STONE BARRICADE AND
EVIDENCE OF UQUOR
FOUND IN STILL HUNT
Officers Search Hill for
Moonshiners Believed
in Operation.
An illicit moonshining still with signs
of recent activity and a stone barri-
cade were chief evidences found by
probibition officers who explored the
hills several miles west of Kelly Field
on the supjiosed trail of liquor makers
Tuesday afternoon. Prohibition Agents
McKay McFarland and Sterens made
tbe trip.
A fire extinguisher converted into a
still was later located at Kelly Field
being held there by military authorities
wbo seized it Monday. It had a ca-
pacity of ten gallons was eight feet
of copper wire and was said to have
previously been part of a Liberty motor
in an airplane.
The agents interviewed a wood cut-
ter who said he had been fired on sev-
eral times before by several men who
were hiding behind the stone barricade.
The barricade is about four feet high
and two or three feet thick and com-
pletely closes a small ravine formed
with two almost vertical sides. In the
upper end of the ravine is a large fis-
sure in tbe rock formation partly cov-
ered with brush. Inside were found
signs of the recent location of a still.
Captains Stevens said. There were
signs of refuse thrown from the still
on the ground.
Tbe ravine protected from behind
with a hill and high banks on either
side and the stone barricade in front
formed an ideal retreat. Captain
Stevens said. Fires used for boiling
contents of the still at niaht. could not

fissure in tbe rock. It is thought that
the moonshiners who operated the still
bad worked at night only.
> Tbe wood chopper wbo gave a state-
ment to Captain Stevens. said he was
hunting with bounds several nights ago
accompanied by several friends. As
they passed the barricale that could be
seen from a long distance down tbe ra-
vine. several shots were tired at them.
They did not stop to investigate but
returned the following day. and made
a cautious investigation not daring to
go further than the barricade itself. -
Tbe wood chopper made a report to
Kelly Field military police who raided |
the place and discovered the still and .
copper coll.
Prohibition agents are still seeking
clues that might lead to the arres't of 1
any one connected with the operation
of the place. The still and copper coil
will be turned over to prohibition
agents.
