STILLS EXTRA LARGE
Claimed Langlade County
Moonshiners Have Regular
VANISHED Machinery in
Operation.

State prohibition agents made
the biggest haul ever made in the
state in Langlade county with the
taking of $1,000 gallons of liquor
mash and three of the largest
stills ever heard of in the state,
according to information received
at Madison last Thursday by State
Prohibition Commissioner Herman
Sachtjen from his deputies. One
of the stills was of 900 gallon cap
acity. Another of 800 and the
third of 700. The stills were oper-
ated by Kentuckians who moved
into Langlade county recently.
The stills were housed in log huts
hidden in the swamps of Langlade
county The $1,000 gallons of
mash was ready for distillation
and it was destined for the New
Years trade in Northern Wiscon-
sin. Due to the huge size of the
stills, a process Of running live
steam into the watts and causing
distillation that way was used.
Only 100 gallons of moonshine was
found and it is believed that most
of the finished product had been
| sold for the Christmas trade.
The three stills were found in
swamp land near the Florence
county line owned by the Lang
lade Lumber Co. The moonshiners
are squatters on the land. Two
men, Robert Ison and Fred Mo-
ankle are being held.

GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Sanborn
Pass Half Century Mark in
Welded Life on Christmas
Eve.

With half century of welded
life passed, Mr.. and Mrs. G.. G.
Sanborn of Big Bass lake in the
town Of Washington are another
couple who have been blessed with
a happiness allotted to very few
for that number Of years. Of the
couples who have entered the mar
riage state, and pass fifty years
together in one unbroken span,
they can be easily counted. Many
fail in reaching that goal for var
led reasons and those who do are
usually the recipients of pleasant
memories brought forcibly to their
attention.
Mr.. and Mrs. George G. Sanborn,
of Big Bass Lake celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary,
Christmas Eve.
Fifty years ago they were mar
ried in Marilla, New York, on
Christmas Eve. In 1879 they came
to Illinois, and in 1910 to Eagle
River, Wisconsin, their present
home.
Last Monday evening at the
home of their daughter, Mrs. r.
E. Simmons they enjoyed their
Golden Anniversary. Mrs. Sim
mons is their only living child.
Their three other children were
called at different times to their
Home Beyond.
Mr. and Mrs. Sanborn's son-in-
law, R. E. Simmons was unable to
be present he being in Antioch,
Illinois. Also one grandson, Chas.-
Simmons, who is now in LaGrande,
Washington. Their six other
grandchildren and two great
grandchildren were present, be-,
sides some thirty neighbors.
The home was prettily decorate
ed in gold and cedar boughs. A.
short program of home talent wa
given, after which a wedding supn'
per was served. an

Later in the evening, the Christb

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 29.--, (By Associated Press. )z-A score and two of little speedsters almost as tiny as toy automobiles, but capable of marvellous speed, today received the careful caresses of the pilots who will guide them in the twelfth annual 500-a mile sweepstakes at the Indianapolis motor speedway Friday.
 Two additional machines will try at daybreak to meet the speed test of 80 miles an hour for 10 miles that officials have prescribed for all entries in the race. Should they make the required speed 24 cars will line up to get away with the crash of the starting bomb at 10 a. m.
 Dismal weather, with frequent show CTS cast some gloom over the throng of speedway fans gathered from all sections of this country, and a few from foreign lands. The weather bureau. however, said race day in all probabil- ity would dawn clear and crisp.
 The usual speedway crowd is on hand filling the hotels to overflowing, making the traffic problem a bit more acute and giving a tremendous boost to the lunch counter, restaurant and cafe busi- ness.
