Gallon of Real Booze from Sky

Martinsville, Va.—B.A. Anthony, prohibition officer of this section, was the recipient of an unusual gift a few days ago.

An unknown person, traveling by airplane, to some unknown station, dropped in his yard a hot water bottle containing a gallon of real apple brandy. Attached to the hot water bottle was the following note:

“For B.A. Anthony. We have 220 gallons and leave you one.”

Mr. Anthony lives only a few miles from this city.
