-QUITE novel law suit was re-
Gently tried and decided in Shreveport
the affair being about gambling debt,
being incurred in game of cards be-
tween Nathan Meyer and Ben Land
man. Meyer is we'll known here:
About two weeks ago a suit of gen.
eral interest to parties lending or bor-
rowing money to liquidate gambling
obligations, was tried before S. L.
Taylor, Judge of the Civil District
Court, in which Ben Landman was
plaintiff and N. Mayer defendant
The case was ably represented by
counsel, and, being novel, attracted
considerable attention ia this section.
The contest arose over money loaned
by Landman to Mayer to pay his loss
es to the banker of a poker game in
1884, while admitting that he had re-
ceived number of chips from Land
man representing money, with which
he settled his losses to tue cashier of
the game. Mayer refused to pay
Landman, on the grounds that the
debt was unearned in gambling.
The question arose, can money
loaned to pay gambling debt, to the
knowledge of the lender, be recovered
at law? Judge Taylors opinion in
this case was filed to day. After ex-
aiming the testimony and the law
bearing on gambling, and on obliga-
tons declared unlawful, he said: This
is no suit to recover money won at
cards or advanced to pay losses at
cards. 1t is brought upon new and
distinctive agreement arising after the
act prohibited was done, and based
upon perfectly lawful contract-to-
vita loan of money. That the loan
was made for the purpose Of settling a
previous illegal contract to the knowl-
edge of the lender does not affect his
right to recover. A loan of money
like sale of furniture is a perfectly
lawful transaction. If the borrower
or buyer applies the thing lent or sold
to an immoral purpose the legal right
of the lender or seller is not affected
bv the receivers use to which it may
be put, although he may be aware OF
such intended use before the loan or
sale is made. Judgment for plaintiff.
The sum being $3.50 with legal in
terest.
The Presidents message is being
complimented on all SIDES. Even the
country editors are pleased with it, |
and are writing words of commenda-
ton in its favor. It was rather long,
to be sure, but when a level-headed
President like Grover Cleveland seats
himself to write, he always says that
which is true and sensible. Among
our country cousins who have let them
selves out on the document is editor
Jastremski, who says:
The Presidents message is we'll
written document, covering nearly
twelve columns of space, solid matter.
His views appear to be the same as
expressed in his message, year ago.
In view of the increasing and unnec-
easary surplus of national income, he
recommends revision of the tariff to
the end that the cost of the necessa-
ries of life may be cheapened. He
favors the erection of coast defences,
and again advises the suspension of
silver coinage. He favors the enlarge
ment Of the labor bureau by adding
the power Of arbitration in cases Of
differences between employer and en-
ployed.
