DECLARES THAT RAIDERS
TOOK DIAMOND RING
Norfolk Man in Whose Home Much
Liquor Was Seized SwPars Out
Warrants Against Vigil
liant OfFiccrs.

Local papers yesterday printed q
Norfolk dispatch stating that Guy T.
Horner, counsel for the office OF the
state prohibition commissioner, was
one Of the several defendants to crimi-
nal warrants sworn out in that city
by one 4. &. Bachus, charging them
with the larceny of n diamond ring
valued at $700. Bachus alleged the
ring was stolen while a raid was be
ing made n his domicile,
From the office of the prohibition
commissioned 1t was learned that in
formation was received that at a house
on Redgate avenue in Norfolk, where
a recent raid and seizure OF liquor
had been made in which people of
considerable prominence were In
volved, there was a still larger supply
OF liquor as yet undiscovered by the
raiders, and that haste was necessary
for the success of the second raid.
Mr. Horner and Inspector Ford
instructed to proceed to Norfolk,
which they did, leaving Richmond on
the train departing at 2 noon, arriv-
ing ia Norfolk. calling on q justice of
the peace. obtaining warrants and ac-
compagied by police officers, one
named PatroIman Jones, who Is also
named in the theft warrant, effected
the seizure of the liquor. left it with
the proper authorities and departed
from Norfolk on the AIS r. NJ. train,
Mr.. Horner being bound for Spotsyi-
vania to meet court engagement.
Mr.. Horner returned TO Richmond yes
terday and when interviewed said
This is tho first I have heard of IL,
but ] am mot surprised, nor am ! dis
concerted considering the source.
There will be 81 hearing In court in
be there. SO will l."
Mfr. Ford Is in Norfolk looking after
his regular work there.
missioner Peters made the fol-
lowing statement:
II do not know this Mr.. Bachus.
But | am wen acquainted with Mr..
Horner and Mr.. Ford, who are inti-
mately associated with mo in this de-
partment. and with their activities In
the enforcement OF the prohibition
law. Such tactics as are pursued by
Mr., Bachus against these gentlemen
does not surprise me very much. All
of us in this work are accustomed
to all manner of charges They &C
cuse some OF US OF perjury. and some
OF us of larceny, and some of US of
bribery, and OF every other crime.
IF Mr.. Bachus had sworn out a
warrant against me for stealing Il ring
would not have been more surprised,
nor wo4il1 I have been any the less
Disconnected. Mr. Jones, Mr.. Ford
and Mir Horner, I dare cay, are not
any more disconcerted than would
have been.
THE publicity given to such ac-
cusations Is unpleasant to gentlemen
AVID 10 their families, but II is inevita-
bic in this department, and we are
all reconcied to our lot and all OF
our families understand what we have
to contend with, The public need not
be alarmed"

Snoqualine Falls Lumber Co., Camp
A., Washington, Jan. IA, 1918.
Mrs. Amelia Schmutz New Har-
mony, Utah, Dearest Mother: have
had occasion to change my address
again, but was fortunate to get your
letter and the cake before leaving
Vancouver. The cake was the best
ever. Many,' many thanks to Sister
Anna Belle and the promoters of the
scheme. | got the quilt and pen at
last and | am surely glad that you
sent the quilt. You see when we left
camp Lewis we had to turn in all of
our bedding but two blankets, so the
quilt comes in just right.
Everything was in the Christmas
package all right; the cake was in ex-
cellent shape.
am now out somewhere in the
woods located fifty-seven miles north
east of Seattle Have been here
waiting for further orders for two
days and haY received none yet, so
I don't know whether | will stay here
and work or go back to Vancouver
There were sixty soldiers railroaded
up TO this camp to work as loggers,
but there is some rumor of part of us
going back; therefore we just have to
wait patiently about until the usual
string of red tape is gone through be-
fore we know what we are going to
do. We never know one day where
we will be or what we will be doing
the next. All we have to do is to
wait as if nothing was going to hap
pen.
The "chuck" of this camp is just
like hotel fare, so If | stay here you
need not worry about your son not
being well fed. The soldiers in the
logging camps are to get civilian pay,
buy their own clothes and pay their
board, which will be Sc 90 per week
at present. Wages range from $500
to $500 per day.
This is a modern logging camp and
the timber is like we read about in
books but never see in Utah. | am
putting in a plea for Job and can
tell you more definitely about things
later. Affectionately,
ELDON.
