FURNISHED copper outfit that the prohI-
bition men state cost in the neiGhbor
hood of 81 ,0O0. And in which whiskey
was manufactured wholesale.
And il is highly probable that the
gasoline can operator will draw just AS
rich a prize in the United States Dis
,rict court as the owner of the costly
still.
For Uncle Sam plays no favorites.
