ALLEGED GAMBLING SCHOOL
POLICE RAID AT CHRISTCHURCH
[Pick Piuses Association.]
CHRISTCHURCH, May 31. Detectives Ward, Gibson, Livingstone. and H. P. Kennedy were successful yesterday morning in happening upon a “school” of alleged gamblers in Sydenham. About eleven o’clock the detectives found about a dozen men, mostly young men, engaged in what is reported to have been a game of chance with cards. They also had two-up kips, which it; is alleged they were about to use. The “school” was discovered in a blind street. Previous immunity from interference and the possibly mistaken idea as to the innocence of their actions, led to them being caught napping, the outposts that most “schools” have being non-exist-ent. The names of the' men were taken, and prosecutions will follow.
