Police Find 85-Gallon Still, 2,000 Gallons of Beer, April 10, 1922

Discover Still in Center Township

Deputy Sheriffs Mike Caffey, J. Floyd Brown and Benbow made a trip to Center township Saturday afternoon and found a still, an 85-gallon outfit, and 2,000 gallons of beer. The still was going at fair blast when the officers swooped down upon it.

Three white men who were standing around the whiskey factory broke and ran, making their escape through a thick patch of woods.
