RAID AT TE AROHA.
SWEEPSTAKE INCIDENT.
TWO MEN TO BE CHARGED
(From Our Own Correspondent.) TE AROIIA, Friday. Advice lias been received in To Aroha that only two prosecutions Avill be made as the result of the raid which took place two weeks ago, when the police surprised a large gathering in the Masonic Hall during , the progress of a Calcutta sweepstake and took the names of approximately 200 men. According to a decision made by the Commissioner of Police, Mr. W. G. Wohlmann, two men will be charged with conducting a cormnon gaming house. District racing clubs will doubtless be pleased to know that their meetings will not be detrimentally affected in regard to attendances, which would have resulted if numerous convictions were recorded.
