PAPER OF NYE COUNTY.

A peculiar decision was recently
rendered by the United States Supreme
Court. 1t holds that money lost in a
gambling house may be recovered by
the loser or his wife, in a suit against
the wne of the property where such
owner has knowledge hat the building
is used for gambling purposes.
The question arose in an action
brought to test the constitutionality of
a statute of the State of Ohio against
gambling. The decision was written
by Justice Peckham, who held that
property owners must know the pur-
poses for which they let their premises.
1t seems that one William Marvin,
owned a builing in Findlay, Ohio, that
he rented to persons who conducted a
gambling resort there. Frank H.
Trout of that city was a f~requenter of
the place and lost large sums of money
there. Trout's wife brought suit and
obtained judgment. Marvin appealed,
finally to the Supreme Court of the
United States with the result that
judgment went against him.
While this decision primarily simply
uphOlds the constitutionality of a spe-
cial statute Of the State of Ohio, gen
orally it is very far reaching, as in eff
feet it places upon owners renting prop
erty the responsibility for damages re-
sulting to third persons through the
use of their property for unlawful or
immoral purposes.
