| The Ramsey county grand jury made
two reports yesterday. The final report
was made about 5: 80 D. m, when they
were discharged by Judge Egan, after
thanking them for giving their time to
the duties in the busy season. w. g.
Robertson, foreman, thanked the judge
/ on behalf of the jurors for courteSies
| extended and for remaining after court
hours to hear their report and thus per-
nit their discharge without returning
| to-day. The jury was composed Of

| A. Nash, James E. Olds. John c. Richardson

longing TO Ida Stevens, who sent it as her
| earnings from San Francisco TO Annie s.
| Void TO be put in a Minneapolis bank.
Several other indictments were
found, but their nature was not made
public for reasons of discretion by the
county attorney. 1t is presumed, how
ever, that the First Baptist church ser
mon is responsible for some Of them,
and. lnferring from the tenor of the
grand jury'S general report, some sa-
loonkeepers may have to respond to
some of them. III the general report. the
grand jury says:
considerable notoriety has been
| given by the newspapers to complaints
that gambling has been permitted in
the saloons of this city, and especially
| in the Waterman place on East Third
street, between Robert and Jackson
streets. We have caused large num-
Der of citizens, who it was said knew
| the circumstances, to be brought before
US. The police force are apparently
ignorant of violations of law in this con-
nectlon, and the grand jury requests
that the chief of police reInstruct the
patrolmen in their duties under the law
The policemen called before the grand
jury are apparently not aware that card
playing in saloons is prohibited by law,
and so far as our investigation
developed none were iii the habit OF 60
ing beyond the bar, when visiting sa-
looms, although in many such places, as
we are Informed, small rooms are par
titioned off, evidently for the purpose
OF card playing and presumably for
money or its equivalent.
I'VE are led to believe that gambling
and card playing are generally INDUCED
i'll in various saloons, but we could OBJ
tain no evidence as to other saloons at
this time. The grand jury met with
little assistance i'll their endeavors to
bring offenders to trial, for the reason
that citizens don't perform their duies
III appearing and testifying before grand
JurieS. and until such time as they shall
perform their duty as citizens the eff
forts Of grand juries will be fraught
with little, If any, success"
The jury pays compliment to
License Inspector Nugent, who, as a
matter Of fact, is always on hand to do
his honest duty when the grand jury is
i'll session, and is besides constantly
faithful to his official requirements.
The report says:
'We have examined the manner of
Issuing liquor licenses and paying there
for and the course pursued is ap-
proved by the grand jury.
