IN POISONOUS TIN STILL
Murder haa nothing on the poison
whiskey made by Ah Sing in his Un
still on a Johnson creek ranch, near
Lanta, say» Deputy Sheriff Joseph
Beeman
"That stuff is the closest thing to
murder I ever saw," said Beeman,
pointing to the ten gallons of whis­
key ha and IVputy Sheriff Chnstof
ferson found at Ah Sing's cabin.
In addition to the 60-gallon tin still,
the officers found about 100 pounds
of some mysterious leaf, which the
Chinaman was mixing with corn, bar­
ley. rye and ric«. to make his moon­
shine.
Thia is the first time in the history
of the sheriffs office that a China­
man has been discovered making corn
whiskey. They generally confine their
operations to making saki out of rice.
The deputies found an entire house
used for the distillery. In addition to
the still and raw produets, they found
29 barrels of fermenting mash.
Ah 'Sing wks not at the still house
when the raid was made, but was
superintending his hired help on a 46-
acre tract a short distance away.
After his arrest he watched the depu.
ties break up the 29 barrels. They
did not do the same to the still, but
dismantled it, preparatory to taking
it to the eobrthouse as evidence.
Ah Sing endearare.1 to persuade the
sheriffs to subject the still to the
same fate as the barrels, so all evi­
dence «could be destroyed and so he
would not have to go to jail. But the
officers did not approve of his plan.
When he realized that arrest was
imminent, he is said to have assumed
all responsibility for operating the
still, and pleaded immunity for his
hired help, whom the officers were
about to arrest
The owner is lodged in the county
jail in default of bond.
HERALD JOB DEPARTMENT
IS HANDLING MUCH WORK
If the Herald is not quite up to the
mark this week (although we hope it
is). Blame it on the rush of jobwork.
This has been one of busiest months of
the year for the office, with several
larger than ordinary orders. This
week and most of the next the force,
with extra help, will be busy upon
the minutes of the Presbyterian
Synod, which this office was fortu-
nate in securing the printing of.
This one job is a book of about 100
pages, six by nine inches, and must
be printed, bound and delivered be­
fore the next Herald is published.
This office fortunately is well
equipped for work of that character
but it crowds us considerable to han­
dle it in such a short time and keep
up the current job work and news­
paper up to class.
The Herald is not a member of any
combination of firms endeavoring to
keep printing prices up to war-time
levels and always passes down to its
patrons any savings made because of
the dropping quotations on paper. We
deliver work when promised and give
careful attention to detail. For these
and the further fact that we are al­
ways willing to assist a prospective
customer in getting his “copy” in
shape, our job printing business is
always growing.
