Sheriff Pointer, Deputy Lucas and Chief of Police Newman located a large quantity of stuff that apparently was intended for use in the manufacture of "white mule" Wednesday night on the Steiger farm in Green township. The owners had apparently hidden the stuff and made their escape. The mash was destroyed and the stoves brought into the jail.
