Show STILL DISCOVERED IN MOUNTAINS BY SHERIFF AND DEPUTY Hidden away in a small canyon in the mountains north of Minersville, a crudely constructed still was uncovered uncover-ed Friday by Sheriff Neils Jensen and deputy, Ted Kronholm. The stilll consisted of what is supposed sup-posed to have been an old copper lining lin-ing to a hot-water heater on a stove. A top had been soldered on the tank with a huge copper tubing attached. A gasoline stove had evidently been used to operate the still, but had been removed before the arrival of the officers. There was no evidence of mash'; around, as probably the mash had been made elsewhere and brought to the hills for stilling. The capacity of the outfit was about ten gallons, and showed evidence of recent use. No trace of the owner or owners was found, but if they want theirl property back, they should make application ap-plication to Deputy Sheriff Kronholm, who has placed the outfit in safe keeping. |
