Ono of the best captures lie hasmade during his six years of ser-
vice¬
for tho Government wasmade last week when ho locatedand destroyed the Old Grannyat the mouth of Jctts Creek inBroathitt county Tins still hasbeen in operation for ten yearsnail no mnrshnl or set of revenuemen were able to locate it untilMarshal Mays found its locationAccompanied by Marshal FrankElliott of Louisville and fourother men they raided tho placeat night and burned it Jack Gab
is believed to have been theoperator of the still and a warranthas been issued for his arrestWarrants have also been issuedfor the arrests of Elijah GabbardJerry Deaton and Shelby Whitecharging them with assisting Gabbard in operating the place
It is ono of the oldest stills inBreathitt county Marshal Mayscame near being killed twice intho raid First ho was attackedby a four foot copperhead snakethat hung its fangs in his trouserlegs and again his horse fell from-a cliff and pinioned him to theground Ills leg was very badlybruised in the fall but in both in-
stances¬
ho escaped without seriousinjury
One of the reasons why theOld Granny still Had operated
so long without being found wasof tho shrewdness of Gab
bard Although the still was intwo hundred yards of his home hohad made it n practice to go fromhis house up n hollow for nearlyn mile cross a creek and then retrace his steps through a creekbottom so that no path was madeleading to the still TJio only waythat Marshal Mays as able tolocate it was throughivconfedpratoof Gabbard who cl himHo did not catch Gabbwrdr
