Slot Machine Case Against Dayton
Is Dismissed.

Slot Machine Case Against Dayton
Is Dismissed.
The charge Of maintaining gambling
device in his place Of business at Sew
enth and Wabasha streets, which has
been pending against George w. Dayton
ii the police court since last spring,
was yesterday dismissed by Judge Two
ny ON the ground that the complaint in
the case in it's allegations. was in
sufficient to constitute public offense.
DaytOn'S arrest grew out OF a slot ma
chine running in his cigar store. Judge
TWohy has held that slot machines are
gambling devices, and the case against
Dayton was tried shortly after his ar
rest, but was intended for test case,
and was accordingly continued from
time to time, to allow the defendants
attorney and Assistant Prosecutor Hall
to come to an agreement, whereby no
impeachment might arise to prevent the
final settlement of the matter in such
manner that a precedent for the con-
StructiOn of the ordinance might be
established. Awaiting this agreement,
Judge Twohy withheld his decision I'M
til yesterday, and as the two attorneys
could come to no understanding, he
dismissed the case on the technicality
rather than run chances of a reversal
before the supreme court The point Of
the objection raised by DaytOn's at
tOrney was that the complaint merely
charged the maintenance of a Slot ma
chine, and did not describe the machine
Tor it's purpose or workings.
City Prosecutor Hall stated after the
dismissal of the Dayton case that war
rants would at once be issued for the
arrest of all persons allowing slot ma
chimes to be operated in their places
of business, and that prosecutions
would be pushed as soon as alleged
ciolaters Of the law could be brought
into court. In future, he said, precau-
lions would be taken that there would
be no grounds for dismissals on techni-
calites, as it was important that some
decision should be reached regarding
whether or not slot machines could be
operated in the city.

Mysterious Note Found on Lake
JOhanna'S Shore.

The following note, written in a firm
business hand, was found on the shore
of Lake Johanna yesterday by George
Lorentz, living at SS1 Dayton avenue:
My name is John Murphy, from St.
Paul. Life is a burden. Will end my
life in Lake Johanna. Cannot work
Will find my satchel on a log on east
side of the lake. June 20, 1897
The note was turned over to the
police authorities, who are Of the be-
lief that it was written and left on the
lake shore by some practical joker
The boy who found the note did not
lcok for the satchel and as no one by
the name Of Murphy is reported as
missing, little credence is attached to
the theory of a possible suicide The
police, however, will institute a search
for the Satchel but will go no further
in the matter unless more tangible evil
dence of a drowning is discovered
