OFFICERS CONFISCATE FIFTY CALLON OF LOCANBERRY JUICE AT SUTHERLIN RANCH HOME John Musgrove Well Known Farmer Charged With Manufacture and Sale of Intoxicating Liquor Confesses to Crime Local Officers State Fifty gallons of loganberry Juice, with a kick strong enough to knock the teeth out of a buss saw, were confiscated this morning by Sheriff sam starnier and deputies Hopkins and Dlllard, In a raid on the home of John Musgrove, a rancher resid ing about 2 miles west of Sutherlln. iu una tni'iura mt uiucera ueiiuve they have located one of the most prolific sourcos of Intoxicants ln the Sutherlln valley and have discovered one of the places that has been giv ing them the most trouble during the past few months. According to statements made by Sheriff Starmer, Musgrove has been ln the business of retailing liquor for Borne time. It is claimed that he has been peddling out the booze, while his house has been a regular oasis for thristy ones of the Suth erlln community. ' On Saturday higUt tha officers attended the dance at Sutherlln and at that time they found evidence causing them to form the opinion that the Musgrove boy was selling drinks to the dancers.

The large barrel was almost full and the small barrel was only partially emptied. Another barrel was found and from the odor emanating therefrom It was quite evident that it had at one time been used as a container foe liquor.
