RAID ON HOTEL
BAR CLOSED FOR HALF AN HOUR By Telegraph —Press Association AUCKLAND, June 10. Excitement was caused in the city early this afternoon when three detectives raided an hotel and arrested a barman. On entering the bar they announced that it was being raided as a common gaming house. All the customers left, some leaving their drinks and the police then closed the doors while they searched for betting material. The bar doors were closed for half an hour, this causing a number of people to gather outside. Later Harry McDonald, aged 44 years, was remanded on bail on a charge of using a public bar as a gaming house. __________
