Deputy Sheriffs captured a 20-gallon distilling plant in Spring Hill township on Saturday. The plant was not in operation; no beer or whiskey was found.
John McAllister, a negro, was captured about 100 yards from the plant and was placed under arrest. There was no evidence against him in the distilling case, but the officers thought he was on his way to the still. He was detained and it was later found that there was a warrant out for his arrest on another charge, and he was detained on that charge.
