USE AUTO IN RAIDS.

UOE HUIU lV nHIUOI
The automobile which belongs to De-
tective Otto Anderson, is proving a
valuable asset to the police depart
ment Detective Anderson uses the ma
chine in making raids, and with 1t the
police are more successful in approach
! ing suspected places, more successful
in capturing the stock of wet goods be-
| fore it can be destroyed and more sue
cessfuI in capturing and learning who
| is in charge of the wet goods. The
/ liquor sellers during the last few
months have been in the habit OF run
ming away and not claiming the goods
| that are found, thus avoiding prosecu-
| ton in numerous instances. This class
move from one location to another so
often that it is difficult for the police
to keep informed as to who operates
| the pump in the beer key and makes
| the collections on goods that are sold.
On account of this, the seller, when
making his escape, often avoids detec-
ton and prosecution, but with the aid
| of the automob bile, it is possible for the
police to rush in and surround the
booze emporiums before those in
| charge disappear. Such was the ex-
perience of the police Saturday night
| when they raided the place of G. H.
| Hulburt at 119 Van Buren, street. The
police rushed up to the place in the
machine and had both doors and one
side of the house guarded before Hurl-
| burt was aware of their presence. He
| jumped out of a window on the other
side of the house but the police saw
him. They did not go to the trouble
to chase him, as he is now enjoying
his liberty on bond for a similar Of
Tense and they knew that they could
find him at another time without much
trouble.
The police confiscated about seven
O9 n mr.
