Last Thursday Sheriff Brooks, deputy Gentry, Melvin Clayton and S.S. Oliver made a raid down in Flat River township, south of Hurdle Mills, and captured a large outfit and destroyed about 2,500 gallons of beer. No arrests were made on this raid.
On Saturday Sheriff Brooks said Melvin Clayton got a tip that moonshine was being made down in Holloways township. They gave it their attention and captured a still, destroyed a lot of beer and brought back one Buck Craddock who was in charge of the place. Buck was bound over to court and is now in jail awaiting trial.
