Park Animals Go On
Four-Day Binge On
Moonshiners’ Mash
DETROIT, UP)—Members of the
Belle Isles usually peaceful ani
mal herd Wednesday gradually
shook off the effects of a four
day binge incurred by Jhe dump
ing of 300 pounds of whisky mash
into a lake on the playground is
land.
John Jettke of the park’s play
ground and recreation dept, said
deer, squirrels and birds were
starting to come back to the lake.
The animals left the lake area
in somewhat woozy condition.
Jettke said the squirrels were
the first to discover the mash
dumped by some unknown moon
shiners. The furry animals lapped
up the spiked lake water out of
the lake edge.
Every now and then some black
birds would dive toward the lake,
drive off the squirrels and get a
quick drink and then flap clum
sily away, Jettke said.
“Why, the stuff was so pptent,”
he said, “two bucks of the island
deer herd were fighting over it.”
Police still were wondering
why the unknown bootlegger
picked a city’s playground island
to abandon the mash.
