I FOUND A STILL IN THE OZARKS Three Alleged Moonshin ers Tak- en to West Plains, Mo. West Plains, Mo., Dee. 18.— Officers in Ozark County found a moonshine still on Lick Creek, and captured the outfit Saturday. Lige Friend, Harvey Forrest and Mack Forrest were arrested charged with operating the still. Deputy United States Marshal William Brown of Springfield is now in Ozark County investigat- ing the matter. . The still was hauled to Gaines- ville and lucked‘ in the Ozark County jail. It is made of a 10- gallon cream can with a rough hlock from a cedar tree inserted in the*top of the can. A half inch hole was bored almost to the top of the block and another hole bored in the side of the block. Tn this hole was inserted an old rifle barrel that connected the im- provised, still to the worm. This was a half inch gas pipe coiled up in a 15-gallon wooden keg. All that was necessary to do busi- ness with the outfit was to fill the cream can with fermented mash made from corn meal, -fill the keg with water, build a fire under the crea mean and the dis- tillery was in full blast. The ca- pacity was one gallon of “mountain dew”? at a run. A run had just been made when the officers captured the outfit with the liquor. This is the first illicit still captured inthe Ozarks. in many years. For Floor Leader. A. T.
