RAID IS MADE
ON PARK VIEW
Heagerty's Place. Visited
by National Guards
men.
Proprietor and Bartender
Are Taken Into
Custody.

Henry P. Heagerty. mine host Of the
Park View Hotel situated at the corner
of Stanyan and Waller streets, ran afoul
of a National Guard captain. Saturday
night and was arrested for selling liquor
without a license. His bartender. John
Kennedy, is alleged to have displayed
huge revolver in a ruthless manner. The
two, proprietor and assistant, were
locked up In the Park police estation and
later released on $500 cash bail. Heagerty
has enjoyed protection for some time, but
has yet to whip the military into line.
Captain H. G. Stindt Of the First Reg
iment, N. G.. c.. and four privates
swooped down upon the park resort Sat
urday night, Stindt says that for some
line of rubber -heeled citizens passing
to and from Heagerty's cafe" entrance.
Captain Stindt's trained eye observed q
thirsty, haunted look pervading the faces
Of the visitors as they skunk. gum-boot
like, across the rue Stanyan and under
the cover of dim gas lamps disappeared
into Heagerty's hostelry. He noticed,
with equal discernment, that the hag-
gard, dry look had left the various coun-
tenances as the refreshed ones crawled
under the boards which are supposed to
make Heagerty's place entrance proof.
1t is also rumored that distinctive
sound not unlike the smacking Of lips
followed each refugee in his exit from
the Park View.
Captain Stindt placed himself and four
Of his men in hiding across the street
In the bushes or the park saturday night.
He was rewarded soon. Following two
thirsty men who resembled emergency
surgeons, Stindt caught Heagerty. so he
alleges. in the act OF dispensing for
money drinks Of stimulating liquors.
When the pinch" came off, Stindt
says that Kennedy. the bartender, swung
with reckless abandon q long pistol.
When the prisoners reached the police
station Heagerty's face wore a woe
begone expression. He looked in vain for
policeman friend. but saw none. The
military had control. They say Heagerty
was frightened, but the Stanyan- street
host denies the statement. -Four hundred
dollars released the duo. Heagerty Is
now nursing his hurt feelings and won
dering why military men cannot be won
over, the same as some municipal au-
thorities.

volunteered his services. The location

that the water supply was short and
