MOON IS FOUND
ON PARIS FARM
Sheriff Rauen Finds Big
Double Still Too on Farm
of Nick New
COPS GET KRAUSOWSKI

Paris, France, is the place the styles
come from, but Paris, Kenosha county,
is the place the moonshine comes
from, according to the last haul made
by Sheriff Rauen which was on Fri
day evening about half-past ten
o'clock. And this morning in the cor
ridor leading off from the sheriff's Of
fee, he could prove that statement to
you, by exhibiting the big outfit which
he brought back with him after a
visit westward in the county.
The raid was made at the John
Terry farm, in the township of Paris,
now tenanted by Nick New. Sheriff
Raaen, Under-sherif Knipfer and
Deputies Steven Robinson, Chef Bos-
letter and Albert ("Red") Bonn
made the raid.
Get An Automobile Load Full.
Mrs. New was at home at the time
the sheriff and his men arrived, and
as the countryside has not been saw
ing daylight, the hour was earlier on
the farm than by the Kenosha clocks.
She recovered her self-possession at
the sight of the raiding sheriff force,
and before the men went away be-
came so friendly as to offer them a
dish of apples.
Two big copper wash-boiler stills
looking as if they were used to-
gether in the distilling, were found
as we'll as other equipment in the
shape of set of coils and stove, and
these were all brought into Kenosha.
Besides this, the men found 800 gall
Ions of mash ready for use and fifteen
gallons of moopshine
Moon In a Milk Can.
The only pretty touch of rural life
in the affair was the milk can, which
was used to contain the moonshine.
Some of the liquid was found also in
a wooden key.
The tip of where the moonshine was
to be found came in an anonymous
letter to federal officials which was
turned over to the sheriff, who accord
ingly armed himself with a search
warrant and took his men to the farm.
New will be brought into the NUM-
cipal court today and charged with
q unlawful possession of still and
moonshine.
Meanwhile the police officers were
not idle eitheI& Friday night. The
sponge squad under the leadership of
Assistant Chief Cyzak visited the
premises of John Krausowski, 920 Park
street. which operates under Glass A
permit and found the moonshine.
The moon was concealed under the
cellar steps, so that all the proprietor
had to do was to lift the board of a
tread and open it and there was a
nifty little cupboard inside. 'Krausow-
ski, the police declared this morning
has been source of endless trouble
and innumerable complaints have been
received against him. He has been
arrested before for destroying the
evidence when raided by police of
ficers and also for selling across the
bar, but this is the first time the
officers succeeded in beating him to
it, and actually capturing the moon
shine itself
Krausowski also will be arraigned
this morning,
New Fined $500.
New was given stiff fine in the
municipal court his morning when he
was. sentenced by Judge Slater to pay
fine of $40o and costs with the al
tentative of four months in Jail. New
indicated that he would pay the fine
Meanwhile the sheriffs men had an
interesting experiment with the moon
shine found at tn Nv farm. Al
the suggestion of Ben Fay, a fresh
egg was dropped into bowl of the
moonshine, The egg Immediately com
menced to fry"
"In an hour Shat will be hard
boiled egg,3 asserted Fay. "That's
why I am against moonshine and
hard drink and advocate a policy Of
