which, police said, cost at least $25,-
600 to build, and so large that it may
be necessary to dynamite the house in
which it is located to destroy it, was
being guarded here today by police
and federal authorities.
The still has vats that measure
fourteen by eighteen feet and are six
feet deep, while the COTS run through
the entire house. Wines, alcohol,
mash and "moonshine" worth MANY
thousands of dollars, were found in
the house and destroyed.
The still was discovered when a
passer-by saw smoke and turned in a
fire alarm. One of the vats was found
overheated and was smoking.
No one was found at the house and
the proprietors have not been located.
