I'm MARTIN, former deputy sheriff
Of Winkelman. but moro recently
y homesteader on the banks of the
River San Pedro, grew tired Of the
drab days which stretched before him
and sought to add a 'kick" not only
to his own life but to that Of all who
came In contact with him.
Last Wednesday Sheriff EMS Thur
man and his deputy, Braz Wootan
made visit to Martins ranch near
the town of Mammoth and discovered
the source of the ''kick"-a 65 gallon
capacity still, all copper. and coyly
tucked away in a dug-out on the
river bank with a gasoline engine in
operation to pump the water neces-
sary. Also there were 35 gallons OF
newly made whiskey and 10 barrels of
mash in the making. Martin had
been industriously supplying not only
Winkelman but Tucson, as well, with
an imitation Of the drink which Mr..
Volstead made unlawful. according to
the officers.
In the general roundup following,
Francisco Valenzuela who was one
of Martins minor competitors, was
taken in charge by the sheriff. Poor
Francisco had only five gallon still
though huge supply of mash testi-
fled to his Willingness to get into
Martins class.
The foregoing account, which car
ries with it the intimation that quite
a drought will be apparent in Pinal
county for sometime to come was
contained in a special message sent
by Sheriff Thurman to The Republ-
can last night.
CIx stills, 1850 gallons Of mash and
- 10 gallons of the finished corn
liuuor were seized when deputy sher-
ifs raided the Mexican quarter of
Chandler yesterday afternoon. Oper-
ators Of the still fled when officers
approached and made good their es-
cape.
That much Of the liquor supply in
Mesa and Chandler has been fur
nished by operators of these stills is
the belief Of Deputy Sheriff Pickens
of Mesa who, assisted by Deputy
Sheriffs Gilbert Blanco and Al De-
Witt from the Phoenix office, con-
Quoted the raid. Officers believe they
know tho men.
THE six stills were found within
radius Of a city block, deputy sheriffs
said last night. Some OF them were
in operation when they arrived, they
added.
The stills. mash and liquor was
brought to Phoenix and placed in the
liquor storeroom" at the county
jail.
