thorn in the side of ~bootleggers of
this section during 1899, making a
total of lat arrests. A large per-

convicted.
Seventy-two stills were seized dur
ing the year, having a combined
capacity of $50 gallons of whiskey.
2,147 gallons of non-taxpaid distilled
spirits were seized and destroyed,
and SO, 100 gallons of mash were de-
stroyed, they reported yesterday.
During the year 4S automobiles
were seized and sold. Their COM
bined value was estimated at 49,
COS. In addition to the automobiles,
two mules, one horse, three carts
and one trailer were seized. Their
value was set at $145.
Two motor trucks were taken from
bootleggers and their value was esti-
mated at $3.50. All the automobiles
and trucks seized during the year
were either sold at auction or were
placed into use by various govern
mental agencies.
