A Ford car was wrecked on the hill leading down out Wilkesboro late Friday evening just after dark that contained 2 three-gallon kerosene cans of liquor and a bottleful, when it was apparently taking the whole street and ran into the jitney bus of C.M. Tevepaugh, who was returning to Wilkesboro from the evening train with three passengers. The car was that of Ed. Phillips, who lives at Curtis bridge, who with one or two other young fellows, lost no time in getting away, leaving the cargo where it ran into the embankment on the north side one fore wheel entirely smashed and to Policeman Lenderman who emptied the six gallons and bottleful into the ditch and stored the car. A cartridge belt was also found in the car.
