Tricks of the Moonshiners.
Col. (5w>. IPI Symonds in Detroit Free Pressm i
Creech's Cross Roads is tho metro- j
polis of the Lonesome neighborhood i
and a considerable trade center. It j
boasts of a big store owned by Jabez-1
Creech, the founder of the Cross Roads, ?
a blacksmith shop and a "grocery," j
which is the mountain name for drink
?og saloon. I was privately informed j
that Creech is a silent partner in the
last enterprise, and that the blacksmith ?
-herccJean, coal-black negro
'"works for wages*' which Creech pays J
It ie tobe inferred, therefore, that Jabez
Creech is somewhat of a nabob. Ile is !
a shrewd, calculating fellow, aa keen j
fbr a trade as a Yankee and as sharp at j
a bargain as a Jew. It is a singular i
fact that none of these last mentioned ;
enterprising gentry are to be found in j
the mountains south. Senator Zeb ?
Tance, of North Carolina, once ex?
piaioed the matter to me by the asser?
tion that the saturai mountaineer could j
discount the shrewdest descendant of j
Abraham ia driving a sharp bargain, j
and for that reason the Jewish people
preferred to invest their money in j
section* where the people were lesscuu- j
niog It is a fact that, no matter how j
?ilitewrte the southern mountaineer may j
be, lie is always possessed of an abund- j
ance of shrewd "horse-sense," and this
latter natural quality makes him a foe
man worthy of anybody's- steel. Ia
. my boyhood days this very section of ?
country was represented in the State j
Senate by Gen. Harrison Rtley, who j
was unable to either read or write. He j
waa the ideal of the clannish Cracker's j
and was returned to the Senate term ]
after term. He was an excellent legis
lato?, said some of the wisest and most j
beneficent laws on the statute books of :
Georgia were framed by him.
I stopped at Creech's Cross Roads j
the other day to purchase a few neces?
sary articles at the store and have my
horse re-shod for a rough trip into the
farther mountains. There was the
usual crowd of loungers about the little
settlement, and I was listening to their
lazy chatter, when there was the sharp
Fattie of horse-hoofs on the hard loam
read, and a dosen men, who were lite?
rally "armed to the teeth," galloped
out of the fopest and drew rein in frout
sf the store. "Hit's the raa'shals, j
cuss 'em !" muttered one of the crowd, s
and I noticed when I looked around a j
few minutes later that about one-haif of
the loaugers had mysteriously disap?
peared. "They always do," said the
chief deputy, when ? spoke of the matter j
rater. "They fear that I may have j
'papers* for them. Every other man in i
She mountains is a violator of the inter- J
sal revenue taws, and those fellows, .
knowing their guilt, thought it best to- j
"scoot for the brush' and take no risks." ?
This marshal is a man of a wild and j
eventful experience, and while waiting !
for the negro blacksmith to re-shoe the j
aorses of his squad he told me several j
interesting incidents illustrating his ex- j
peri en ce among the moonshiners. Ho !
bas been in the business for nearly j
twenty years and during that time has ;
operated in cid and West Virginia, [
Kentucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas, '
georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Fierida, j
Louisiana. Arkansas aird Texas. Ile j
bas been in hundreds of fights with j
illicit distillers and hassercral times been j
? " wounded. West Virginia, Kentucky, j
Tennessee and North Carolina he con- ;
cedes to possess the most dangerous i
outlaws. He is perfectly familiar with
the inside history of the various feudal ?
"wars" in Kentucky, and on one oe- j
casion, while raiding through "Rioody '
Breathitt" County, in that State, his !
men were mistaken by one "army*7 for ?
the enemy's forces. The result carne
sear being a disastrous one. The j
mountain warriors were intrenched on
the side of a large Mil, where they had
thrown up breastworks and mounted an ;
old brass cannon which had boco aban- '
doned during the late war by the Feue- i
ral General, George K. Morgan. This 1
was loaded with slugs, rusty r.ails and
other scrap iron and small pebbles. I:
was wedged between two logs and '??
trained to sweep a road that wound :
along the side of the hill Fortunate
ly for the revenue party they took a j
bridle path still rower down the hilt,
and when the cannon went off, which it j
did with a roar and crash that could be j
beard for milesr thc nails and pebbles;
whistled over the heads of the start! d !
marshals, cutting off limbs as big as a .
man's arm and covering them with a
shower of leaves. They captured the
cannon and spiked it. "I particularly
desired to catch ene man ou this raid,'*
eontrnaed the marshal. "f?e was
named Diok Hanna, was an active par?
tisan of thc Little faction to the pend?
ing 'war,,' and had given us a great
deal of trouble-almost as much.*' he
added with a smile, "as your friend."
Dock Davis, whom I'm afraid we ?iii
never recapture. Dink lianna wa* :?
fine-looking fallow, :;ir fee" arid an inch
im height, and a regular . mountain
?as-dj. l?o would siioot 'al thc- drop
cf the hat.' and if necessary dri p the
feat hic^elf. Altogether h3 was a very
bad mao. We had a warran! for him
for several years, but he had 1. rts of
friends who warned him of cur approach
and he always managed to get safely to
the 'brush.' Dink wan married and
fcad a little cabin on the R ?cky F'?rk of
the North Fork of rhe Kentucky River
I traced him to his cabin one day and
with a couple of bai'i??- rodo down up-.n
the place. As we pulled n:< our horses
at the door of thc cabin several children
?ame out and eyed us as only mountain
youngsters can. I addressed one <f
them, a girl about 7 years of age.
."Does Dick Hanna live her- *.\ >apT
was the answer; 'h~s done timv? i
rway yander.' 'Where V 'Over <????
Carr's Fork 9 'Who lives here cowV
.Bill Smith.' 'Aren't you D-nk
Hanna's daughter?' 'Noan I' I was
looking her square in the even daring
thrs colloquy and watching every ex- j
pression. There wa* but stolid, apa?
thetic ignorance. Not a blush -no
shrinking. I wasalmost convinced that
I was on the wrong scent, but at the
suggestion of one of the baliffs w% dis
mounted and searched the cabin.
It was a very cold day, and th :re
were several women huddled around the
open fireplace smoking 'long green' to?
bacco in cob pipes. They eyed ti* sul?
lenly and answered our questions in
monosyllables. We looked every where,
even into tho meal chest, but could find
DO trace of Dink. I was about giving
up in despair when I noticed that the
child whom I had questioned, kept her
ryes fixed upon a particular board in
-the fl'K>r near the fireplace I saw that
it had reccutly been moved, and stoop
ing down I pried it up with my hunting
knife. There was a cavity underneath,
and ia it was r.he man we were in search
of. 'Come out, Pink.* I said, and
caught hold of his booted log. 'You've j
go: me,-boys,* he said, and made no re- j
sistance. I handcuffed bita and put '
him behind me oa the horse. That j
night we stepped at. a farmhouse ia j
Letcher County. I had to meet some I
?of my men at another rendezvous and j
left thc prisoner in charge of the bal ills, j
They were tired and sleepy, and hund
ettfiing Dink bet wee a them, went to
bed. Dink had peculiar wrists. They
were larder than his hands, and when
the bailiffs were fast asleep he slipped j
the cuffs, took a coat and a six-shooter
belonging to bis captors, and mounting
one of their horses, rode off. We found
the horse tied to a tree cn thc roadside j
about tea mii<?8 distant, but we never j
caught Dink.'*
The moonshiners display considera?
ble ingenuity in the selection of hiding
places for their stills. One fellow in
Carter County, Tenn., set up business
tn a small eave, and the smoke from his j
fire was carried into the waters of a j
creek by an underground pipe . This ?
creek was a famous lurking place fur
trout. One lazy summer day a deputy
marshal took his rod and started down
to the stream ile was walking along
the bank when he noticed that the sur?
face of the water looked- smoky. An
examination disclosed the pipe leading
from the still fire and the wily distiller
was discovered. "A noted character in
Rowan County, Ky ," said the marshal, ,
"was Squire Obediah Sexton. He j
was, if we believed his own words, ter- !
ribiy opposed to moonshiniug, and J
whenever we passed his house he would j
come out and orate ou his favorite sub- !
ject. lie was very comfortably frxed
and his wife always treated me to but- :
teraiiik, of which I aa? very fond, j
His farm ran back to a rocky ridge, on j
the other side of which was Mud Run j
a noted place of resort for moonshiners.
We arrested a good many of the Mud
Runners. I really did not intend that
as a pun, fur they were 'runners.' and
those that we failed to catch took to the
brush. In working up evidence against j
our prisoners we. secured nearly enough j
proof of our friend the 'Squire's com- j
p?city in illicit distiiiir g fur the issuance j
of a warrant of arrest, and thereafter !
we watched him warily. One hot mid- j
summer-day I took three cf ray men I
and climbed ?bc ridge buck of 'Squire !
Obediah's bouse without attracting at- j
tention. We had a powerful field-glass J
and this was focused upon the little set- j
ticment along Mud Run in the hope of
sightiog some of the fugitives for whom
we had warrants. As noon approach?
ed the heat became almost intolerable
and we nearly died with thirst, for, pre?
suming, of coarse, that there was
plenty of water on the ridge, we had
neglected to fiii our canteens. Every
spring and water hole was dried up,
and when it seemed to me as though
my tongue was baked to the roof of i
my mouth I snatched up a couple of j
canteens and started dowa the riiige to j
Squire Sexton's A brash fee ce ran
down the hill as far as the censer of his
house and be:.ng cc the opposite side cf
it none of the inmates could see me
More from habit than anything else I
pulled out my sis-shooter as I turned
the corner. The front door was open
and as I stcr-ped across the threshold a
section of the kitchen Soor uprose and
Obediah with a quart measure of moon- !
shine whicky in each hand stood before j
me. There was a six-shooter in his j
belt, but I covered him and made him !
step out into the room. After disarm- ?
ing him I fired my revolver several
times to attract the attention of my j
bailiffs. When they arrived in response
to the signal, we searched the house
cellar. Set up there were four eighty
gallon stills, and ranged against lb-- !
wall3 were shout twenty barrels of
prime moonshine, besides several hun- ?
dred gallons of siugliugs and three !
ho2sheads of beer. The smoke of the
i
still Qres went up <ne house chimney !
and the slop wa? drained off through
underground pipes to a natural basin j
about ?2U0 yards from the bouse where !
it was caught in a tank and afterwards 1
carted away and fed to the 'Squire's' j
hogs." It will be remembered that ten
or twelve years > Bald Mountain in
North Carolina was thought to be in a
state of actual volcanic eruptieo I* rum- !
hied and roared, heaved and retched, ?biir j
seams opened on its side and thick clouds j
of smoke issued therefrom. Tho ignorant
mountaineers living in the vicinity
thought that the end of the world was
at hand. A local revival preacher took
advantage cf the strange phenomena, !
and by vi^orouslv appealer' te the !
J .> ? . es
Jue superstitious fears of bis hearer?, j
made hundreds of converts. Scientific i
men investigated the alleged -"erup?

sent dowa a special commissioner to i
write it up. '1 ho matter was r.cvcr ;
