IMPORTANT RAID.
KAPPA and His Men Clean Out a
Notorious Joint.

Detective KAPPA and his men made
q raid on an opium joint above the
pork shop of zee Wo. on King street,
about $50 last evening,iand succeeded
in capturing nine smokers, together
with Young E, the proprietor. This
place has long been suspected by the
police. and several attempts to get in
to the joint have resulted in failure.
Not long ago Gus Cordes came very
nearly getting his head taken off by
one of the large barricaded doors.
KAPPA and his men went about it in
quet- manner. climbed up on the roof,
escape, in case of the approach of Off
GERS, and, jumping in. took the China
men so by surprise that they did not
even have time to do away with any OF
their opium or outfits. They were all
arrested and locked up.
Young T. confessed to the ownership
Of the joint, and will probably plead
guilty to the charge of unlawful pos
session of opium in the Police Court
today. The others would say nothing.
The joint was one of the most per-
fectly barricaded of any that have ever
been discovered in the city. There are
two rooms next to the roof. After go
ing up a flight of stairs from lane,
one is met by a heavy door. This is
bolted on the inside by means of a
heavy wooden bar A hole about three
inches in diameter is provided with a
shutter, so that man on guard may
see who is approaching. Up another
fight of stairs one comes to another
heavy door with three heavy wooden
bars in front of it. and which can be
locked by a combination from inside.
This opens into the smoking rooms
prOper-twO little bits of places hardly
large enough to move about in
To the right of the last door is q
hole which, when the top is pulled up
looks down into the butcher shop be-
low. Through this the signals for GUS
toners are given.
In one of the smoking rooms is q
large funnel arrangement connecting
with a cesspool below. Through this
the opium and outfits are thrown at
the approach of the police.
Kappa and his men deserve great
credit for cleaning out this notorious
joint
