As many Hebrews are speculators, they
may see what one of their rabbis said here
yesterday on corners in grain, etc.: "Cor-
ners and futures under the ancient Hebraic
law, would have been altogether illegal.
Under the Talmudic law they would be
treated as ordinary gambling, and those
who engaged in them would be disqualified
from acting as judges, or even testifying
as witnesses. Even the clerks would be
subject to fines. Those laws have ceased
to have practical value, but their ethical
teachings are still source of religious
light" He said he had no unlimited
confidence in the good to be accomplished
by legislative enactmsnts from his ex-
perience with such laws or other lines of
moral endeavor. Still, the people were
bound to do their utmost to check the
growing evil, and law stamping it as H.
legal would do good, and aid in its sup
preston.

We mentioned last week that Messrs:
Greever d Houghton, who are extensively
engaged in the cattle business, with head
quarters at this point had sold S47 500
worth OF cattle to Gillespie & Co., of Kan
sas City, through Joseph Hale, one of the
hrm, as he wasIrepresented here. This week
we have few words more on the subject.
When Hale contracted. for the cattle he
agreed to pay $4,000 down to bind the bar
gain and specified that $40 head head of
the cattle should be driven at once to Har-
per and shipped to Kansas City, when the
balance of the money would be paid. This
was agreed 10, and he gave check for the
money on his house in Kansas City The
cattle were driven to Harper and the check
placed in the Medicine Valley bank at this
place for collection. When it was sent to
the Bank of Kansas City for collection
ttat institution presented it to Gillespie &
Co., but they refused to pay it, so 1t was
returned here prote. ted. In other words
they went square back on the contract of
one Of the firm, who had been sent out to
purchase cattle for them. The reason for
this back-out is easily explained: The
markets had dropped. and rather than run
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1882-08-04

any risks they preferred resortme to a
trick which was clear breach of contract
They cared nothing for the Inconvenience
caused to Greeyer & Houghton, who had
driven $40 cattle more than "a miles. only
to nnd that they had been dealing with a
lot OF sharpers who never let an 6ppor-
tunit5 pass TO get the best of any one with
whom they have dealings. Suppose the
pr ces had advanced and Greever & Hough-
ton had concluded to hold their cattle and
declare the contract off? A damage suit
would have followed, certain. 1t would
seem that Greever & Houghton should in
ject small amount of experience into
this Kansas City house. They would be
backed by this community and would re-
ceive the thanks of every cattle man in the
country.
If MIR: Hale is one Of the firm of Giles
pie q Co., as he was represented here,
their action is dirty piece of business,
unworthy of any responsible house, and
should be so treated by every one with
whom they may seek to have any trans
actions. On the other hand the blame falls
on Mr.. Hale and the losses on Greever &
Houghton.
Such business as this causes distrust in
the minds of cattle men, and responsible
houses and reliable buyers suffer for such
work.
