How is Sylder finally apprehended for bootlegging?

Sylder, meanwhile, is getting ready for another whiskey run. He stops by Mr. Eller's shop first and fills up his gas tank before he drives to Ownby's orchard to pick up his cargo. Once arrived, he gathers all the bottles--this particular job, apparently, is a big one--sloshing back and forth between the road where his car is parked and the alcove where the whiskey is stashed. As he is leaving, his car is having some trouble and even dies. He manages to revive, but the remedy, evidently, is only temporarily, and he winds up stalling on the bridge.
