STILL, MADE 0F MILK
 GAN, IS TAKEN IN RAID ON RANCH NEAR TEMPE

A galvanized iron milk can or 70 gallon capacity, connected with a coil was the still used by a southside rancher for the manufacture of liquor according to deputies of the United States marshalIs office, who raided ranch yesterday in the vicinity of Tempe.
 The still was confiscated by Fred Weage, deputy marshall, ana $. Smith of the department of justic who engineered the raid. As yet the manufacturer of the liquor has not been apprehended, hut. according to the officers, his arrest is only matter of hours. According to the authori- ties, the man for whom the federal warrant has been issued is a Mexican.
 Besides the still the officers pro-
