They seized a 175-gallon still and 14 barrels of mash, arrested Wirt Ralph McGinnis as he carried liquor from the hill, and destroyed the still. Roger McGinnis and a juvenile fled but were sought, with another deputy likely to arrest. McGinnis waived a hearing and faces grand jury action in Bluefield.
