Batch
of Bootleggers
Fined
The recent foggy weather was un-
propicious for moonlight on the Wil­
son. and the best the Sheriff and a
deputy could do was to make it moon­
shine on the Wilson. Monday night
about 14 miles up that fine fishing
stream, arrived at the home of Mrs.
Hill, and in a near by secluded glen,
they found an illict liquor still that
was still warm; also mash and liquor,
the later being ready to assuage the
craving of the fellow who owes his
stomach a grudge. Arnold Kinney
and Glenn Breneman, were arrested
as being the main posh, but it is pos­
sible that two women who are living
at the Hill home may be implicated
in the matter also.
At the Holstein picnic at Clover­
dale last week, there was displayed a
paper mache picture of a model Hol­
stein cow on the grounds. A little
child of Dolph Tinnerstet, thinking
the cow a real one, walked up to the
pseudo dairy animal and attempted
to milk her, and thus furnished the
crowd with a good hearty laugh. The
constructors of the cow should take
that as a real compliment to their
splendid work. This episode reminds
of the painter who painted grapes
so naturally that the birds came to
eat them.

The moonshine business originated
down in Kentucky, and since has
spread over a large territory, em-
bracing almonst, if not every state
in the union. Take the profit out of
it and nobody would care to make it.
But the profit lures, and men take
chances, and get in jail and have their
autos confiscated and pay stiff fines,
ijtili others i.r£ it, and all eventually
wind up in jail. Away up in a canyon
on Three Rivers, less than half a
mile from the mail highway, is the
home of Jos. Autermaier, a well-to-do
rancher, whose two sons bought a
35 gallon copper still, and went into
the moonshine game, with a zeal
worthy of a beter cause. Forty two
gallons of liquor and 350 gallons of
mash reposed in the still house Sun­
day morning last, when the boys came
out prepared to run off another batch
of the stuff that kicks like a sawed
off shot-gun loaded with lead sinkers.
Just as the boys were singing an old
country folk song, and shooting a
few yodels into the canyon sides, se­
cure in their belief that Justice was
taking a nap down at the county
seat, 28 miles away, Sheriff John
Aschim and J. C. Holden, appeared
and arrested the sons. And the yod­
el subsided into a long drawn gasp
of surprise. Alas, the still would no
longer chortle; the mashy smell
would n time evaporate, and 42 gall­
ons of moonshine would go down the
sewer at Tillamook.
Saturday night, Leslie Lucas drove
Aschim and J. C. Holden up to the
vicinity, and they hunted for the still
that they believed still stood some­
where. They found it, and stayed in
the brush all night. When the boys
came out, they nabbed them. The
elder Auftemair put up $750 in cash
for the appearance of the boys before
the grand jury which re-convened,

BRUSH FIRE SPREADS
FROM SLASHING
A brush fire got away at the Hen­
ry Simmons place one day last week,
and spread to other property at a
point about 6 miles south of town,
and is now clese to the York mill, but
Simmons and a force of men are hard
at work trying to put it out, under
direction of Fire warden McCowell.
Should the fire get to the York saw­
mill, it is figured considerable loss
would result, but the latest reports
indicate that it will be stamped out
before it gets much bigger. The Fire
warden has .revoked all permits for
brush burning, as it is extremely
hazardous at this time for fires of
any sort in the woods or on ranches.

SIX CONVICTS SENT
TO PENITENTIARY
Last Monday in circuit court,
Judge Bagley passed sentence upon
four burglars and two forgers. The
buglars were Clifford Bouch, Fred Du
Puis, Lee Osborne and Harry Berg,
each of whom got three years in the
penitentiary, except in the case of
Osborne v'ho will have eighteen
months to serve. R. E. Thomas, in­
dicted for forgery committed in this
county last July drew 10 years on
his ticket, as he was a parole violator,
to boot, having been sent up from this
county on a similar charge several
years ago. He was later paroled
and violated it, hence was given a
longer term by Judge Bagley. Ray
Grayson, indicted for forgery com­
mitted in this county, also drew three
years in the state penal institution.
Deputies will take the batch over
to the pen this week.
