1928 "William Ottele of near Yuma, arrested last week
by Sheriff Yates after a fifty gallon still
had been found on his place was released on bond after his
hearing held here. His case is set for trial at the spring
term of the district court.
The account of the finding of the still is taken from
the Yuma Pioneer of last week. 'Undersheriff John Myers
and Deputy Chas. Scott captured a 50 gallon still and a
number of barrels of mash at the Ottele farm 18 miles
north of Yuma, Friday night and took Bill Ottele into
custody. At a preliminary hearing, it is said that
Ottele admitted possession of the still and mash.
He was bound over to the district court.
Conviction of owning a still carries a sentence of
from two to five years in the state penitentiary.
Officers making the raid say the captured still
was located underground near a hog house.
The only entrance to the dugout was from the building
and this had been carefully covered with straw to
avoid detection. None of the men were around when
the raid was made, the arrest coming later.
Deputy Sheriff Scott had had suspicions that a still
was being operated in that locality for some time,
and altho he would not say as much, it was evident
that he was tipped off last week as to the exact
location.
He immediately called up the undersheriff and
the raid followed.'"
