 Iron River, Mich, Feb. 25.-The armed force of federal agents under command of Major A. V. Dalrymple, who came here from Chicago to "put down a liquor rebillion in the upper Michigan peninsula" today had been withdrawn and the "revolt" itself had flickered out. The only casualties were nine barrels of homemade wine taken by revenue agents from a parish priests house, where the state had stored it for safe keeping, and pourned into the snow. Major Dal- rymple's announced intention to ar rest States Attorney M. s. McDon- ough and county and Iron Riv- CT officials as parties to the rebellion" was abandoned under or ders from c. F. Kramer, national pro- hibition commissioner, directing withdrawal of the invaders"
 H. B. Gaylord, assistant chief of prohibition enforcement, was en route from Washington to Iron River to make an investigation demanded in telegrams from McDonough, who insisted there was no "revolt," ano charged that his constituency haG been libeled by Dalrymple's report
 Argument Warm
 The dialogue between McDonougt and Dalrymple, which was their only conference, took place in the biz room of the hotel which served as it's lobby. A hundred or more citi zens were present.
 When the preliminary handshakinl had been accomplished, the prosecut ing attorney plunged right into thu subject.
 "I have come here to issue warn ing to you, MT. Dalrymple," he said W have read about the various thing: you plan to do to "quell the whis key revolt, as you call it. What : want to tell you is this: If you o, any of your men attempt to arres me or my aides without due process of law, l will take you and your en tire party into custody immediately and I am prepared to do it. Nov get this right will arrest you ant your men and lock you up, and pu you where you belong, MT. Dalrym pie"
 The Major retorted:
 q don't want to get lecture iron you, and this seems entirely unnec essary. have come. here for tn purpose of enforcing the law. An, think this is righ-handed, grand : stand play"
 N"You are a natural born grand stander yourself" McDonough coun tered. "You have been playing t the public press, and have said thing which have been an outrageous af front to this community when yo declare there has been a whiskey re volt here, you lie. Now that you ar here, if you have any arrests make, just start something. Yo haven't scared or cowed anyon here"
 I To that Major Dalrymple replied
 "1 do not care to discuss the mat ter with you. I will continue m course of action and see it through \ will enforce the law" At this point a motion pictur operator interrupted to say:
 "Just moment major, stand, Il a little closer to MT. McDonough an pose for picture please" II "Of course he will," declared Mo Donough, "He likes it." "Keep atill," requested the can E era man.
 "That's what they do up here punned the major.
 More of your city ways," fence McDonough. "This picture takin I'm not use to it."
 I To Ses Kramer.
 You're a better actor than I
 replied Dalrymple.
 "Yes,' agreed the attorney, "an . you'll find l am bad actor. 4 for you, you are naturally nov
 posed. As matter of fact Mir. Da 8 rymple, don't believe you ha, a quite as much guts as when you g, v off the train last night. Press r ports quoted you as saving in e telegram to superior officers th' - this community was in rebellic r against the government. If you d I say it, it is a lie."
 8 Dalrymple then retired to his roo 8 in the hotel and McDonough to h y office. Later the federal ageh f boarded a train for Chicago and Il l state constabulary detailed to assi d the revenue men, were sent abo
 other duties.
