Young’s Fine Dog
Uncovers Liquor
Carl Lail sat in a cell in the police station this morning
and thought of the large, slim dog which is the proud possession of Special
Agent Glenn Young of Asheville. Lail also thought of seven gallons of corn
liquor which was taken from him by Mr. Young of Asheville. Lail, also of West
Hickory, incidentally thought of his horse and buggy and of $70 which he had
paid for the juice wholesale. He was not counting his total loss, including
profits and explaining to the recorder.
But Lail thought most about that police dog and he is
willing to agree that it is a good one. It all happened about 4:30 this
morning, Lail is what you might call an early riser. He had been to South
Mountains and was returning with his cargo.
On another mission bent, Special Agent Young and the Hickory
chief had passed the horse and buggy in which a lone man road. Not so the dog.
He suspected Mr. Lail’s motives. This dog had never seen Mr. Lail before. It
did not know he admittedly was a sly old fox and that he could put any number
of gallons over on occasion. So not knowing this, the dog made an investigation
and summoned his master, who turned his car around and came back. The result
was seven gallons of corn juice.
Lail is in the charge of the road work for the Hickory
township road commission and is on that job.
