Mountain Stilis DESTROYED

One still, IA barrels full u
fpartly full Of fermenting mash and
eight gallons Of liquor was the toll Of
last Fridays extensive raid conducted
by Deputy Sheriff Charles Newland
and four state revenue men in the
mountainous section near Conicville,
Shenandoah County.
The raid, which was the most ex-
tensive in these parts for some time,
was planned after detailed information
regarding the stills had been collected
the past two months. No arrests were
made which lead the officials to be-
lieve that the still operators were either
tipped off or else they had perfect
lookout system which gave them ample
time to escape. Only one man was
seen and he was carrying an empty
barrel down a mountain path, but de-
MED knowledge of any stills.
The still, pure copper affair was
brought to Woodstock. This still was in
the form of hollow cube, holding AZ
gallons. 1t is rather unusual to find
anything square" about a moonshine
still.
One still, and locations were raided
in other words, the captured still and
one other that had disappeared were
movies" and as there seemed danger
of being detected, they were moved
from place to place by the operators.
The large quantity of mash however,
and some 'moonshine machinery"
were found at each place, and de-
stroyed by the officers, along with
eight gallons of liquor.
1t is reported that the operators of
these stills have left for another state. |
Indications are that the raid is the
start of an intensive campaign to rid |
the mountainous sections of the Shen-
andoah Valley of moonshiners. The
of the enforcement squad |
were carefully guarded and it is sup
posed that the valley campaign has
been completely mapped out.

And by the silent metal should be sung.
Out of the brass and stone his praise is wrung.
His words were few because his thoughts great.
His deed blew its trumpet, and his state
Went not before but followed like a fate
On this plain man two gifts the gods bestowed:
He weighed the pack before he took the load;
And where he marched it one-way road.
When guns grow the strife of tongues may cease
And the same hand that bound should bring release
Hark! tits soldier says, Let us have peace.
