LIKE A FORTRESS
WELLINGTON DEN RAIDED Wellington, Sunday. Seven Chinese suspeeted of smoking opium, were arrested in Haining; Street in the early hours of Sunday morning. It took two detectives and several constables over two hours to force an entrance. The premises were barricaded like a fortress. The doors were covered with wood and had iron bars. The entrance to the stairs was covered with steel and had iron trap doors which worked with ropes. The windows were covered inside and out with diamond mesh steel netting. The detectives forced their way through an upper window, cutting through the steel mesh and timber.
