DAVE JOYCE NIPPED
Officers Finally Nab One of
the Slickest Moonshiners
in the Woods.
HE IS NOW IN JAIL
Including Dave Sheriff Slate Has
All the Necessary Equipment
For a Doubling.
While not soliciting any orders,
Sheriff Slate is certainly in
position to make some good real
old-fashion moonshine should
the notion ever strike him to
make a doubling. He has the
equipment, complete, including a
copper still, plenty of water and
corn meal, and a real live stiller.
Dave Joyce, who has been
wanted by the officers, both
national and State, for
some months, was captured
Thursday by Sheriff Slate,
Deputy Sheriffs J. F. Dunlap
and Frank Tilley a few
miles north-east of Danbury. He
was brought to jail. Dr. Slate
the Sheriff had already in his
possession in the jail a copper,
and now with all necessary
machinery, including Dave, he is
prepared should the demand be
come sufficiently urgent, to turn
out a few barrels of mountain
■ I
dew on short notice.
Dr. Slater and his deputies
have been keeping a weather
eye open for Dave for some
time, and on last Wednesday
they made diligent search for
him, without success. Continuing
the watch on Thursday, they
suddenly ran up on the alleged
moonshiner, and brought him
without further ado to prison.
It is probably that Dave will not
make demand for bail, as the
revenue officials will immediately
put in a claim for him. and he
may therefore await his trial
with the State authorities think
ing that when the latter get
through with him, further prose
cution would be dropped.

Editor Danbury Reporter:
There is a report in circulation
that Sam Smith and Jesse Pyrtle
some time last spring entered the
burial ground at River
Presbyterian church and took
down and demolished the grave'
" stones, and that I had put out a
reward for them. Now there is f
not one word of truth in this re-'
port. Nothing is bothered in
any way, for I closely examined
myself after hearing the report.
I can't see why any person
would circulate such a report.
