Appears in "The Wapanucka Press" 12 May 1904, Wapanucka, Johnston County, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA MOONSHINERS
A Quartet of Whisky Makers, a Still and Some Spirits Found
Grand: Sheriff Smith returned from Beason, this county, with four moonshiners - Ezra Mull, W. G. Oldaker and two sons. He also located the still, a half barrel of whisky and several gallons on mash. One of the Oldakers was captured after seven shots had been fired by the officer. A fifth member of the gang escaped.
Just how long the still has been in operation is not known, but the supposition is that at different times it has been in operation for months. The sheriff has endeavored for some time to locate the still and get the guilty parties.
