WARRANTS ARE OUT
STILL is IN THE JAIL

Sheriff Brady added to his al
ready large collection of moonshine
stills when he returned home Thurs
day night, bringing back a five
gallon copper vessel which he found
together with other discriminating
evidence at the hot springs near the
Howard ranch, in the northern part
of the county.
Acting upon first-hand knowledge
he caused to be issued warrants of
arrest for Lester and Byron How
ard and others, a violation of the
prohibition law being charged.
1t is believed that the Towards
and their gang of moonshiners had
been doing a thriving business in
liquoring up their neighborhood and
that they are now in hiding some
where over the Oregon line.
The hot springs formed an ideal
spot for moonshine manufacture
and one of the appurtenants de-
stroyed by Sheriff Brady was
Zerolene tank buried deep in the
mud in which the mash was quickly
fermented. Three bottles of the
Howard manufacture which prom

mucca. Tests carried on today by
Sheriff Brady proved the liquor to
have highly inflammable and ex-
plosive qualities. Poured into a
fiat receptacle it showed CONNER
cial qualities when it ignited and
burned that make it fit for cigar
lighters.
The manufacture of moonshine
may be an infant industry here
abouts. Sheriff Brady is doing a
full share in the limitation of the
armament of stills hereabouts and

Of which 1881 900 900 already has been
extended for a long period He urged
that before any further advances were
made the railroads be required TO aban-
don the "inefficiency OF labor ella inns,
