Moonshiners Elude Raid Amid Mountain Alarms In West Virginia
Federal Prohibition Chief Frank Adkins reports a raid in Lincoln county netted a 50 gallon still and 550 gallons of mash. Alerted by bells atop perilous peaks, workers fled into the mountains, leaving investigators to pursue elusive moonshiners. An old woman claimed the dinner bell rang to summon hands.
