the shipment of consignment

The shipment isn't a very large
one, being only 1000 tons, but it
indicates all interesting situation

The grand jury closed its work
Saturday, and among other
things found that gambling de-
wees exist in Duluth and that
lin almost every cigar store and
saloon in the city will be found
slot machines and other games
OF chance. which are no mo1e
than mere gambling devices and
we would recommend that the

tions regarding their removal"
Regarding the recent selling
OF personal tax judgment to N.
S. Bruner by the county board
the grand jury reports that in
vestigated the matter, and adds:
while the commissioners were
acting for the county's benefit,
we criticise the method, and
would suggest that sales of any
kind by public officials should be
advertised"
In speaking of the investiga-
ton of Virginla's municipal mat.
ters, the ~jury reports that it
found that the city recently pur-
chased 1000 feet of hose without
advertising for bids, as is custo !
mary and proper; and 1t was al.
50 found that gambling is openly
carried on in the city with the
consent of the city officials. It
was also found that the system
of bookkeeping used Very1
doubtful and the jury recon-
mends that the books be audited 4
The grand jury recommended
that magistrates instead of bind

dispose of the cases and thereby
save expense.
