MOONSHINING IN
ARKANSAS CONTINUES
Revenue Office at Little Rock Receives
Reports of Illicit Still Almost
Daily. Location and Seizure
are Different Things.

80 seldom does one hear of moon
shining in Arkansas that it is com
mon belief that the illicit manufacture
Of liquor within the borders of this
state is thing of the past. This.
however, is not the case, as NAV be
seen by an inspection of reports made
to the iternal revenue office in Little
Rock. Almost daily this office re-
ceives a report Of an illicit still, but
the location of the still, and its seiz-
ure, are two different things.
One report shows there is a still
IN operation, at times, in densely
populated portion of the state, vet
1T has been impossible for the officers.
although number of trips have been
made, to get hands upon the outfit.
1t is known to the officers that the
still, when not in operation, is an
chored in the bottom of lake, but
until all lakes in that section are
drained, the revenue officers are at a
disadvantage in locating it.
Government agents have reports on
stills in about half the counties of
Arkansas, and little fuss is made
when one of these fall into the hands
of the government. A seizure was
recently made in Yell county which
shows the completeness of the govern
ment officers in following up infor-
nation ON Illicit stills. A known
moonshiner left Alabama. He car
ried little baggage, but he did express
a package to himself at Casa. Ark.
The officers suspected this, and later
when empty kegs began to be a por-
tion of the freight received at Casa,
the officers transferred their search
to that section, soon locating the still
which officers in Alabama had sought
for years. The package sent by ex-
press had been the worm for the still,
which was smuggled past Alabama
officers when the trail there became
too hot
Many of the moonshiners operating
in Arkansas are men who left Kentuc-
ky, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama
when the officers closed in too close
on them, and it is only a question of
time until these stills will be captur-
ed or the law breakers will be forced
to make another change.
