Pulls Gun On I I Wife He Tried I I To'Enlighten Voluntary Selected Davenport Artillery Planning Big Event Is Family Affair. June 10 is to be the biggest day the Davenport artillery has ever had according to announcements which were issued by the battaliou headquarters yesterday.

The annual picnic commemorating the third anniversary of federal recognition of the present Battery 'B' is to be held at Forest Park on that date. It's to be a family affair and each member of the orgnization is asked to bring his family and friends. The batterynien will be served eats but civilians are requested to bring their own lunches as the expense of serving to persons not in the army would be too great for the artilleTy to pay.

MuhB and his aides during the last Suspicious-looking dark smoke rising above the trees on the island caused Frank F. Schutter, wealthy Pleasant Valley farmer and owner of the Island, to get in touch with prohibition authorities, who timed their raid for Saturday afternoon. Riding to Pleasant Valley in Mr.

Schutter's luxurious Cadillac sedan, Mr. Mulis and his squad embarked in a rowboat for their objective, Mr. Schutter acting as pilot, Deputy U. S. Marshal Ter-.

ence Kinney as steerer, and the prohibition agent as oarsman. Picking their way thru underbrush, the raiders came upon the houseboat at the Illinois side of the island. When prolonged knocks on the door of the boat failed to elicit any response, the door was open-' ed. Inside the cabin boat a sight to astonish, even a hardened liquor sleuth met the eyes of the officers. Two 30-gallon stills, a double condensing apparatus, stood in the middle of the floor, over a gas stove.

The rest of the floor was occupied by hogsheads of whisky mash. Fuel for the gas stove was supplied from a gasoline tank on the foot of the boat. Another gas stove, evidently for emergency use, was stowed away in a cubby hole. A hydrometer, used for testing the specific gravity ot whisky, a jug containing three gal-ions of the finished product, a small quantity of syrup, used for flavoring, and a number of children's toys sling shot's and a miniature boat were found in corners and on unused sections of the floor. An ax in the powerful hand of Marshal Kinney made short work of the hogsheads of mash, while the liquor manufacturing apparatus and' paraphernalia was 'loaded into the rowboat and taken to the shore.

"Mayme" Keller, a clammer on Spencer's Island, told Mr. Muhs that the bootleggers had landed' on the island on Memorial day or the day after, coming from somewhere up the river. He said the party consisted of a man, woman and two children, a girl and a boy. None of these persons were located Saturday afternoon, altho the fact that the stills were still w-arm when the raiders arrived was taken as evidence that they had made their departure a short time previous. A small blue thought to have been used by the bootleggers, was discovered tied to the Iowa "The apparatus found in the cabin boat is worth every bit of a thousand dollars," Mr.

Muhs said, after the raid.
