So PROHIBITION RAIDERS
CLEAN UP OHIO VILLAGE
II Resorts Entered; Is Persons
Arrested in ElmwOod.
By United Press

By CHited Press
CINCINNATI, O., March 1.-The
quiet village of Elrnwood place
near here had considerable to talk
about today as thirteen villagers
prepared to go before the United
States commissioner in answer to
prohibition law charges.
Elmwood place was its usual
peaceful self Thursday night when
there was great burst of activity.
Dinners and firesides we're deserted
and the villagers poured into the
streets to discover the source of a
great racket.
The noise-makerS were fifty-eight
federal and state prohibition agents
who dropped, unheralded into the
town late Thursday, quickly raided
seventeen suspected home brew
resorts and locked up eighteen of
the citizenry. Five of these later
were released, but the remainder
were held for the United States
commissioner.

itants Told of Early Days

his boyhood days in South Washington,

hand so severely that amputation was
necessary.
Had Narrow Escapes.
Dubbing himself wharf rat" Judge
Mattingly told with many chuckles how
he had played hockey" from school
and hid and played under the wharves.
and how he had been so adventureSome
he had several times come near death.
He was nearly drowned three times, he
said, was run over by an ice wagon
once, kicked in the head by horse
and knocked unconscious when buried
under a big pile of bricks which had
fallen on him. He remembered with
pride having carried water to the
elephant to get into circus on the
grounds at Ninth and S streets.
Before the days of the modern dairy,
Judge Mattingly said. South Washing
ton was supplied by milk from COWS in
that section of the city. He referred
to the development of st. Dominic's
Church, and said that before the
church was built the priests said mass
in his grandfather's house.
A large part of the island in his boy
hood days. Judge Mattingly said, was
over grown with cat-o-nine tails and
weeds, yet. he added. ''those were the
happiest days of my life"
