Raids on Saloons

Who is behind the many raids now
being made on alleged liquor places is
the question that is being asked all over
the city. 1t is not the sheriff, for his
forces have not been in the raiding
parties, and policemen are absent from
the invading officers. So far the work
has been done by constables, out of the
court Of Justice of the Peace Boiling
Young, on warrants signed H. G. Duke,
who Is said to be a former policeman.
Within recent weeks several places
have been raided by men of the sheriff S
office, but the onslaughts that are caus-
ing the talk were by the consta bles.
There are some who think the solicitor
may be behind them but others think
If this were so the papers would b,
served by the sheriff. The places under
suspicion, and which have so far escaped,
are In daily fear that they will be
pounced upon and put into the raided
class. 1t Is not secret, however, that
there is a general sale of most anything
one wants to drink in the city.
