STILL TAKEN
IN 9Th Ward
Chief Of Police Harry A. Ort Captures
Small Moonshine Still in Old Broom
Factory Owner By Spen-
Ger KlmbrOugh.

Chief Of Police Harry A. Ort at
about 10 o'clock Thursday morning
captured a complete moonshine outfit
in part Of the old Russell Broom
Factory along the c. G o. railroad in
the Sixth ward. The still and its
equipment is said to be the property Of
Spencer Kimbrough, colored, who was
arrested by the Chief and lodged in the
local jail.
Some time ago Chief Ort had good
tip that Kimbrough was making moon
shine whisky and disposing of it in
Maysville. At that time the officer
warned Kimbrough that unless he
stopped his operations he would catch
him but Kimbrough stoutly protested
his innocence of any wrong doing
Since that time Chief Ort has kept a
pretty close watch ON the place. The
officer kept himself Informed as to
Kimbrough's every movement and he
was under the impression, from his
actions, that Kimbrough was about tc
make a run of liquor Thursday morn.

ed to him that the liquor was being
made and then made a raid on the
place. He found the complete outfit
but the mash was not ready for distill

Friday morning.
The outfit consists of can for {
boiler and very small copper coil
probably the best coil yet captured II
this section. The mash was being fer
mented in two wooden lard casks
Cracked corn, such as is being pur
chased here for chicken feed, was uset
but no manufactured liquor was dis
covered. Officers say that the outfit
made no more than about gallon o.
whisky every three days and Kim
brought is said to have been disposinf
Of his product very readily.
Kimbrough was in his house wher
the Chief made the raid and was
promptly arrested. Upon his person
was found s27 in money. He was
placed in Jail waiting trial and the
moonshine outfit was removed to po-
lice headquarters as evidence. A guam
tity of the mash was preserved for evi
dence but the greater part of it was
thrown away.
Kimbrough was brought before
Judge Whitaker Thursday afternoon
at 2 o'clock for an examination ant
after hearing the evidence Judge Whit
aker held him for grand jury investi
cation and fixed his bail at one thou
sand dollars, in default of which HI
was taken to Jail.
