Seven Stills Closed, Seven Men Arrested, July 24, 1924

Friday an Unlucky Day for Blockaders

Federal officer A.B. Adams with deputies Kyle Matthews and H.H. McLeod made a successful raid in Grove township last Friday, capturing two stills and four men.

Three other raids were made the same day in different directions. On one they found a barrel of wine made of plums. On another they captured 20 pints of whiskey.

Three more men were captured on the last raids, making seven in all that were arrested during the day for violation of prohibition law.
