Officers Pour Out New-Made Liquor

Federal officers assisted by Chief C.R. Cable, of this city, found and poured out 14 gallons of whiskey and 150 gallons of beer in Boon Hill township near Atkinson pond Sunday afternoon about 3 o’clock. It is said that the liquor was hid in different places, some in hollow logs and some under brush. The still had been moved but the furnace was found and everything around the still indicated recent operations, the utensils being hot when the officers arrived.
