its estimate on conditions prevailing

Abandonment Of acreage during the
winter was a little greater than in

Of May l, reports that 34.1G5, 900 acres

with nearly 100000 acres last year.
Shortage Of labor and a backward

in less abandonment than normally

those reasons allowing fields to stand

ed under and planted to other crops.

Princeton, H., April While
scouting for auto tire thieves in the
country south of l.add few night
ago. Sheriff S'paulding and a squad OF
his deputies ran upon a whisky still
in transit and the apparatu, was con
tiScated and taken TO the county jail
Several men who had the still in
charge escaped when their truck was
stopped by the sheriff but Bruno Pes
silio OF l.add was recognized ANA waa
later hailed into court and assessed a
fine Of $500 and costs,
The sheriff first ran upon the TRUCK
which carried the still Oh one Of the
roads between l.add and Spring Val
ley. He stepped the driver and look
ed over the contents Of the machine
to see If auto tires We're concealed
there. He found none, but recog
niled what appeared in the dark &c
be a large water heater The officers
drove on and the truck proceeded on
its way.
Later the sheriti's party swung
around on anothe. road and came
when the occupants CT the truck say
the SheriH rs car approaching, they
abandoned their driver and fled into
the timber. This situation appeared
strange TO Mr.. Spaulding. so he in
spected the boiler more closely and
found il to be one of the most com
rlete whisky ills yet found in Blu
reau county. The diver was ordered
10 bring the truck to Princeton, where
the still was unloaded at the county
jail.
The apparatus is a fine specimen OF
WOrkmansh hip. The base is a steel
boiler about five feet in height and
some four feet in diameter 1t is
welded together and sealed with tar.
The grain boiler is constructed OF
copper. and is equipped with all the
appliances used and connected with Il
regular still. The apparatus stands
more thai six feet high all toget her
and is complete in every detail. II is
estimated that he capacity would be
about gallon Of whisky an hour.
The cost of the still was probably
in the neighbCrhood OF $500.

today. The disagreement which arose
yesterday, causing Il walkout OF the
workmen who are laying the iounda-
ton Of the new Clegg building on Co
lumbuS street was settled at noon to-
day. when the contractor, Gus Smith.
agreed to put two bosses, a cement
foreman and a bricklayer foreman, on
the Job.
AT present only the cement work
is being done, and Mr.. Smith nor the
cement workers did not feel that il
was necessary to have bricklayer
foreman at work. A meeting was
held on Thursday evening, when it
was decided to call the strike yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock unless Il
foreman was put on the
job. Failure to comply with the re.
quest on the part OF the contractor
brought forth the edict to shut off the
cement mixer and stop work. All
building operations were stopped
there until O'Clock today
