Richard Benjamin Bauer, soldier

we'll News, is speeding across the
continent today bound for San Fran
cisco and bent on the most profit
able adventure in his adventurous
career. With an evidence of good
faith in the form of a $4,000 roll of
greenbacks in his pocket, Bauer will
lay claim to an estate of $4,000.
when he arrives at the Golden Gate.
That estate had gone begging thir-
teen months. The sole heir knew
nothing of it until month ago.
Bauer is accompanied on the
trip across the country by Attorney
Benjamin Lovenstein, his legal rep

that the court will turn over the es-
tate of the late Benjamin Bauer,
father of the former Hopewell mayor,
to the son, the sole heir, as soon as
Bauer can establish his identity.
Bauer said before his departure he
would return in three weeks. He
had just drawn the $4,000 advance

Franklin Officers Arrest Moonshiners
-Botetourt Has Sensation.
Prohibition officers have discovered
a new trick on the part OF the moon
sinners in Franklin county. They
opened a grave near the public road
and put a barrel of whisky on top OF
the occupant. A pump was placed in
the barrel and the liquor was taken
out as orders were received. The
officers located the barrel and then
stood guard and finally catured a
number of men. The liquor had been
almost entirely consumed.
Another case that has been I'M
earthed by the prohibition officers IS
that of a negro woman in Botetourt
county Repeated visits of automoDll-
list to the house attracted attention.
and a raid revealed the presence Of
four white women anu one white
man in the house. Three of the wo-
men were married, the other single.
Liquors of various kinds were found.
Heavy fines were imposed and the
negro woman made the white women

were held at the Raleigh Hotel and
participated in by Senators Jones,
Yardaman, Shafroth, Beckham, Sterl-
ing, Thompson, Borah and Kenyon,
and Representative Webb.
There is little doubt that the amend
ments will be accepted by both the
House and the Senate, as majority
of both bodies are strongly inclined
toward temperance. The only OBJ
stacle in the path of the proposal is
an appeal by President Wilson to
leave the prohibition question-that
is, the use of food products in the
manufacture of intoxicants-to the
determination of Food Administrator
Hoover and his assistants.

yesterday and vegetables ana fish

The rush for meat supplies to carry

of crowding and some sharp talk was
heard against rich buyers who paid
any price the dealers asked, sending
