Deputy Sheriffs Capture Stills in Salem, Walnut Grove, Sept. 12, 1924

Capture Two Stills

Oxford, Sept. 12—Deputy Sheriffs Bragg, Walker, and Klapp captured two stills this afternoon. One in Salem township, one of 60 gallon capacity. At this still they found two men at work building the furnace for the still. The two men ran, constable Bragg in hot pursuit. Bragg was not fast enough for the man who had the iron bars staring him in the face.

The other still was found in Walnut Grove township. This one was of 40 gallon capacity, and according to offices had the fire still in the furnace. The men had just completed a run and carried with them the cap and worm together with what moonshine that they made.
