COUNTY OFFICERS

CHASING WH|SKEY
Four Big Barrels of Mystery
Booze Located and the
Question Is, Who Owned
All this Firewater?
THREE COMPLAINTS ISSUED

District Attorney H. " Edwards
returned from an official trip to Salt
Lake Thursday night and went right
into action with a barrage fire that
caused panic In the ranks of the
booze battalion" and resulted in the
bagging of prisoners.
Upon the return of the district at
torney he was informed of the rumor
that the majority of 1,4GO quarts of
'whiskey reported TO have been own
ed by Ole Elliott and declared to
be in the possession of George Nc
Donald had disappeared. The rc-
port of the disappearance of the
liquor did not interest the attorney
as much as the information that such
an amount of nose paint" existed
within his official jurisdiction. His
usually pleasant countenance chang
ed at once into an expression of rigid
determination. his square jaw snap
ped and he declared he would follow
the baying of rumor until he discov-
cred the corpus deficit or prove the
falseness of the circulating nara
tive.
A consultation was Immediately
called with Sheriff Enslow and HIS
force which resulted in many hur-
ried trips in the long green car of
the sheriff and before the curfew
rang there were four barr-ts of the
10y STUFF delivered to the undis-
eoverable dungeon from which no
booze returns.
A complaint was issued against
George Mcdonald, charging him with
the unlawful possession of liquor, but
as he does not claim to own the stuff
there is likely to be several delicate
questions in law arise. Just who the
owner of tie liqusr is may never be
determined. as the claiming Of such
an amount of whiskey might carry a
responsil ility that even the most arid
appetite would hesitate at the re-
sulting consequences
The foregoing rapid work with the
satisfying results would appear to be
good days work for the official of
the law. but 1t was the district at
torney's day and also proved to be
his night. While sitting down to his
evening meal at cafe, he overheard
conversation between the pro-
prietor and a customer which at
tracted his attention. The customer
did not think it necessary to conceal
the fact that he had INDUCED to
