Saved From Ruthless Hands.

Thomas J. Fuller, a white man from Paulding county, was yesterday bound over to the U.S. court by Judge Nash R. Broyles on the charge of illicit distilling, and behind the story of his arrest is an incident, told by the arresting officers, which shows the love of his alleged moonshiner for the still claimed to be his. The arrest was made by Deputy Marshals Scott and Collector Pat Moore. When they neared the house of Fuller, in Paulding county, having been previously informed that there was a still on his place conducted by him, they saw some one run out of the rear door of the house and make for the woods ahead of them. This they think to have been Fuller, although they have no positive evidence that it was he. When they arrived at the stillhouse, however, they found that the still had been removed, evidently but a short time before, for the traces of it were still plainly visible. After making a thorough search for the still, which was futile, they returned to the house and arrested Fuller, who said never a word in regard to the still or concerning his arrest. The officers say the man could easily have escaped, but hat he knew his still would be destroyed, and so chose to save the still and surrender himself. He made no statement before Judge Broyles yesterday and gave bond for his appearance at the next term of the U.S. court.
