had their lair in that out of the way
place. They brought back with them
J. B. Wright, one of the four farmers
on the island who is now in the Pulaski
county jail on the charge of illicit dis
tilling. Another man whom the of
ficers were after, one Bill Brown,
made good his escape through warn
ing by a confederate. They reached
the island and found Wright
at home. Eight gallons of whisky
found in his smoke house was de
stroyed. He said that “a man just
asked me if he couldn’t leave a keg
with me a few days,” and that he did
not know what it contained Several
mash tubs were found in an old build
ing and were burned. Wright said he
did not know they were there, or
what they were used for; he never
saw a still, and did not know how
whisky is made. As they were leav
ing Wright’s house they heard two
shots from a shot gun, which they be
lieve were fired by Mrs. Wright, as
she was the only one left at the house.
The shots were answered by a shot
from a Winchester down in the
swamps, about 400 yards from the
house, and when they went to look
for Bill Brown, Bill Brown was gone.
