Copper Still Found in Wabash Bottoms Mystery Farm Camp
James Johns of Farmersburg and William Johns of Shelburn were jailed in Sullivan after sheriff deputies discovered a copper mash still with a 25 to 30 gallon capacity on Lucy Scott place in Fairbanks Township. The operation included a copper coil, a four burner stove, and nearby corn juice barrels. The two men were camping near the Wabash river and were later taken to jail while the gear was impounded. Local residents had suspected illicit liquor production due to their camp setup and lack of fishing gear.
