Last Monday, as Sheriff Mor-
gan Wright and E. L.
were returning to Paducah from
Altus, Oklahoma, they rode upon
Guy West, a boy about seven-
teen years old, who was driving
to town in a hack. There were
two buckets of eggs in the hack
of the vehicle. Mr. Wright de-
cided he would see if eggs jwere
the only things in the buckets,
so he ran his hands down awinng
the hen fruit and dug up ajiuiit
jar of whiskey in each b»cj£t-t.
When questioned about thl- fire
water the boy said he knew# noth-
ing about -it being thereV That
a man by the name of SpeetjjtfTfad
requested him to bring twi eggs
to town for him, and thirty was
all he knew of the matte^^until
the sheriff found the boo^e. The

and found therein three old-time

and its contents were of a make

The Mexican had started to

was a big pile of rocks around
the tree, which he removed. He
