Four 40-gallon capacity copper stills were captured in Boon Hill township last week. County officers assisted by Federal officers captured three stills Friday and seized four gallons of whiskey and 590 gallons of beer. Two men, Richard Howell and his son, Walter Howell, were arrested but gave bond for their appearance in Recorder’s Court.
Another still was captured on the Princeton road near Community Church Saturday. It was found near the home of Mr. Dick Davis at Creech’s pond. One and a half gallons of whiskey and 200 gallons of beer were destroyed. No arrests were made at this still.
