Tender Flees,
Leaving Coat,
Hat and Still
___________
Without stopping for his coat or hat the tender of two 250-gallon stills at 408 Turner street yesterday dashed up a ladder through a skylight and escaped invading Federal prohibition agents as they burst open the door and found 100 gallons of moonshine and 250 barrels of mash.
Operatives were led by John H. Wynkoop, chief field agent.
At 3756 Cimarron street later in the day agents were more successful when they arrested R. L. Baker and seized his sedan that was loaded with seven cases of Scotch whisky, according to Wynkoop's report.
