Noon Shine

Deputy I S. Marshal Peacock
and Deputy Collector Stlckney
added another jewel to their Of.
fetal crowns yesterday morning,
oy breaking up another upright,
just and honest citizen," who was
trying to make an honest living,
by making his syrup sklmmingS,
"a worthless waste producD into
the delightful beverage known as
moonshine.
Mr.. Peacock received Informal
ton Sunday night that a still
with about one hundred gallons
Of whisky was located near Wild
wood and that it would probably
be moved soon, and that if he
wanted 1t, to come at once.
At lis Monday morning he
and the husthng deputy collector
were on their way to Wildwood :.
eager for the fray, and thirsty for
gore (whisky)
Reaching Wildwood in the still
small hours, they procured a
team and amid pitch darkness
and d cold, drizzllng rain, they
started for the scene of action
which they reached at the first
break Of morning.
They arrested their victlm,
whom they found busy with his
cane juice, with the aid of two
double barreled, breech loading
shotsuns, we'll charged with buck
shot, and a Winchester rife,
which happily had the desired
effect, without more than beng
pie ctd IN evidence.
Mr.. Peacock stood gu ,rd,
while Mr.. Stlckney and the guide
proceeded to unearth the 100 gal
Ions of moonshine. After a long
and tedious search, which neceS-
STATED handling several hundred
jugs of various sizes, smashing
locks, etc, they were rewarded
not only by finding the moon
shine, but the still also, as well
as some beer in process Of fer
mentation. They loaded the still,
liquor and prisoner into the
wagon and brought them in. The
wiley transgressor Is stopping
with sheriff Nugert at present.
Mr.. Stlckney Is getting a fine
collection of distillery apparatus,
and anyone desiring to venture
IN the business of distiIIlng may
gain some points by looking over
his stock.
The prisoner was given a hear
ing before Judge Williams This
and bound over in $500

him.

been secured, together with right

have been signed for a standard
guage road to be completed and
equipped by June 20, 1900.
The distance is a fraction over
five miles. The grading will be
begun Immediately and completed
before harvest time. The curse
is level, requiring no trestlework,
high grades or deep cuts. No
stock will be sold or financial aid
solicited in the enterprise, Mr..
McCullough having ample funds
at his command with which to
construct and equip the line, to-
gether with abundant faith in it's
success as a money maker. Ever
since the first assembly meeting he

it was full time to act, with the

out the state, as far as I was able
to see, are excellent, even better,
in fact, than last year. Farmers
throughout the state are prosper
ing and are hopeful. Times are
good and the amount of business
being done by the merchants of
the North Dakota towns indicate
a steady advance in prosperity.
Wheat is very fair. In some
sections the crop will be excellent.
Oats are a good crop, as is fax,
though the acreage of both grains
is smaller than usual. All crops
are more or less late this year on
account of the late spring. As a
general statement, [ might say
that all crops are about a fair
average for the state, some Sec
tions being more favored than
others. This month will carry the
crops to a point where the danger
will be passed. In some sections
there has been a little hail, but
not enough to cause widespread
damage"
