| PRIMITIVE MOONSHINE STILL |
MOONSHINE RAIDERS TAKE CRUDE STILL
(5 Dec. 1906)
Two men Arrested At The Time Of The Capture Are Later Released
Abingdon,Va. Dec.5 - Deputy Marshall Puckett, assisted by F.D. Ranes, made a raid on moonshiners
last night and captured something fearful to behold. The cap of the still was made from the lower half of a churn. The arm
of the cap is an oil can, the kind used on locomotives. The worm is of tin and the still is composed of two zinc tubs. This
affair was captured two and a half miles from Osceola, on the land of Joel Widner. It was not in operation at the time, but
there was plenty of evidence that the overjoyful had been made there. Joel Widner and George Roberts were arrested and were
given a hearing before Commissioner J.J. Stuart this evening, who discharged them, the evidence not being sufficient to bind
them over.
