Chief Freeman’* Dog Bootlegger’s Enemy Chief of Police Bert Freeman has a new way of finding whiskey. He simply sicks his little dog, Til lie, on the trail and presto, there you are, providing uf course, there is any whiskey about. Chief Freeman found last week by an accident that his miniature wolf hound. Chinese feist, (or whatever family his eight-inch high dog is), was adept at the art of finding moonshine. Taking his dog for a stroll in a woodland in the corporate limits, Chief Freeman saw signs that made him suspicious. Seeing some ruffled leaves near a tree he scratched in and found a half-gallon cf whiskey. He unscrewed the cap, and as Tillie, the dog, was cavorting around and seemed rather inquisitive as to just what her master had found, he let the little dog take a whiff. Yap! Yap! and off scampered Tillie, circling as fast as her short legs could carry her in circles that soon brought her inquisitive nose to another plant. Again Yap! Yap! and the little dog began to bite and scratch at the heavy leaf mold. There it was. No mistake. A half gallon of whiskey. Somewhat surprised, if not dum founded, Mr. Freeman hissed his dog <.n, and within two more minutes, there was another half gallon of whiskey “treed” in the ground. Sounds funny . . . but it s a fact, just the same. Health Unit May Be Established By TVA Dr. G. B.
