Sheriff Chas. Stepp, Deputies Ed

yesterday afternoon from booze
raid they conducted at a point be-

Big Rock, located on a farm. They
destroyed 100 gallons of mash and
demolished the specially arranged
hiding place for the illicit product.
The destruction of the mash and
place of concealment took place yes

arrests were made.
The sheriff, after having been
tipped OFF, that a booze factory
was in operation i'll that section,
went to the scene Sunday evening
late, arriving at the point Of watch

2 o'clock yesterGa, afternoon, hop

ator however, failed to put in his
appearance and the mash, ready for
the run" was then destroyed.
The mash was contained i'll two
barrels, deposited i'll a cache five
feet deep and carefully covered with
leaves. The substance, apparently
had been prepared in anticipation
of making a run" by Sunday or the
first of the week, but the operator
perhaps had been apprised of the
vigilance established by the officers
and steered clear of the situation.
The officers instituted a search
for the still outfit but were unable
to locate the apparatus. The mash
was the only product found. How
ever, the sheriff said he felt GER
tain of the identity of the guilty
and that unless some very straight
going was put into effect by the
individual he soon would have hin
