Slot Machines Paying Prizes Given
Death BLOW in Des Aloines.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. July l3.-Justice Duncan
of Dies Moines decided n case import
ant to the owners and operators of
slot machines. The decision was so
sweeping that it means the utter abol-
tion of the machine from the big gamb-
ling box where winnings in money
may be made to the apparently in
nocuous cigar machine that pays a
cigar for every nickel played with adj
ditional cigars for certain combinations
or numbers.
Justice Duncan in effect ruled that
any machine. even tho 1T pays u face
value return for money invested is
gambling proposition If it offers an OPP
portunity for return of more than
face value in merchandise or otherwise
over the amount invested by the pur-
chaser.
The decision came in the case of the
State VS.. the slot machine seized in the
cigar store of Jesse Hammond.
At the time the machines We're seized
Hammond had arranged so that one
scent cigar was given for every nickel
played. but also had schedule pre-
pared by which if the person playing
the machine secured certain combina-
tions of numbers more cigars would be
paid him. This was to furnish the in
centive to play the machine.
In the defense OF the case two points
cution in the presentation OF its evil
n n of 4 of
seizure. and the other was that the ele-
ment of loss having been removed that
the machines could not be termed
gambling devices: that to constitute
gambling device a machine must fur
nish opportunity for loss to the player
as we'll as for gain.
Justice Duncan overruled the defense
on both it's contentious. holding that
in a justice court action where juris
diction is final he could consider evil
dence running back for a year. and
that it was not necessary that the ele-
ment of loss be included with that of
gain to constitute Il gambling device.
The decision is a Knockout blow
for the slot machine men and de-
stroys their hope of being able to oper-
fnte machines where u return in trade
is guaranteed. They had expected a
favorable decision on this point, and
an adverse one as to the way of oper
nting the machines before Justice Iris
entered upon his crusade. Before that
| timetherewere 1nfwy cmfwyp mrfdl IN
time there We're all the elements of
chance. but after that there was a
guarantee of return in trade for ev-
! cry cent played.
Directly Judge Duncan ordered the
machines destroyed the defense inn
1nediately gave notice of appeal to the
A district court, and time was given for
4 fling of a stay bond.

only man who escaped from the COLI
sion with the B., c. r. II n passenger
alive several days ago when the wagon
OF masons was struck. is still uncon
sclous. He regains his senses To-. brief
periods and asks what is the matter
with him and what has happened to
him. He does not realize what caused
his sufferings.
One of the strange things in connec-
ton with the terrible accident Is the
condition OF the pocketbook carried by
Joseph Golinveaux. one of the victims.
One end of the book which was carried
in the hip pocket. is completely shred
ded as If 1t had been done with d pair
of scissors. Two bills in the book are
SO closely pressed to gether that they
resemble one bill while the body of the
man near the point of contact was not
as badly bruised as other portions. The
book is being kept In the safe of the

arrived here at 3 o'clock yesterday after

THE STATUS OF IMMIGRANTS
Experience of a Recent Arrival in
 Phoenix.

MT. A. D. TaytrO,a a gentleman who ar rived here from New orleans about ten days ago, called at this office yes terday to inquire about the status O. immigrants about which he was con- fused. He is a well-dressed business looking gentleman and has an account with one>of the city banks. The object of his coming was to go into some kind of business, real estate or grocery, pre-
 ferred. He had understood that the town was reaching out after a larger population of self-supporting scitlzens of whom he thought he would make one. He was very cordially received at the board of trade and by business men with whom he became acquainted. He put in a week about the legislative chambers, and visited other places of amusement and recreation with al! of which he was well pleased. MT. TaytrO has been in several towns and his Ob- servation is that all of them have two sides. the inside and the seamy. Hav- ing satisfied himself regarding the in- side of Phoenix he set out on Satur- day night to look at the seams and was naturally directed to the vicinity of Seventh and Jackson streets. He returned tO the city and then went
