' Chief Hatcher would like very much to find soiuo way of stopping the Illegal sale of intoxicants in Ashland. The effects of this traffic are appar ent, but It Is no easy matter to catch the, poison peddlers. There is reason to believe, Hatch er states, that liquor Is belug manu factured for sale In or ne'ur Ashland, prunes anrf raisins being the main nialeiluls employed, probably, al though no surprise would he occa sioned by the discovery of an old fashloned corn still in some secluded '..nyon nearby, Buying cider und letting it fer ment is too simple and the results of drinking same only mildly Intoxlcat' iug, which does not suit the average booze fighter, says Chief Hatcher. What the drinking public demands Is a beverage which will set a man whirling with a single swallow and make him want to climb a tree back wan.' after taking a full drink.

DETAII.S OF CASE CHECK; NO EFFORT VET MADE TO COM PARE THREATENING LETTERS IN HOTH CASES. Local police are puzzling over the possibilities of the unknown black mailer, who attempted to extort S 1000 from Dr. Francis G. Sweden burg, OKU Boulevard, by means of threatening letters durlug the past month, being brought to Justice by the capture of Kaymono! .Moore, ar rested In Klamath Falls and charged with complicity In an attempted blackmailing case similar to the Ash land affair. John Siemens Jr., cash ier of the First State and Savings bank at Klamath Fulls, received the threatening notes and was the vic- 1 1 i in of an attempt at extortion to the amount nf $ J "(H. Similar to the Swedeuliui'K affair, the note writer threatened to "blow up" the home ot .Mr. Siemens. Chief of Police Hatcher stated this morning that he believed both attempts at blackmail were made by the same party. Hatcher, who ex amined' the Sweileuburg notes close ly before turning them over to Sher iff Ten 111, argues thut both at tempts were handled ln a slmllitr manner. He states thut the notes ure similar in their lAiiuands and threats of retaliation for failure to "1 8 U""B l" " ,,,e two cases D" ; Investigation, scouting investigation, scouting the theory ofl",ul u,u "c'ia B.uan .1 .... - ated f rn in the same source. Chief Hatcher mild that the entire matter hail been turned over to the sher iff's office, and that he was not fam iliar witli any action now being tak en. Sheriff Tori ill himself could tbe uut bo reached today, although tele phoned Information direct from his office was to the effect that nothing had been ifone to compare the evl- j deuce in the Sweilenburg case with j that of the Klamath Falls affair. It i Is thought by the local police that I similarity in handwriting might be , observed If the threatening notes ' were compared. i In the local rase the notes were i shoved under the door ot the Swed en lung home, although In Klamath Fulls the letters were sent through tho mall. The name of Raymond Moore can not he found in either an Ashland or .Medford directory, although he claims to have worked as an automo bile mechanic In the latter city.
