WHEAT QUEEN TRIES LIQUOR

DAVENPORT, Wash., Sept. 16.—Once known as “the wheat queen of the Big Bend,” where she owned more wheat land and harvested more golden grain than any woman in the northwest, Mrs, Josephine Ditmar is now being alluded to as the “moonshine queen of Lincoln county.” The latter title was fixed upon her after Lincoln county officers raided the Ditmar farm, southeast of Davenport, Thursday night, and captured one of the largest stills ever found in the county, as well as five barrels of mash and a quantity of moonshine liquor.
