On Monday afternoon Sheriff T.C. Wade and deputy sheriff Emmett Chaplain captured a moonshine whiskey outfit in the woods between Core creek and Harlowe creek. The still was about a 40-gallon capacity affair. Some 10 or 12 barrels of mash were destroyed and the still was brought to town. At a distance of perhaps half a mile from the still several kegs were found, in one of which there were three or four gallons of liquor. Nothing is known as to who the owner of the still may be.
