A Huron Man Who Experiments in the
Distilling of Whisky Likely to Have Some
Trouble With Uncle Samuel-Hc Tells
His Story.
G. w. Flock, the Huron mineral water
builder, is in danger of getting into trou-
BILE with Uncle Sam. Plock wished to dis
til some pure malt whisky in 1886. He APP
piled to local deputy revenue collector
for license. The latter forwarded the APP
plication to his chief, who replied by adj
vising Plock to go ahead and see if he
could distill the liquor. If he could a Ii
cense would issue: if not there was no use
of issuing a permit. Plock had little
boiler and worm made; then he made about
two gallons of whisky. About that time
the prohibitionists began talking about
shutting up the saloons. when the willy
distiller. fearing these enemies. made no
more whisky, neither did he sell any
whisky; but to copy his words, Il drank it
all myself, except what the deputy col
lector, who lives here. drank-he sampled
some Of it. This is Plocks story. Re-
Gently Capt. Nave, deputy collector,
dropped i'll to see the Huron distiller. The
same story was told the officer. Upon
Nave's asking for some Of the liquor, Plock
said he believed that he had more of it.
Finally be took up an old bottle and
poured out half an ounce-all it contained
saying: L don't know whether that is
some OF it or some alcohol I shipped from
Chicago. The captain put the liquid into
a vial and went away Plock saws he did
not mean to violate the law. and believes
he did not; also, that he had the consent
