COUNTY ATTORNEY CALLS NOTICE
TO LAWS APPLYING TO DEVICES:
WILL CLOSE ALL SLOT MACHINES

Within the past few days various
complaints have been made 10 the
sheriff and county attorney. relative
to operation of slot machines. punch
boards, and other gambling devices.
There seems to be some apparent
belief that the operation OF these mach
ines is not in violation of law. in con-
tradiction of this belief the county at
torney calls attention to the following
laws
Laws Quotcu.
Section 4 of Chapter 35. session laws
of 1916 provides:
ANY person who sets up, operates,
or conducts, or who permits to be set
up operated or conducted, in or about
his place of business. whether as own
er, employee, or agent. any slot ma
chine for the purpose of having or al
lowing the same to be played by others
for money, property, checks, credits
or any representative OF value shall be
punished by fine of not less than
$25, nor more than 500, or by impris-
onment in the county jail for period
of not more than 80 days or by both
fine and Imprisonment"
Case Referred TO.
in the case of the state VS.. c.. A.
Johnson the above statute was under
consideration. the facts showed the
defendane operated a slot machine
which gave Il package Of gum at every
play, and AT times It would give from
two to twenty trade checks Of the value
or five cents each which might be
played back into the machine or ex'
changed for merchandise.
Beside this the machine inhcated be-
fore each play what the player would
get in other words, there were nc
blanks, and the player knew in ad
vance Of each play just what he would
get for his nicile.
Upon these facts the trial court al
rected a verdict for defendent, and the

says that those Who believe such ma
chimes are operated within the law

homa cases.
Want TO be Fair.
Owing to the apparent belief thai
these gaming devices are not in viola
ton OF the law, and the further fact
that the county attorney and sheriff
wish 20 be fair to all concerned, and
avoid all unnecessary hardshps, they
desire to take this method of informing
the public what the law is, and after
the first day OF November 1922, those
who persist in operating any of these
devices VIII do so at their peril, for
consistent effort is going TO be made
to enforce this law TO the letter.
This ruling applies to punch boards
as well as slot machines, before giving
this definite announcement We have
carefully investigated the law on the
matter, believe the law Is correct, anc

ing gross frauds" by making from
300 to $4,000 per cent gross profit
