this gang for some time and we be-
| heve that Steve has broken the ice and
that this arrest will make it possible
for US to break up one of the big
distributing ends of the moonshine
business in Kenosha and it may lead
to the arrest of bunch Of men who
have been making the stuff"
Search Warrants Fly Fast.
Parnowski was taken into custody by
Robinson just after eight o'clock and
within an hour after he had been taken
to the jail, search warrants were being
ISSUED in the municipal court on which
the sheriff and his men were planning
to make some extensive Investigations
down along the Sheridan road, south.
There has been a steady stream OF
moon from this section Of the county
into Kenosha," declared one Of the men
at the sheriff's Office, land we have
been making every possible effort to
get hold of the men making it and the
men distributing it. We believe that
the arrest of this man Parnowski is
most important. He has already made
some statements and we expect him to
make more and We hope to break up
a gang which we believe has been busy
night and day in the distribution of
moonshine liquor in Kenosha"
Had Liquor in Ford Sedan.
Deputy Robinson started out early
today and he was on his way in from
his home in the town of Pleasant Prai-
RE when he sighted a new Ford sedan
car just little way ahead of him.
The car attracted his attention on &C
count of the manner in which it was
being driven. 1t caromed from one
side of the road to the other like one
of the "crazy automobiles" which hung
on Sundays Christmas tree in lot of
homes in Kenosha. Robinson came
alongside the automobile.
Where are you going?" he shouted
to the fellow at the wheel. The man
looked out with couple Of badly
bleared eyes and mumbled response,
and by this time Robinson's badge of
authority had been displayed and the
man was told to get out of the car.
II amt got nothin'," he told the Off
Ger as he protested against Robinson
taking possession of the car The man
appeared to be under the influence of
something stronger than water. After
considerable conversation Robinson
! managed to get possession of the car
and started the search.
Two Jugs Buried Under Blankets.
AS the investigation went forward,
Parnowski began to beg. "It's the first
time l ever had anything to do with
the deputy, as Robinson pulled gallon
f! jug out of the rear portion of the
sedan. The jug had been carefully
buried under a pile of blankets. Rob-
inson took a Whit at the jug and de-
cided to go farther. He dug down into
the mass of blankets and brought out
another larger jug. 1t contained five
gallons of the liquor. Parnowski when
| he reached the jail, appeared to be
decidedly under the influence and he
had forgotten lot of things that the
officers expected him to know. He re-
| membefed some names, however. and
these names were later transferred to
search warrants. Other arrests in the
case we're expected to follow during
the day.
In Decidedly Wet District.
! 1t was declared that the confseated
automobile was picked up in decided
ly "wet' district along the Sheridan
road some 81 miles south of the city
and it was recalled that Crusader Scho-
ley had worked with considerable sue
cess in this district several months ago
1t is believed that there is big plant
for the manufacture of the moonshine
in the immediate vicinity of the place
where Parnowski was arrested this
morning. Parnowski is Russian, 80
years of age, and it is believed that
several other Russians were associated
with him in the operation of the booze
railway.
