Oilie Harris seized in Oklahoma liquor bust rebound
In Shawnee Oklahoma a 43 year old wholesale liquor czar known as Oilie Harris yielded 772 bottles of tax paid whiskey to state crime bureau and Lincoln county sheriff's raiders after landing in an Okemah jail following a car wreck. Harris, once a bootleg kingbee in Pottawatomie county, runs a farm near Prague thought to be a hub of liquor distribution across four counties. The piece notes how Prohibition remains an illusion and predicts Harris may return to business within 30 days, or a rival may fill Shawnee’s supply.
