MOONSHINERS CAUGHT. Three Bound Over By Commissioner Splncer to Federal Court The county officers Saturday morning raided a distillery in Lebanon township, capturing F. L. Garrard and Eugene Dunne gan, white men who were operat ing the place, and Henderson Barbee, a colored man of Dur ham, who came on the premises and raised a gun to shoot when taken. In the party were Deputies E. C. Belvin, J. D. Pleasants and Raymond Hall. They were call ed to the place by a complaint from Lebanon directed first to Deputy Marshall J. B. Jordan. When the matter was first re ported Mr. Jordan could not come from Raleigh and the Le banon citizen then went to Sheriff Harvard telling him of the condition and the officer sent his men. There comes the in variable conflict between the county and the regular revenue men's duties but the sheriff was forced to go when he had the matter before him. Duputy Jordan came in and drove out. In the meantime the Durham deputies had captured the white men and the still and were waiting on the revenue of ficer when Henderson Barbee drove up with dogs and shotgun. The negro raised his shooting iron when the Durham men cov ered him with their pistols and made him ground arms. The negro went down onesided and dropped his weapon while Mr. Jordan took him captive. They were brought to Durham and Assistant District Attorney J. A. Giles conducted the exami nations for the government. There were brought three or four gallons of new whiskey in a big jug and the officers testified that the blockers were at work and to take it to Raleigh. In going down stirring the mash just as a good housewife watches her pots about the dinner hour. The capacity of the copper was about 75 gallons but it hadn't gotten a good start and Barbee had evidently carried the supply away faster than it could be made. He had him a big keg, ordorant with blessed booze, and though he protested loudly that he was just out hunting no one understood why he was in a wagon on the big road and carry ing such a handicap as a half barrel. He did have the dogs with him. Barbee gave the court the impression that like a cele brated biblical character who as severated that he fished for men and putting him under a $300 bond United States Commission er Skinner held him securely. There was positive testimony that he was trying to shoot. The white defendants went to jail about an hour under their $300 bonds and were released soon afterwards on securing the signatures of some well-to-do Durham people. Their cases will be heard at the next term of the eastern district court. Deputy Jordan ended the af ternoon's court in great mirth when he picked up the big jug of liquor and started up the steps he stumbled, fell headlong and dropped the jug as he fall. The momentum given the jug car ried it full to the sidewalk where it exploded and scattered its radiating rankness all over town. Mr. Jordan's accident was caused by a weakness of a limb which was injured in a raid sometime ago when he was shot. When he stepped upon it he gave way, stumbled and broke-his ticker jug.

Harris, a white pa:nter working on the new Erwin cot ton mill at West Durham, was perhaps fatally injured yester day morning by falling from the painter's stage to the floor below and fracturing his head. The drop was fourteen feet and he fell with full weight upon the right side of his skull. Work men about him picked him up and bore him to medical aid, later taking, him to the Watts hospital where an operation was performed with but the smallest show of relief to the injured man. Before he went under the anaesthetic Dr. B. U. Brooks questioned him as to his resi dence and family. He spoke confusedly but described his home in Raleigh at the intere-c-tion of Tarboro and some other street which the physicians later looked up. The streets which he mentioned parallel rather than cross and his location of his home did not help in finding his mother and his brother, J, W. Harris, both of whom he said live in Raleigh. The operation at the Watts hospital revealed a fracture that is almost hopeless. Besides the break of the bones in the head there are possibly other injuries to the body and at midnight the patient was unconscious and ap parency improving none. He is in a desperate condition. iStODoay Knows now ne came to fait but jt is supposed that it was one of the unaccountable ac cidents. . The workman's posl' tion was not regarded as neces sarily perilous. Mr. Harris had been here but a short time. Further than his two relatives in Raleigh nothing is Known oi his lamuy. lie is fifty-six years of age and is un married. The West Durham people up to 11 o'clock last night had not succeeded in finding any friends or relatives who could give information as to his fami ly or his past life. Broke a Leg. While hauling timber one day last week Mr. OIlie Hoiloway the son of Mr. J. F. Hoiloway, living seven miles west of Durham, re ceived a broken ieg. The young man was engaged in bearing lumber to a house to be erected on his father's farm when one of the heavy pieces fell on him and fractured the limb. It will lay him up a month or six w.eeks.
