Liquor Bibles Scheme Reported in Arbuckle Mountains
A new liquor scam involves hollow bottle tops shaped like bibles containing brown liquid with arsenic and pepper. Miners were investigated as authorities suspect a preacher led the scheme, distributing counterfeit heavy cardboard bottles marked with a royal stamp. Thousands of bottles of suspected whisky were said to be sold in Oklahoma, with plans to swap the real drink for a mock substitute. Los Angeles veterinary officials consider horse drinking cups for drivers to ensure horses drink only from their own buckets.
