and son will again be reunited.

has seen him in every town in Alaska.
For the past nine years he has claimed

tend to return to Cordova.

BIG STILL HERE
UNEARTHED BY
Practically all our best people pulled
their napkins out from under their
chins and rushed out of doors about
6 o’clock last night in answer to the
shriek of the fire siren. Clouds of
smoke were rolling up from one of
the cabins in the gulley between First
and Second streets. Lo! as our gal
lant fire fighters burst in the doors
of the blazing cabin, they were almost
floored by the emphasis of a smell
which theoretically went out of exist
ence with the passage of the eigh
teenth amendment—a yeasty, hoochy,
sourish smell. Evidently something
was rotten in the state of Denmark.
Five barrels of it, in fact—a mixture
of raisins, yeast, hops, sugar, flour,
etc. A gasoline stove, left burning
under a still, had blow off the top
of the still and caused the fire. A
large keg of the finished product,
“white-eye,” stood near. It” was con
fiscated, together with a quantity of
the mash, and taken away to the jail
as evidence. Charley Chong, proprie
tor of the Hong Kong Noodle House,
was arrested on suspicion, though
there was no one in the cabin when
the fire department arrived. The
place was untenanted. Five empty
barrels, a great hole in the roof, and
a slithery mess of bushels of ferment
ing raisins and yeast give evidence
today of last evening’s excitement.
