Bluffs Farmer
Finds Still in
His Cornfield
Moonshiners Located Plant on
His Farm and Used His
Corn for Manufacture of
Whisky, He Discovers.

The best booze story that has de-
vclored i'll Council Bluffs since the
beginning Of the open season for
.noonshiners and bootleggcrs, was
made public yesterday. None Of
the still finders and booze hunters
-cornccted with the federal or state
prohibition departments knew any
thing about it. There were elc-
r,cnts of real originality about the
tale that gives it unusual interest,
A whisky still was set up n the
center of a big cornfield, several
hundred gallons of moonskine
evolved from the ripening corn and
all OF the product and the still and
paraphernalia removed without de.
lection or the remotest knowledge
Of the owner of the field.
l.. Peary, farmer living south Of
Council Bluffs, leased a large tract
of corn land south of the Union
Pacific dump For the last week or
more he has been gathering his corn
cror, which is running about 50
bushels per acre. In the progress
of his work he came upon section
If field near the center where all OF
the corn had been shucked for about
an acre.
When he investigated, he found a
first-class still i'll the center Of the
dcnuded patch. 1t was full OF cola
mask and several small tubs and
urge pals were near. Prints on the
ground showed where kegs and jugs
hal stood. The ground around the
s.i1 was covered with shclled corn
and some of the tubs contained
soaked corn.
rs near as Peary could determine,
about 80 bushels of his corn had
been converted into whisky during
the several weeks the operations ap-
parently had been conducted. He
left the still and vessels until his last
trip in the evening, but found they
had disappeared when he returned
to collect them with his wagon.
