REAL WHIZ THIS BOOZE
OUTFIT GUZMAN OWNED

One of the most complete hooch
outfits captured in long time was
gathered in Monday morning by City
Marshal j. r. Cooper and Night
Marshal Claude Tackitt, and the own
er, Joe Gusman, was taken to city
jail along with his two sons, Maru
and Frank Gusman.
Tackitt had for several nights been
keeping a close watch on the Gusman
home at 113 O'Leary street, on the
south side. His olfactories sensed q
booze factory. Deciding Monday
morning that where there was so
much smoke going up the chimney
there must be some booze going
through the coil, the officers made a
formal call at eight o'clock.
They found real outfit. One Of
the rooms Of the house was given
over to it, On concrete floor brick
furnace had been built and sur
mounting the latter was rectangu-
lar 5O-gallon copper still, with a
lead coil running through tub of
water beneath a faucet and into a
keg. The still had been running all
night. Gusman, the father, said, and

appeared.
The coil was attached to a litmus
paper filter through which the stuff
passed into the keg. Besides about
so gallons of twice run stuff, which
tested 13O, and an equal amount Of
first run stuff, there were 600 gallons
of mash, some rye, some corn. It
was very nice mash, in fact, a rega-
lar syrup, as Gusman said he used a
hundred pounds Of sugar to eacn
barrel of mash. Included in the out
fit was tester to advise the distll-
lers Of the strength of their product
and d nifty rubber siphon, with bulb
The still evidently had been in use a
long while, because it shows age in
many scars and much discoloration
Gusillan claimed that running thc
liquor through a lead coil didn't hurt
it any.
City police magistrate on Monday
afternoon fined the elder Gusnlar
$500, which he paid, and released tbs

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS WON
GIRLS LOST AT WINSLOW

Flagstaff high school Basketball
teams split the double-header at Wins
low last Saturday night, the girls los
ing 31-27 and the boys winning 25-14.
Both games were fast and well
played.
The Flagstaff girls got away to a
good lead in the first quarter and it
looked like they would run up large
score, but Winslow began dropping
the ball through the basket and the
first half ended with Flagstaff ahead
1874. Soon after the second half
started Winslow tied the score and
from then on it was anybody's game.
The Flagstaff forwards were off on
their shooting and missed many easy
ones. v. Phillips of Winslow was the
star of the game with "a points to her
credit Mildred and Millicent Meyer,
Flagstaff forwards, made Ia and Ii
points respectively.
Lineup: Flagstaff - Mildred and
Millicent Moyer, forwards; June and
Grace Cooper, centers; Josephine Will
son and Minnie Hilkins, guards. Wins
low. Phillips and B. Phillips, for
wards; NJ Vandebur and v. Ward
centers; A. Rhodes, M. Hosher and
Hancock, guards.
Flagstaff had the better of the ar
gument in the boys game and the
final outcome was hardly ever IN
doubt. Winslow made mistake il
defensive play at the beginning Of the
game which was probably the cause
of defeat. They put two men. OF
"Babe" Cameron, Flagstaff's high
point getter. While this was going
on, Bob Prochnow, center, was left
uncovered and he dropped a couple
of baskets and free throw for five
points in the first few minutes. Il
the meantime, Cameron was playing
a fine defensive game and along witt
Beard and Shcehan smothered tht
Winslow forwards. Brinton, who wa:
replaced by Francis in the SECOND
period, came back in the fourth quar-
ter and played q good offensive a;
well as defensive game. Scott, cen
ter, and Galagas, guards, were tn
main-stays of the Winslow team.
Flagstaff's passing was good AM
| this along with some good head wor'
was responsible for the margin o
| eleven points. Winslow resorted t,
long shots and rarely tried to worl
| the ball in under the basket.
Tonight the high school tapgle
with the freshmen on the coileg
court and next Friday takes on tn
fast Clarkdale high team at the hig
school gymnasium. This should be
closely contested affair and one we
worth watching.

Plans are fast nearing completion
covering the spring campaign for
funds for the financing of the Ma

Children which is to be built in the
close vicinity of Flagstaff. Several
letters have been received from the
