S E Q U 0 Y AH CO 0NTY DEMOCRAT»• JJoe Morgan, one of the best known sleuths of the fc lerl prohibition enforcement bureau-u. Muskogee, failed1 \to pass a civil service examination given last June, and will probably be out of a job.Ullus Pollan, another sleuth, who has worked with Morgan in this coun-ty, also failed to make his “grades” and must go according to the examiners.They were given notice that their services would be dispensed with within 30 days, if other agents who passed the examination can be found.However, it is said in civil service circles, in Muskogee, that the examination was so stiff that none of the numerous candidates who took the examination passed. So it is believed Morgan and Pollan will be retainedwest ofindefinitely.Morgan lived two mile Sallisaw before his appointment as a dry sleuth and later moved his fam-* Aily to Muskogee to be nearer to headquarters.So far as efficient work in enforcing the dry laws, the “dry leaguers” who inaugurated the civil service system as part of their program of “uplifting the service” is concerned they will never find a man to “strut his stuff”' and throw the fear into moonshiners more than Joe Morgan.A.i. The bootleggers of Sequoyah coun-nty have feared Morgan more than any other dry sleuth, it is said.Morgan is the sleuth that “cleaned” Moffett just before the holidays. He has also turned the trick on several former occasions, when it seemed that county officials, were unable to cope with the situation.The former Sequoyah-co man has borne the brunt of federal enforcement in this section and in mostinstances Pollan has been with himon his tour of Sequoyah county.
