Huge Distillery
Uncovered Near
Louisville
Federal Officers Led by General
Eowan Said Place Local Of
ficers Working on Case
Fron Wednesday's Daily '
Another large distillery Which
has been used in supplying Omaha
illicit bcoze dealers with their sup
ply, was revealed yesterday in the
vicinity of Louisville when1 federal
officers headed by General William
Rowan, prohibition director for Ne
braska and Deputy State Sheriff Han
son, attached . to the Omaha area,
raided the place.
The distillery was located eight
and a half miles southwest of Louis
ville and was in a wild and uncul
tivatedsection of land where th
plant was supplied by spring water
from a email creek that ran near the
old cattle barn where the plant was
located. ;
The. locality of the still has been
watched by Sheriff Reed and Deputy
Sheriff Young and who had traced
the parties that had been suspected
of being parties that carried the
stock to Omaha where it was dispos
ed of two men and one woman were
under suspicion in connection with
the case, altho at the time the raid
was made, no one was found at the
place. "Local officers had hoped to
be able to apprehend the parties
operating the still but were disap
pointed in the fact that no one was
present when the raid took pla.ee.
It is thought that the operators of
the stills had lookouts that gave
them the tip and allowed the per
sons to make their escape.
Two stills, one of two hundred
gallon and one of three hundred gal
lon, were discovered concealed in the
old abandoned cattle shed on the
unused farm.
Besides the stills, the officers found
105 gallons of whiskey, 10.900 gal
lons of mash, 600 pounds of sugar
and two coke furnaces.

The time was spent in games and
contests of various kinds and at
which a great deal of merriment was
derived by all of th jolly party of
young people and in. the peanut hunt
Madge .Garnett proved the most suc
cessful while in. the guessing con

est. In the feather contest Vera

Would Mark
City for Airmen
on Their Flights
Roof of One of the Larger Buildings
May Be Selected If Plan De
velops as Hoped For . - -
It has been urged for. some time
that this city have some distinguish
ing mark that can be, seen by ai
mail pilots and other navigators of
the air, passing through this locality
and the general plan that has been
suggested is that of having the name
of the city painted on the roof of one
of the buildings in the business sec
tion. .
This sign will require the outlay
of some $110 as the price that has
been made to James W. Holmes, who
as postmaster, has been much inter
ested in the proposition owing to the
wishes of the postal department for
markings for towns. The city gov
ernment does not feel justified in
making Jhis expenditure and the
Chamber of Commerce has prepared
a pain that may solve the matter of
cost and allow the name of "Platts
mouth" to be emblazoned on the roof
of one of the ltocal buildings so that
he who flies may see. It has been
suggested by the Chamber of Com
merce officers that different societies
over the city pay the cost of a single
letter which would be $10 and in
this way the cost could be made
very reasonable for all and still give
the desired result of giving the city
recognition in the way of air mark
ings. A number of places have been sug
gested as proper for. the placing of
the sign, but chief among these has
been that of the Masonic temple, the
Legion community building and the
Bekins building and any of these
would make a good spot with the
Masonic temple probably the best
suited for the purpose.
While the idea of the subscription
plan is a new one, the Plattsmouth
Women's club has already signified
their desire to help in the cause and
now if there are ten other organiza
tions similarlyminded the sign is a
sure go. .V . -
