Instead Of 800 gallons Of mash,
as was reported Saturday, federal
authorities confiscated 22,50O gal
Ions late Saturday. The mash was
contained in 10 wooden watts six feet
in diameter and eight feet deep.
The still itself is estimated to be
worth $4,000. The alcohol and
mash at retail price would be worth
$S1, ,050. The 17;200 pounds Of corn
sugar il valued by Bismarck whole
salers at close to $1,000, and the IL
barrels Of molasses at $3.50. This
property totals $48,000 in value, ex-

Federal court will probably con-
vene here in November or December,
and the men will be brought before
the court then, federal men believe.
Farm Was Ordinary
The farm was an ordinary looking
farm, according to the federal men,
with nothing suspicious about it.
Chickens were running about the
farm, cattle were grazing in the
fields, and the windmill was pump
ing water.
Further search Of the farm Satur-
day afternoon uncovered about so
empty wooden barrels, While the
men were being 1rraigned in court,
the federal agents were busy confis-
eating the still.
Five truckloads Of the parapher-
MALTA were brought to Bismarck
Saturday by the federal agents. one
truckload was brought in Saturday
night, and three truckloada were be-
ing hauled today
The dismantled still is now stored
in Bismarck. Containers, coils, boil
ers, and barrels were included. The
wooden watts were torn apart and
brought in also.
Power-steam and electric-was
used in such . manner that the still
practically operated itself.
The four arrested men continue
their silence. refusing to answer any
questions.
