In a Raid Made at 7O4 Grand Avenue
 YesterHay.


 For some time the Grand avenue po- 1 lice have been receiving complaints to | the effect that Charles Schultz. who keeps a saloon at No. 704 Grand ave- nue, was selling liquor on Sunday. In consequence the police have watched the place and on several Sundays saw ! numbers of men enter and leave the building, but could find no place in the building where liquor was being sold. Yesterday men were seen entering and leaving the building and Sergeant Con- molly and Patrolman P. McQueeney en- tered to investigate. The police say that Schultz keeps the lower hall doors. front and rear, locked, and opens the door for customers, whom he can see coming by sitting at a rear window. The plan has been, they say, for cus- toners to enter from the Franklin street side and to go out the door on the Grand avenue side. The police also say that he has kept spotters out to warn

 Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Connol- ly and Patrolman McQueeney by jump ing over fences and going through back yards from Hamilton street were enabled to get to the rear of Schultz's place without being seen by spotters. They then waited at the door at the rear leading into the lower hall, not being able to enter because it was lock- ed. They had waited only a few min utes when man opened the door from the inside to come out. As he opened it, the officers stepped in and went on up the stairs to the third floor, where they found Schultz in vacant room just over his living apartments The room was well stocked with liquors beer and glasses and the appearance of the room was such as to indicate that business had been done there. Just across the hall lives a family by the name of O'Donnell and when he saw the officers, Schultz rushed across to the ODonnell apartments and accused Mrs O'Ronnell of having the liquor in the vacant room. The O'Donnells denied the charge and said that the liquor be- longed to Schultz and that he had been selling it. The officers seized the wet goods, 10S bottles of beer and ten bottles of whishey. A warrant for Schultz's arrest will be issued to-day.
