GIVES UP HIS STILL
Garland County 'Shiner "DOne Now
 and Forever" He Tells Officer.

Hot Springs Nov. 1S.-"I'm sick and tired of the whole business and I am done now and forever" is what Fed eral Enforcement Officer H. Setterfeld said that Ed Aiken told him here this morning when Aiken volunteered to take Setterfield and o. B. Knapp te 1 his still in the mountains.
 The still was a large one, of copper, of 100-gallon capacity and evidently hhad been in use for several years. There were 37 barrels of mash about ready for runs, and there were 400 pounds of sugar in storage there, and 200 pounds of bran. The outfit was Large and complete, and the enforce ment men said one of the best equip. ped they had located recently.
 Three more stills were captured in this county today, and almost 100 ar rests made of suspects in the matte. of bootlegging in and about the city. The warrants were crowded into the hands of Sheriff Downen all day. The wholesale arrests was said to be an echo of the Marble township tragedy, in which Ku Klux Klansman was killed when Q dozen went there to back up an address against liquor which was delivered by the Rev. J. t COOmbs of this city
