TEN STILLS CAPTURED
BY NORTON OFFICERS

Norton, Va, March 2l.-Rev
enue Officers Palmer, Hurt,
Davis and Lowry made what tx
termed the biggeat moonshine
still raid that Wise county has
ever had They stole into the
moonshine district of the NOUN
rains unobserved last Friday
and Saturday and succeeded in
capturing and destroying ten
stills, all within two miles of
the Pound, Va, postoilice. The
officers said they found aud
poured out somewhere near ten
thousand gallons OF beer and
an unlimited amount of singh
ings were destroyed. There
was no gun play by either the
officers or mooushiners, as the
only shots were signal shots to
warn other moonshiners of the
presence of the officers.
The singular feature of this
big raid is the fact that not
drop of liquor was found and
not a single moonshiner was
captured az they had been
warned in time to get the
white lightning" and make a
getaway.
