j that smoked has been solved.
! It wasrit the mountain that smok
! od it was an illicit still inside the
i irountain which made the smoke.
The smoke was, incidentally, the
f reason why J. A. Marshal, deputy
l:nitec! States marshal, was 'able to
hind three men, operators of the hi-;'f-till,
in the Sallisaw, Okla., jail ve
' ccntly to await the action of the
; Ft. "dei al officials.
I'or some time the natives of '''the
; wilds of eastern Oklahoma," had
! I etn noticin? that' smoke came from
; the side of the mountain five miles
v.ortli of Marble City, at a point
! wiiere a small stream issued out (U"
i lift.: mountain'. Some wet-e super-
stitious, others thought perhaps the
j mountain was on fire inside or was
;:bout to break forth as an active
volcano.
i Wilson heard of the phenomena,
I but he didn't thing; it was anything
; e-xcept a still, which it seems he can
scent or trail by instinct, because of
I his long- practice. So Wilson beg'itn
;a still hunt for the still.
! No one in the neighborhood had.
c ver heard of a ca.ve in the .moun
tain, but this didnt prove that there
was no 'cave there. ; . Wilson . inter-
viewed the, Indians who had lived
: ;n the vicinity for years, and found
traces of a legend to the effect that
;a cave of h;rg-e dimensions existed
i in?ide the mountain. j
j With Mose .Newmiin, chief of po
i lice of Salisbury, "Wilson went to
I Marble . City and walked to the myste
! rious place, reaching' there at mid-,
p.ig-ht. '. Swinging aside a large fiat
i rock, the opening; of the cave was
! exposed near the creek, and. the"ofli
! cers crawled back' some . 300 yards
! before they came to the cave, which
opened into a . lar'g"e room.
Inside the room . was a- man,
blackened with smoke, presiding- over
a larg'e E'cill, witlr several barrels
rear a large tank. By a flickering
hght, he. was keeping- the fire hot.
The c flic era rushed in, and cap
tured Frank Gossett, who lives cigiu
mileis north of Vian. lie assured
them that he was alone in the cave
and Newman was left to guard him
while Wilson went after a wagon in
which to haul away .the. still and
other, booze-making' apparatus. ;
During- the wait for Wilson to
t c turn Newman heard a cough f ur-
j ther down the recesses of the. .He
j pointed his g-un at Gossett and told
I him that if an- attack were made at
j least one man would pay the price.
I After., an ,hour, or , more . of waiting
; vy uson returned and found a man
named Bill Miller peacefully sleep-ing-
on sa .large flat rock in the dark
j recesses, of the ca.ve. He w7as awak
j ened and taken to the outside with
j the other captive.
I Just as the man emerged from the
, cave a vehicle was heard approach
i ing. J'hev rushed b?.ek inside and
! awaited the approach of the man.
; David Sloan, of Marble City, who
I ws captured as he entered the cave
! with. a.. large quantity of supplies and
j.fcod.
i : Gossett boatsts ' of having made
whiskey in. seven states, but declares
j this is -the first time he was caught.
