Mountain Dew and 30
Moonshiners Captured
Craftoll, W. Va„ AUK. B.—Walter
Bee, Deputy Prohibition Commis
sioner, has just completed a round
up of moonshiners with their stills
and mash in the southern part of '
the State. Mr. Bee says the Prohi- j
hition Department captured sixteen
stills in the southern mountains j
during the month of July. One of j
these in Greenbrier county, near j
White Sulphur SprinKs, had 8,000
gallons of the stuff aging when the
haul was made. j
Thirty men were captured in the .
course of the raids and many thou- 1
sands of real "mountain dew" were ,
poured down the hillsides in Mercer,
Lincoln, Summers. Logan, Kana
wha, Greenbrier and other counties.
Twenty or more men engaged in the .
business got away.
Mr. Bee says the moonshiners j
have manufactured a new and im
proved vat for the liquor. These, i
he said were some five feet in dia
meter and eight feet high.
