that was stated to be the largest of
its kind in the history of prohibition
in Arizona. Arraignment proceedings
were carried on throughout the day
before James Allison, United States
commissioner, who set bond for each
person at $1,000. Not more than half

amount necessary to effect their re-

M. p. CROSBY, federal prohibition
agent of Phoenix, and S. e. Kent of
Tucson were in charge of the federal
operatives, who took part in the raid.
They were acting under orders of John
III. Udell, deputy prohibition adminis-
traitor for Arizona, and were armed
with a blanket complaint and a num-
Der of bench warrants issued by Judge
w. H. Sawtelle of Tucson, based on
information previously secured by
sleuths.

proceedings, when friends and relatives
