Clouds of smoke were rolling up from
one of the cabins In the gully between

of the blazing cabin, they were almost'

which theoretically went out of exis

sourish smell. Evidently something
was rotten in the state of Denmark.
Five barrels of it, in fact—a mixture
of raisins, yeast, hops, sugar, flour,
etc. A gasoline stove, left burning
under a still, had blown off the top
of the fttill and mused the fire. A
large 'keg of (the finished product,
“white-eye," stood near. It was con-.j
flscated, together with a quantity of
the mash, and taken away to the Jail
as evidence. Charley Chong, proprie
tor <nf the Hong Kong Noodle House,
was arrested on suspicion, tin there
was no one in the cabin when the .ire
department arrived. The place was
untenated. Five empty barrels, a
great hole in the roof, and a sbtb^ry

and yeast give evidence of .the excite
