Included Among Those
Caught in Net
26 Persons Arrested During
Course of Sudden Pro
hibition Drive
OROFINO. Tdaho, Feb. 1.
AP) Twenty six residents of
the mountainous Clearwater river
country. Including Chief of Police
Charles Crumpacker, of Orofino,
were arrested in a swooping raid
of federal and county officers to
day and tonight. All excepting
Crumpacker. who was charged
with sal of liquor, were charged
with possession, sale and con
spiracy to violate the federal li
quor laws.
The raid, groundwork for
which was prepared by an army
of under eover agents. who had
worked several weeks, was start
ed simultaneously In Orofino and
Pierce. It took the towns by sur
prise, the of fleers said, and no ef
fort was made to evade the
agents. The first arrest was made
shortly after 2 o'clock, and late
tonight three of the eight federal
and county men involved were
still serving warrants.
Police Chief Charged
With Violating Oath
Crumpacker, the only one not
charged with conspiracy, was
charged with actual sale of li
quor, and officers said he used
his office to carry on the traffic.
As a climax a group of agents
captured a completely equipped
modern 200 gallon still, arrest
ing Earl Rldgway as its alleged
operator. Also 65 gallons of
moonshine whisky, 15 barrels of
mash and much equipment were
seized. The officers said they
believed this plant was supplying
the needs of the Clearwater coun
try, and much of the liquor sold
by" the 2 6 men and women orig
inated at this still.
' As the raiders began to report
here with their prisoners, who In;
eluded hotel operators. cigar
tore owners, garage men, farm
ers and timber workers,' commis
sioner, E. H. Miles of Coeur
d'Aleae, Idaho, brought here for
the, raid, commandeered the lobby
of the Helgeson hotel and turned
It Into a court room. Tonight It
was Jammed with prisoners and
their friends, who had been sum
moned hastily to furnish bonds.
Jail Crowded As
Bonds Not Furnished
Bonds ranging downward from
1000 were set and those who
couldn't furnish the money were
ordered Jailed. Only a small
part of them put up bonds, but
the session was still going on to
night, and it was believed that all
arraignments, could not be dis
posed of until early tomorrow
morning.
One member of the raiding par
ty, who refused to permit the use
f his name, said that about IS
more warrants remained to be
served.
Commissioner Miles said that
most of the prisoners indicated;
they wonld waive hearings, and
would be bound over to the fed
eral court for trial, probably at
Moscow during the May term.
W. W. Pickett, of Lewiston,
who gained experience in Alaska,
but who has been In charge of
enforcement at Lewiston for sev
eral years, captained the raid.

Saturday forenoon, although
the water was not nearly so high
as It hag been on many previous
occasions occasions before the
construction of these bridges. Its
surface was Just flush with the
bottom of the concrete girders on
the Winter street bridge. This
la the bridge behind which the
water backed up several weeks
ago and caused extensive damage
to homes in the vicinity.

In defending the work of the
bridge engineers, who were dis
missed by the city council last

work which had not been remov

stream capacity. The false work
has tinea been removed. -
W. H. Dancy, chairman of the
new bridge committee appointed
this year, stated Saturday that
the present flooding behind the
Winter street bridge was not
caused by a dam below the bridge,
for the water was considerably
lower there than above the span.
