Last Thursday night Sheriff Abernethy captured a blockade still, which he found on the branch which runs by Lincoln Lithia, about one mile from the Inn. It is a complete outfit, and used an oil burner for heat. The worm and all of the equipment is of copper, and is of the portable kind, it being so constructed and arranged as to make it convenient for removing. Three barrels of beer was poured in the branch. It is on exhibit at the Sheriff’s office and is one of five stills now on exhibition there, none of which are of the same make or size.
