down
beer and low wines poured out
and general havoc played with
the plant that was turning out
white lightning" as fast as the
sixty gallon copper would do so.
Then the return trip to the city,
with the illicit whiskey maker in
tow. was taken up. the officers
reaching here late in the evening.
The prisoner is well known In
Durham as he lived here for sev
eral years, being in the employ
of V. R. Herndon as horseman
at the livery stable. While here
he got into several whiskey sell
ing cases and was sent over to
court these cases being now
pending against him. After this
trouble he left here and went
back to the country, where he re
sided before coming to Durham,
and he is now in trouble again
on account of the whiskeymisi
ness. .
Friday Justice of the Peace J.
E. Owens had a small civil case,
this being a P. Parrish against
Mrs. Alice McCown. Mr. Par
rish claimed that the defendant
owed him 514.91 for groceries
but in the trial Mrs. McCown
presented receipts to show that
she did not owe the bill The
action was dismissed at the cost
of Mr. Parrish.
