The Cleveland Press took this picture during a police raid during the Tong Wars. While Cleveland's On Leong and Hip Sing tongs had many feuds in the early 20th century, the deaths of two Chinese men in late 1925 drew police attention. Detective John Gannon breaking in a door in an Ontario street store. Behind him Detective Henry Cowles prepares to help. | Creator: City of Cleveland Board of Zoning Appeals | Date: September 24, 1925 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph CollectionDownload Original File
