v THE "SSllTHTOWH RAID.
Revenue Officers Tell How Officer Hen
drix net His Death. . -
The revenue officers - who took part
in the raid on 7 moonshiners at Smith
town, Stokea county, last Friday have
returned and they tell hew Revenue
Officer J. W;. Hendrix was." killed by a
moonshiner. The killing , took r place
near Oscar Sisk's distillery. None of
the revenue-' officers saw Bisk shoot
Hendrix, but they are satisfied that he
is the man who did the shooting. They
knew the location of Sisk's distillery
and left the driver and one officer with
the teams and started afoot in the di
rection of the distillery, when they saw
Sisk a hundred or more yards away.
He had aVgun and when he saw the
officers ha darted J into a clump of
bushes and ran. The officers gave
chase, Mr. Hendrix running ahead and
crossing a branch The others ran
down on the right hand side of the
branch and did not see Heudrix any
more until they found him dead near
Sisk's house, shortly after they heard a
report of a Winchester rifle. Hendrix
was a swift runner and when he first
saw Sisk he impetuously daBhed to
wards him.
In tne immediate party with Mr.
Hendrix were Deputy Marshal J. T.
Millikan, Lum Blalock, B. O. Down
ing and W. H. Stancill. Blalock was
the first to reach the dead man. The
bullet had pierced the left lapel of his
coat and came out en the right Bide of
his back, piercing his heart. He died
instantly.
A diligent search was made for Sisk,
but he disappeared and has not yet
been recaptured. A reward of $1,CC0
has been offered for him . and a like
amount for Jim Smith. There is a to
ward of $500 for John Hill, another of
the Smitbtown moonshiner.
The officers think that if Hendrix
had had a single companion with him
he would probably not have been shot,
and they are of the opinion that but
for his impetuousity he would in all
probability ie alive today.
HE W AW FIRM FORMED.
