Smash Bar, Mirror, Glasses, Etc., and Pour Beer Into the Gutter
Chicago, March 9.—(AP)—Police, armed with hatchets, raided a near northside saloon last night and wrecked it after the manner made famous by Carrie Nation.
In spite of the fact that the establishment had obtained an injunction against police interference, the raiders smashed the bar, smashing the mirror, glasses and other equipment and then, emptied beer into the gutters.
The injunction told the policemen what they could and could not do in the saloon, but after carefully studying the writ Captain Daniel Murphy, who led the raid, decided it would not prevent him from stopping the illegal sale of beer.
