Despite the almost universal use OF the BIZ

when they hear a bell, that It Is their duty

SUNDAY RAIDS.
Pawtucket Police Move on the Ille.
gal Liquor Sellers.

Pawtucket, Aug. AT last the police
authorioties have awakened to the fact
that there are illegal barrooms in this
aroused so much that the law relating To
the sale Of liquor will now be enforced.
Some OF the officers were detailed to
visit few of the places designated re.
Gently. so fearful were the authorities OF
allowing the reporters TO secure any OF
the facts that IL swas with considerable
difficulty that any Of the details could
be learned.
Sulivan's place was visited ip the
afternoon. In the true sense OF the word
the raid was n success. The place was
crowded with men, and q large quantity
of beer and liquor were seized.
The place is on York avenue, and the
inmates were taken by surprise for when
the officers were seen coming in the patrol
wagon, about 20 men began to make
themselves scarce.
Some of the men were determined that
the officers should not seize all the
liquids, and carried with them jugs OF
beer and whiskey, and hid them in the
woods lt was cheap way of getting
drunk. but the men did not mind that
in the least.
IL IL said that nearly barrel of beer
was found on the premises, besides other
liquors
"A reporter called mt the Office OF CHIEF
OF Police Rice this forenoon for the pur-
pose of learning the particulars Of the
raid, but the chief was not present, and
Sergt Gardner was also absent, AS he Is
said TO have gone on an excursion 20
Newport. Consequently no futber infor-
nation could be learned about the Sui
liyan raid.
Another place visited was that con-
Quoted 10y John Osfield near Central
avenue as he was also suspected Of run
ming Kitchen barroom. The raid was
made by Officers William Rockford and
Charles Hill.
IL Mr.. Osfield Is conducting contra
band trade in whiskey and lager, the
OIL GERS were unable TO make much of a
seizure, for all that they found We're four
large bottles of lnger, at least the liquid
was assumed to be lager 1t was taken
TO tho police station.
Officer Rockford. who is in charge of
the police station today, reluctantly
answered some OF the questions asked by
the reporter concerning the raid.
There were several men In Osfield's
house when the officers called, but what
action will be taken by tho authorities Is
not yet known. The place was raided
before.
