PROHIBITION OFFICERS
MAKE RAID

Ol1A July oV.--
Five men in the Harrison, coun-
ty Jail, 2,100 gallons of mash, L.
100 gallons of pickhandle and
fifteen gallons Of moonshine, to-
gether with five 10-gallan stills
are the net results of a raid con-
Quoted by federal officers at
Downs, Marion county, yester-
day. The men were all brought
here last night and after hear
ings before Albert L. Lohm,
United States commissioner,
each was held for the Martin
burg term of federal court for
the Northern district Of West
Virginia under bond of $500.
As none could raise the bond
they are in the county jail await
the expiration of the five day
limit set b ythe commissioner
before they are transferred to
county where the next term of
court will be held.
The raid was spectacular in
every respect. Leaving here
early Wednesday morning five
federal prohibition officers,
Captain v. M. Midkiff, w. w.
Wheeler, r. A. Miller, Coleman
Stalnaker, and j. j. Duerr, went
to Fairmont where their party
was augmented by Deputy Sher-
iff Howard Woodland and De-
putty United States Marshall
George HI. Rose. Going direct
to Downs twelve houses were
searched and the officers state
that if there had been enough
men on hand twelve arrests
would have been made and
twelve stills confiscated.
When the officers arrived in
the town they went to the homes
for which they had search war
rants and while they were in the
first few homes, there was
much excitement at the other
houses in the small mining COM
.munity and it is the general be-
lief that persons who had illicit
whiskey on their Premises
spirited the stuff away.
The men arrested are j. e.
Moore, Lenny H. Harvey, Fred
Salmick, Andy Sevelyocks and
George Nezvish, three of whom
pleaded guilty to violating the
federal prohibition act and were
bound over to court without a
hearing, while the other two
were given hearings. In addit-
ion to being charged with vio-
lating the prohibition law, Moore
was also held on a charge of in
terfering with the officers.
There were many unusual
circumstances connected with
this raid. Many Of the inhabit-
ants of the town went into hid
ing while practically all refused
to talk. Two Of the men for
whom the officers had warrents
and at whose homes stills had
ben found ran into the pit of
coal mine and it was several
hours before they were finally
located At another house,
moonshine was found buried in
a casket in the back yard. AT
still another place the woman
of the house, foreigner, struck
gallon jug which one of the of
ficers was in the act of lifting
from cupboard to the floor
and broke it, giving the officer
moonshine drenching.
For the amount Of mash and
pickhandle confiscated this raid
was possibly the largest ever
staged in this section of West
Virginia. The stills together
with samples of various fluids
found, were brought to the pro-
hibition officers headquarters
in the federal building here
while the rest of the stuff was
dumped out,
