Admission, July 20.-United States
Deputy Revenue Collectors P. D. Bush
and G. P. McClurkin have returned
from Cleburne county after having de-
stroyed one of the largest stills that
has been located within recent wears
in the basement of the h ONE of Charles
Pesnell, one of the most prominent cit
| liens of the county, who lacked only
| 20 votes of receiving the nomlna ton
for sheriff in the recent May primary.
| The officers were awaiting a train
| to return to Admission when they were
told of this still. which Is located with
in 100 yards of the old courthouse build
ing in the very center of Edwardsville.
They entered by a rear window and
found their way to the cellar by means
of trap door under a bed. The still
outfit was equipped with perfect wa
ter connection by means of piping from
the outside. the water which cooled the
worm being brought 6rom a, nearby
well through rubber hose. The water
was held in barrel. which was placed
under the waterspout of the house.
leaving the impression that it contained
rainwater
Pesnell was absent from the house when
the raid was begun, and while the Of
ficers were at work his old maid sister
came upon them and coolly asked II any
thing was wrong. She was told that she
could not enter the house, and she then
asked the officers If they belonged to
several secret orders.
1t is said that this still has been in
operation for the past five years, this
being the first time that it has been mo-
Tested. The officers destroyed the S0-gal-
Ion plant, 800 gallons of beer, % gallons
of moonshine whisky and % fermenters.
No arrests were made as no marshal was
with the revenue collectors.
Due to the prominence of the alleged
operator and to the fact that the still was
located In the very heart of the town, the
destruction of the outfit brought genuine
surprise to the uninitiated citizens of Ed
wardsville, who were attracted by the
stencil which accompanied the demolition
of the property.
