CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 23.—Mike G. Geary of South Cheyenne, owner of the so-called “Moonshine house,” in which George McGough was shot to death a few weeks ago, is under arrest, charged with owning and con- ducting one of the biggest stills ever unearthed in Wyoming. The still, lo- cated in a cave beneath an outhouse at the Geary residence, was seized by federal prohibition officers and po- licemen in a joint reid late Saturday. Twenty-six barrels of mash and some “raoonshine’’ whisky 9lso were found. The illicit distillery was arranged ingeniously. Entrance to {t was through a tunnel that came to the sur- face some distance away. City water and electricity nad been carried into she cave in conduits. Geary, when arrested, asserted that he bad rentod that portion of bis premises where the cave had beeu dug, and thac he had no knowledge o* its existence, but he was unable to recolect the name ef the person who ke claimed wes xix tenant.

He spoke of ro- lgion as “economical productivity,” which would help toward the attain- ing of all ends of progress.
