BOOZE PLANT LOCATED
IN SHACK NEAR IG0.
Process OF Manufacture Included the
Leaching OF Denatured Alcohol
Through Charcoal and Sand, and
Adding Sugar.

Sheriff Jeffries and his deputies,
Saturday, raided a booze factory at
Igo, arrested four men, and secured
about three gallons of the product of
the still, if it may be called such.
The plant was operated in a shack
on the homestead of c. G. Collier and
the men under arrest are c. c. Robin
son, a pioneer of this section, Whit
Robinson his son, Ora Allen and a
man giving the name of Smith.
The plant was a very simple one,
the process of manufacture consisting
of teaching denatured alcohol through
charcoal and sand and the adding of
a little burnt sugar for sweetening
or color.
The men are in Jail, and will be for
tunate if they do not find themselves
charged with a federal offense.
The sheriff's office has had the men
under observation for some time, and
Saturday Sheriff Jeffries and Deputy
Torrance proceeded to a point where
they could watch the Collier shack
and another one nearby which is the
home of c. c. Robinson and family.
From their vantage point at a safe
distance they observed everything that
was going on, the comings and goings
between the house and the shack and
a cave nearby, the carrying of things
in a sack, and finally the secretion
of the booze in a field. No move was
made by the men being watched until
they were first satisfied that no one
was observing them. Care in this re-
spect was always observed. After as
suring themselves that the coast was
clear the men entered the Collier
shack and were hidden from view for
probably two hours or more. During
this time Sheriff Jeffries dispatched
Deputy Torrance to town for Deputy
Walworth Finally Whit Robinson
emerged from the shack, and after
cautiously looking around, went up
hill into a field covered with Jimhill
for a distance of about half a mile.
where he left something in sack. On
returning he stuck sticks in the ground
as a guide to the place. Deputies Tor
rance and Walworth arrived about
this time and with the sheriff drove
to the shack and placed the men un-
der arrest. Leaving the men under
guard of his deputies, Sheriff Jeffries
followed the line of sticks into the
field and found about three gallons
of booze, which he possessed and with
the prisoners returned to town. The
shack was first Investigated, admit
tance being gained through a broken
window The place was locked and
the key was not found
Sheriff Jeffries is of the opinion
that others were interested in the
plant and has hopes of connecting
them with it.

BORGLUM STANDS GROUND
ON AEROPLANE CHARGES
Writes Letter to President in Which
He Says Detailed Evidence VIII Be
Given to Senate.

Gutzon Borglum, who recently made
a report on the aeroplane situation
which reflected strongly on the air
craft board, and who was in turn
charged with using his position as in
vestigator for his own financial benefit,
is out in a letter in his own defense,
addressed to the president. in which
he says

States, through Senator Brandegee Of

with affidavits attached and relating

issued to deceive the nation and serv-
ing no other possible purpose except to
warn Germany to hurry her own air

Never, I believe in the history of
this country has group of men been
given so completely a nations re-
sources. together with the administra-
tion and the peoples confidence, as
have the aircraft group. and never have
such condolences been more wantonly
abused. | refer here to Major Gener-

Deeds and Colonel Montgomery. These
civilian and military members appear
everywhere in the deliberate and
elaborate machinery that placed and
held the colossal contracts among
few-they appear everywhere in the
/ fine network of falsehood and camOu-
flage, and they included Mr.. Baker as
their partner in the common state
ments to the public-they deliberately
/ lied to you and framed up their state
ments, particularly their failures
misleading congress before the senate
military committee. and they directly
are responsible for no engines no
planes, no propellers and our vanished
appropriations. These men shaped
the course of our producing. selected
the producers. created their agents
who have tangled up and delayed pro-
duction, and they are responsible. It
was this group who refused to consid-
er the emergency and need of a nation
at war. and calmly planned the crea-
ton of what every informed man
knows was impossible to produce
the aeroplane motor. II was these
men who refused the opportunities
availed to our government to secure

engines of Europe. and it was these
same men who have held themselves

c. F. Eggers was in town Saturday,
in a very cheerful frame of mind 1t
had just come to him, he said, that he
was not a German. He had always
considered himself such, and of late
he has not been happy over the
thought. saying he did not like the
way the Germans have been acting of
late" It had just occurred to him
that he was born in Denmark and be-
came a German by conquest when
Germany took the province of Schles-
wig-Holstein when he was a small
boy, in 1864. From now on I'm a
Dane" said Mr. Eggers.

ate and house.
Whether congress will under
take at the present session up
ward revision of the war reve-
nue. law of last fall depends up
on the impression made by this
statement, leaders of congress
say. If it demonstrates that
: it is essential to act now instead
of waiting until December, as
: planned, hope of adjournment
by July / will go glimmering
I and congress will probably be
in session until fail. Secretary

schools closed. The police have

are. not Jews are left undisturbed.
The Jewish press is energetically
