THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

DRY OFFICERS MUST GET WRIT

Ban Placed on Arrests or Search of Homes Without War- . rants. ‘RUM ARMY’ BACK IN CHICAGO palrymple Denies He Will Resign— McDonough Is Hero of the Hour at Iron River—Plot to Ambush Invaders. Chicago, Feb. 27. —Orders not to make any arrests without proper warrants, or arrests without sufficient evidence, or searches in private homes, were received by United States District Attorney Charles F. Clyne from Attorney General Palmer. i While no comment was made by District Attorney Clyne, it is believed that the attorney general issued these orders as the result of the trouble started by the meh in Major A. V. Dalrymple’s office in attempting to arrest । violators of the prohibition amendment before warrants were issued.

This order is also taken to mean that no more raids will be made upon any private homes in search of evidence. It is also understood that the order will not Interfere with officials making arrests if they catch violators in the net., The bloodless conflict of the northern peninsula was not lost —it was abandoned for stategic reasons, founded, It appears, on discretion. "Army" Back in Chicago. Blaming the dispatch from Washington for his retreat, and still fretting from his vexing encounter with the belligerent and peppery-tongued Martin McDonough, the deflant prosecuting attorney of the Iron River district, the major and his “army” are back in Chicago. The major denied that he intended to resign, as has been rumored. He admitted that he received no official notification of their coming, but acting on the newspaper dispatch, decided to withdraw. He was not ordered not to make the arrests, but concluded that from the tone of the telegram advising discretion and the press dispatch telling of Gaylord’s coming that it would be wiser to refrain from going further In the matter, he averred. Fear of violence and bloodshed, he avowed, did not enter into his considerations In the matter. McDonough Hero of Hour. Iron River, Mich., Feb. 27. —It was learned that a party of 100 miners, woodmen and hunters gathered near Stambaugh, a mile from here, prepared to capture the federal prohibition raiders’ train, had Major Dalrymple carried out his threat to arrest District Attorney McDonough In the prohibition enforcement fracas. They said they intended to take McDonough away from Dalrymple ami leave the federal agents stranded In> their railroad coaches. Mr. McDonough, a young lawyer who served during the war as a captain of infantry, is the most popular man *n Iron county. Hundreds of telegrams congratulating him poured in- throughout the day. Mr. McDonough's appearance tn public in the morning was a triumphal procession of friends, who accompanied him from his home to the office, and by the time thel-busines» district was reached the impromptu, parade had become a procession.
