II has been called to the attention Of
this Grand Jury that there is at present
being conducted at Beowawe a game Of
roulette; that this game has been car
ried OH since about March 1. 1907; that
the parties conducting the same have
not taken out license as provided by
law, and we would ask that this mat
ter be thoroughly investigated, and
that the party conducting said game
without license be prosecuted to the
full extent Of the law.
We understand from the sworn
statement OF T. A. Burdick that a
roulette wheel was run in the Brown
Hotel on November 10. IL and l2. 1906.
and as there was no license issued for
roulette in November in this county.
we would recommend a thorough in.
vestigation OF this matter as to why the
Sheriff failed to collect license. and If
possible recover this license for the
county also prosecute the party running
said game without license.
In the sworn testimony OF Phil Paroni
before this Grand Jury he has admitted
that he has sold during the past year
whisky and liquors In his store in Eu.
reka in less quantities than one quart.
to-wit by the drink. Inasmuch as Mr..
Paroni has paid no retail liquor license
In this county during this time. we
recommend that action be at once
brought for the recovery OF such license.

tions made by them in their reports to
