number of machines seized, it was
impossible to check Immediately

confiscated, such money would go
to the school funds of the local dis
trict.
The raids evidently came as COM
plete surprise to the owners of the
seized equipment, although similar
raid by federal, state and local Off
GERS was made last week in Living
ston.
Most of the machines, although
thoroughly concealed in out of the
way warehouses and garages, were
in operating condition. Parts and
components sufficient to assemble
dozens of other machines were also
found and taken by the officers.
Raids were conducted on ware
houses owned by H. B. Brinck, Jerry's
Distributing Co., and Humber Broth
ers Vending Machines Co.
Most of the machines had evident
ly been in storage since the decision
of the Montana Supreme Court hold
ing that mere possession of slot ma
chimes is illegal in this state. A fed
eral law prohibits interstate trans
portaton of gambling devices except
into states where gambling is legal.
