DECISION ON GOLD CONTRACTS.
DIan Cannot Agree Lawfully to Fay in Any
thing but Legal Tender.

thing hut Legal Tender.
OMAHA, April 1s.-Thc question Of the
legality Of what are known as gold coin
contracts" was raised for the fist time in
this county yesterday. IL came up in the
case Of Chase against Wrcn. an action to
collect payment of q e. 600 mortgage note
on which default In interest had oc.
Cured. The attorney for the defense
raised the point in the district court as to
the effect Of inserting In a note or con.
tract the words ito pay in gold coin," or
tho words ito pay In gold coin or its
equivalent" and argued that in either
form the note would be Illegal, being in
violation Of the legal tender law, and con-
trnry'to public policy.
1t was further argued by the defense
that II not voiding and invalidating the
note entirely the section requiring pay
mcnt in gold was void. During the argu-
mcnt the court said 1t would not enforce
that part of tho note contracting to pay
In gold. and that IL it came to a question
Of holding that the note was payable in
gold coin or that the contract was illegal
and void, the court would hold that 10 was
iAcgal and void.
