"With all the seriousness connected with

happen," cald 1. R Reed, revenue agent
for the Omaha district. "1 recall an In

We located the still snd raided It.
"The shack was built In the side of the
mountain, the front being of crudely ar
ranged legs, and the whole covered with
a roof of chestnut apllts. We sneaked up
onto the still at night and found a gang
of four fellows at work there. It was
Saturday night and they were about to
run orf the beer. Three of the gang were
flaying cards and andlher by the name
of Tsi Wilson waa stirring the beer. Beer

logs. The fellows playing cerds got to
talking- as to what they would do if the
revenue men would come. One said he
would shoot, another that he would knife
them and the third that he would club
them.

a tall, gaunt, alx-footer and Just simply
made a dive out through that chestnut
roof and lit in the Pan river. We heard
him alopplng through the river, but It
was ao dark that we couldn't see him.
He got away. But he kept his word, and
busted that river wide open.
"The other fellowa were taken up to
