from inlet to outlet, and had been
cooled by water placed in a ten-gallon
barrel.
Sheriff fEllis stated that some diff

as 1t was away from the road good
distance and in the thick Of the woods.
No whiskey was found and no arrests
were made as there was no one
around. There were hot Goals under
the still, which showed the still had
been in recent operation.
Tho mash destroyed totalled S05
gallons and might have made 10 gall

Investigation so far does not reveal
the fact that VIM. Franklin Is wanted.
and no action will be taken toward
bringing the negro back until it is
found that he is wanted on some ex-

bringing the negro back would be
quite large, and the county would not
