SERVICE Scouts to hold paper drive Saturday At least one bootlegger in Tehama county now freely admits the local of- ficers have beat him at his own game. He is Earl Brown, one of the propri- etors of the Rio Rena Ho- tel at Tehama. The officers are Undersheriff James N. Froome and Deputy Sher- iff William Dowling. And thereby hangs the tale. Brown devised a scheme to prevent the authorities from obtaining any evi- dence against him. Right under the bar where he dispensed jackass brandy and other favorite bever- ages of the moonshiner's art, Brown arranged an open space, two by two feet in dimension, leading to a hole in the ground, with rocks at the bottom. Scheme was working well Any time Brown ob- served an officer or some other persons whom he re- garded with suspicion ap- proaching the bar, all he had to do was to tip the liquor over and spill it in the hole below, or if it hap- pened to be in a bottle, toss the bottle in the same di- rection and break it on the stony bottom of the well. Brown, figuring he was vir- tually immune from suc- cessful arrest on a charge of bootlegging, was doing a rushing business, the of- ficers say. Meanwhile Froome and Dowling were figur- ing out a plan to "get the goods on Brown." The re- sult was they slipped down to Tehama quietly after dark and looked over the ground. Dowling crawled under the Rio Rena hotel the full length of the build- ing and finally found the open space leading from the bar above to the hold in the ground. While ly- ing on his stomach Dowl- ing heard a bootlegger tell Brown that he could "make the stuff and have it here every two days." One fel- low wanted to cash a check and buy more drinks, but Brown refused, declaring the customer was drunk already. Still another fel- low commended the qual- ity of Brown's liquor. Crawls under hotel Then Dowling crawled back and had a brief con- ference with Froome. They agreed on the time to close in on Brown, which was 11:45 p.m. Crawling un- der the hotel again, Dowl- ing resumed his position near the open space under the bar. He had a milk pan which he placed in the way to catch anything Brown might send down. At the appointed time Froome walked inside the barroom and approached Brown behind the bar. "Dump her," said Froome, addressing Brown. "I did," came the ready response from Brown. "Did you get her, Billy," shouted Froome at Dowl- ing who was holding the milk pan under the floor in a position to catch what Brown threw down. Bill gets it "I got her," was Dowl- ing's reply. "Well, you fellows beat me at my own game," de- clared Brown in a sur- prised tone. Then Dowling once more crawled out from under the hotel, holding the milk pan tightly in one hand and in which about half a pint of liquor was found. — July 31, 1924 90 YEARS AGO... Two officers cleverly beat a bootlegger Do you know that if you sell your home and make a profit, the gain may not be taxable? That's just one key tax rule that you should know. Here are ten facts to keep in mind if you sell your home this year. 1. If you have a capital gain on the sale of your home, you may be able to exclude your gain from tax. This rule may apply if you owned and used it as your main home for at least two out of the five years before the date of sale. 2. There are exceptions to the ownership and use rules. Some exceptions ap- ply to persons with a dis- ability. Some apply to certain members of the military and certain gov- ernment and Peace Corps workers. For details see Publication 523, Selling Your Home. 3. The most gain you can exclude is $250,000. This limit is $500,000 for joint returns. The Net Invest- ment Income Tax will not apply to the excluded gain. 4. If the gain is not tax- able, you may not need to report the sale to the IRS on your tax return. 5. You must report the sale on your tax return if you can't exclude all or part of the gain. And you must report the sale if you choose not to claim the ex- clusion. That's also true if you get Form 1099-S, Pro- ceeds From Real Estate Transactions. If you report the sale you should review the Questions and Answers on the Net Investment In- come Tax on IRS.gov. 6. Generally, you can ex- clude the gain from the sale of your main home only once every two years. 7. If you own more than one home, you may only ex- clude the gain on the sale of your main home. Your main home usually is the home that you live in most of the time. 8. If you claimed the first-time homebuyer credit when you bought the home, special rules apply to the sale. For more on those rules see Publication 523. 9. If you sell your main home at a loss, you can't de- duct it. 10. After you sell your home and move, be sure to give your new address to the IRS. You can send the IRS a completed Form 8822, Change of Address, to do this. Important note about the Premium Tax Credit. If you receive advance payment of the Premium Tax Credit in 2014 it is im- portant that you report changes in circumstances, such as changes in your in- come or family size, to your Health Insurance Market- place. You should also no- tify the Marketplace when you move out of the area covered by your current Marketplace plan. Advance payments of the premium tax credit provide financial assistance to help you pay for the insurance you buy through the Health Insur- ance Marketplace. Report- ing changes will help you get the proper type and amount of financial assis- tance so you can avoid get- ting too much or too little in advance. If you still need to do your 2013 taxes, use IRS e-file to prepare and file your tax return. The tax software will do most of the hard work for you. You can use IRS e-file through Oct. 15. If you file a paper return, you may use the worksheets in Publication 523 to help you file. For more on the sale of a home see Publication 523 on IRS.gov. You can call 800-TAX-FORM (800-829- 3676) to get it by mail.
