The Cleburne New Era
NEWSPAPER NOTICES FROM "THE CLEBURNE NEW ERA"  for JUNE 1905

NEWSPAPER issue of June 10, 1905

DISTILLERS ARRESTED

Deputy Marshal M. W. Carden captured two alleged distillers who have been 
wanted for some time by the United States courts.  The men arrested were John 
Floyd and Jim Floyd, father and son, of Cleburne County. For some days past 
the deputy marshall has endeavored to capture these men and was always 
unsuccessful, so recently while in the neighborhood of their home he left 
subpoenas for them to appear in another case in Commissioner Randolph's court, 
which they did, and they were immediately placed under arrest, charged with 
owning and operating a distillery.
