Thompson and Men Take Beer and Still
   One hundred gallons of beer and a complete distilling outfit were
confiscated by Constable J.A. Thompson and his deputies Saturday night.  The
still and outfit were found above the Low Ash Mines.
   This is another of the series of successful raids that the constable and
his men have made for liquor during the past week.  On practically every
trip they have made recently they have captured a still and beer or mash.
   No arrests were made Saturday.  There being no one near the still when it
was located, there was not enough evidence to make an arrest.
