Va., though the curiosity of a young girl who had been hired by David Stenchel to nurse his wife in sickness. Noticing in one of the rooms of the lesidence an old trunk, she, through curiosity, opened and looked into it. She saw in it a large lot of nickels, quarters and halfdollars, besides several dies for making spurious coin. She went home and told her father what she had seen, and he communicated the information to the* proper officers. Warrants were issued for the arrest of Stenchel, Campbell and Williams, and, after a desperate fight with the moonshiners, the officers succeeded in arresting the three men above named.
