Dry Agents Make Big
Haul in Scobey Raid
Huge Cache Of Canadian
Goods Discovered and
Conhscated
Place "Pinched" Has Long
Been Source Of Much
Complaint

Scobey-Customs inspector Ted
Winters and o. c. Woodward made
raid about 5 o'clock Sunday morning
which proved costly for Frank Nash
who with Jimmy Burke, was arrested
and charged with possession and sale
of whiskey, beer wine and smuggled
goods. Lester Flick was also arrest
ed earlier in the night with 5 gal
Ion of alcohol in his car it is alleged
His car was confiscated.
Nash and Flick were each held un-
der $1,000 bonds and Burke's bonds
were set at $500.
The offers had been to Flaxville
and it was while on the highway near
there they overauled Flick and "a
Flaxville man who was driving
car. Both were brought to Scobey
and the Flaxville man was released
as it was apparent that he had moth
ing more to do with the car or booze
than to quench his thirst.
Returning about three o'clock they
made trip to the Nash shack on the
river bank about three miles north
west Of Scobey Working under
cover of darkness, as they had done
many nights before to find the place
patronized by young boys and girls,
the officers saw Nash leave the shack
and put some beer in the river to
COOL They lost him in the darkness
but he soon returned AS he enter
ed the shack the officers arrested him
with two bottles of whiskey inside
his pants belt and a case of beer in
his hands.
In the shack were a number Of
men, some of them well under the
influence of liquor. Two women of
the Flaxville vicinity and two young
BOYS were among those present the
officers allege. One of the boys was
Il years old and the other about Is.
For many weeks the officers have
been watching the place, as the par
ents of Scobey boys and girls were
complaining that the place had be-
come dangerous nuisance. The Of
fcers, however wanted to find the
booze ache having previously raided
the place and found nothing.
After lodging Nash and Burke in
Jail they continued the search and
not until evening was the cache found
They dragged the river and found 4
few bottles of beer left there to cool,
but were sure there was a big supply
somewhere close.
In dugout in the bank where a
new light plant had been installed
the officers found carefully concealed
cave. Wrecking the partitions with
crowbars they found 40 cases of beer
25 jugs of wine, "a quarts Of whis-
key, some brandy, creme de menthe,
ETC., all of it apparently of Canadian
manufacture.

CONTROVERSY FUTILE

In preparing the editorial regarding the local pow
er situation which appeared in the April 27 issue Of
this publication the Press realized that the stand taken
therein would not go unchaenged
Paralleling this article, is letter from NJ. j.
Dowd, chief engineer of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trct, challenging the Press stand.
AT the outset of his article Nh Dowd attacks the
credlbity of Mr. Wing, whose report the Press sup
ports and the good faith of j. j. Deuel. who authorized
the gathering Cf the data which the report based
Mr. Deuel. Is manager of the law and utilities de
partment of the California Farm Bureau Federation.
His order to Mr. Wing, instructing him to make
of the district project is written on federation let
terhead signed by Deuel. Surely the manager of a
department has authority to issue instructions to his
subordinates, or else he is manager.
There Is no reason why the Press should doubt the
good faith of Mr. deuel. or Mr.. Wing, merely because
Mr.. Dowd does.
Likewise, there no moro reason why the Press
should consult the dis trict engineers before taking
stand on the matter, than it should consult the enp
neers of the Southern Sierras Power COMPANY We
have in our files copies of the Wing Dowl Kempkey
and Bond Commission reports, all sufficient to ac-
quaint anyone thoroughly with the claims of all parties
relative to the matter.
The Press not of the belief in taking its stand
that It could change the opinion of Mr.. Dowd the
irrigation district officials does seek to do
Neither does it propose to engage in long drawn out
controversy with Mr. Dowd, the irrigation district of
fcials the power company executives, any other
faction. Such controversy would be useless and
would require space than the Press afford
give Neither can the arguments of the district Off
cialS change the stand we have taken.
We are glad to give the same publicity to Mr.
DOWd'S letter accorded the Wing report and
Mr. Dowd will find columns open to any further
comment ne may wish to make, opportunity which
will be accorded to others who wish to express them
selves.
The Press only asks in fairness to Itself that such
contributions be as concise it is possible to make
them and the right to refuse to print in its
entirety, any communication which indulges even par
TALLY, in personalities recrminatonS. The general
news, relative developments in the matter will be
treated with absolute impartiality.
