Snow Plentiful This Year

Not for a good many years, accord
ing to Old-timers, has the ground in
Bozeman and vicinity been covered
with such a heavy volume of snow as
the landscape this year. Snowy
precipitations have followed each
other since the first of the year in
such rapid succession and without the
customary thaws or chinOOks in be-
tween that a total height of between
three and four feet on the level is
reported at various points throughout
the county. Where the snOw has been
shovelled from the sidewalks in this
city the banks on either side have
reached a total average height of be-
tween four and five feet; and the end
is not yet, according to the weather
mar who predicts that the coming
spring is more apt to see high water
and some road flooding rather than a
drought in the Gallatin valley.

SHERIFF'S FORCE
GET Three Stills

A moonshine raid was conducted
last Thursday by U~ndersheriff Or
vile Jones and Deputy Sheriff E.
NJ. Howell, which resulted in the dis
cOvery of the principal parts of three
illicit copper stills, including coils,
coolers and boilers, but minus con-
densing necks and other parts of the
apparatus. Not one Of the stills was
complete.
The raid was made on an old des-
erted shack on Section %, north of
Logan and situated in an almost in
accessible spot along the river bank.
No one was in the building or any
where on the premises, the presump-
ton being that the place was used
mainly for a mOonshiner's cache, and
an occasional "run" of hard liquor.
A few sacks of bran and rye, used
by the distillers for making the mash
from which the m%OOnshine is dis
titled, were found by the officers and
brought to the jail, together with sew
eral large stone crooks, small barrels
and about a pint of first run moon
that smelled strongly of fusel oil
Several large barrels were destroyed
by the officers, with axes, before they
left the place.
Fully $50 empty bottles of all sizes
shapes and c%olors, were found on the
place, and many of them were als'
destroyed by the officers.
Sheriff Jim Smith has had the plac,
under surveillance for some time, ant
the raid last week was planned by hin
in the hope that the operator of tn.
stills would be found at work and hi
arrest effected.
