Iron River, Mich, Feb. 26.---The armed force of federal agents under command of Major A. V. Da1rymple, who came here from Chicago to put down liquor rebellion in the upper Michigan peninsula,'' today had been withdrawn and the revolt itself had fickered out The only casualties were nine barrels of home made wine taken by revenue agents from a par ish priests house where the state had stored it for safe keeping, and poured into the snow.
 Major Dalrymple's announced inten- ton to arrest States Attorney M. s. McDonough and county and Iron River officials as parties to the Ire beIhon' was abandoned under orders from c. F. Kramer, national prohibi- ton commissioner, directing with drawals of the invaders.
 H. B. Gaylord, assistant chief O. prohibition enforcement, was enroute from Washington to Iron River to make an investigation, demanded in telegrams from McDonough, who in- sisted there was no "revolt'' and charged that his constituency had been libeled by Dalrymple's reports.
 McDonough and Da1rymple held a conference in the lobby of hotel here yesterday. Muludl dcCuSal1OnA of grand standing and 'pubIicity seeking were made and McDonough threatened to arrest the major an1 put him in jail if he made a move to ttstart something.'' There were many witnesses and to the confer ence among whom was the Iron River chief of police, who held warrant for Dalrymple's arrest. The war rant, however, was not served.
