Al Capone was a Chicago thug during Prohibition, but who brewed the "Firewater" for Vegas!

As a kid growing up in Nephi, Utah, it is an Alma Jones family tradition to go deer hunting. As a small buck, I was too young to hunt, so we just hiked with Daddy Jones and carried his 1894 Winchester 25-35 "Nortonville Neutralizer" rifle. While trekking in an area of Juab County, I had a "feed the horses" gut pain, so strayed off to find an area behind a Cedar tree. Low and behold, I discovered a hidden cave as big as a living room, filled with gallon jug containers; stove; cot and other items, as if somebody camped there years prior. Upon finding my Dad, he knew exactly what it was and explained whose "Still" it was. It was operated by a local guy making illegal alcohol for booze runners to Nevada cities, and from 1920 to 1933, it was close enough where the "Spirit" maker could see if Elliot Ness was a comin. When "Cactus Juice" became legal again, the "Hooch" maker returned to farming, but the Cave contents remain. No, Alma wasn't Al Capone's "Yeast Meister" or "Hitman', but able to find similar photos of both from the same era of a 100 years ago. The rest of the story is that Alma Jones was a honorable man who didn't imbibe, but wasn't going to snitch on a local farmer either. Since today makes the 117th earth birthday of a great family man; hard worker with a lot of "Tolley" wit, it seemed a fun way to honor him. Happy Birthday Alma Coyn Jones and maybe, just maybe- I will "drink to that"!
