Usually, it is a woman who gives the Sheriff the tip which results In breaking up some moon-shine business, but it was just the reverse last Monday night. Sheriff Brooks and Deputy Gentry had information concerning a plant down in Flat River township and made their way to investigate. They stopped their car and began the search, and when drawing nigh the outfit, a woman got in their car and proceeded to use the horn to its utmost capacity, thus warning the operator. They found the still, which weas turning out the real thing, but the men made their get-away. The still was of about 100-gallon capacity, which was destroyed.
This is the first still they have captured in some time, and it was hoped this business had been just about stopped in this County.
