Federal Agent D.F. Widenhouse and Deputy Sheriff Honeycutt seized a 19-gallon copper still cap and worm this morning in a house in No. 2 township. The name of the man arrested was not given out by Mr. Widenhouse.
It was stated that the officers had been watching the house for several days, hoping to find the still in operation and the owner at home when they made the raid. Acting on the presumption that the “run” was about through, the officers went to the house at 2 o’clock this morning, found the owner in bed but the still not working.
However, the still and its contents were still warm when the officers made the raid. The still was in the kitchen-dining room of the house, it was reported, and was operated with three oil burners. The beer was in an attic room just over the kitchen-dining room.
About a gallon and a half of liquor and a quantity of beer also were found by the officers.
