A PECULIAR SUIT.
Court Held That Gambling Was Always
an Offense Under the Law.

an Offense Under the Law.
Great Falls, Feb. IA peculiar civil
suit is that brought by Il. NJ. Burris
against j. A. Collins to recover the sum
of $40 on a check. 1t was decided to-
night in favor of the defendant. The
facts of the case. as shown by the tes-
timony, seem to be that the defendant
was a player in game of cards for
money in the Brunswick saloon, where
at the time tie gambling was under
the charge of the plaintiff. During the
progress of the game a number of
drinks were ordered and consumed by
the defendant and others. and at the
end of the game the defendant gave
his check for $40. The plaintiff claimed
that the check was given, first, for a
bar bill of $780, then for $50 in payment
for the use of the table and cards, then
for $50 loaned to a party TO the game,
whose account the defendant guaran-
teed, and finally for $50, which the
same party owed to the plaintiff.
The case occupied the court of JUS
tice Burleigh for the greater part Of
yesterday afternoon and this morning.
The plaintiff claimed that the uncon-
stitutionality of the law of 1926 rem
dered the debt a legal one. The de-
PENDANT held that gambling was always
an offense under the common law and
therefore gambling debt was always
an illegal one. The latter view was also
taken by the court.

CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE ruction in wheat
that threw the pit into fits In the last
hour of yesterdays session and was con-
tinued on the curb afterwards was re-
newed to-day before the regular session
commenced. First curb prices were 1i4c
higher, and during the half hour that fol-
lowed it sold as high as 81 .01A.
The regular opening was as wild one
as has been witnessed in months. A per-
feet howl went up from the shorts who
in their eagerness to cover their lines bid
all the way from 81 .05 to 81 06 for May
and few seconds after some of the more
anxious ones bid 81 06la That proved to
be the high point of the day. Thousands
of bushels Were dumped on the market
by longs, wheat coming from operators
who have hitherto chosen To hold on to
their lines, and more disposition to realize
being shown than at any time since the
recent advance commenced The conse-
quence was that the price broke with be-
wildering rapdity, getting down in less
than five minutes to Sl.03I9. Then it re-
bounded again. but with less force be-
hind IL, to 81 .04iA. The market tiuctuated
rapidly for a time. but renewed realizing
occurred at every rally and the market
gradually became more settled.
Though the disquieting news from Ha-
yana may have cut some figure In the
jump. ii was minor factor and was lit
tie heard of. II was apparently repeti-
ton OF yesterday among shorts over the
Letter deal, and everybody was on the
alert 10 see what he would do to-day But
Letters brokers were not much in evil
dence, and the fact that there was plenty
of wheat for sale at around .05 served
to keep the market within bounds.

heavy and the low point Sl.03 was reach

selling orders. This decline was followed
by the reaction to 81 04s4 the price about
noon. For the rest of the session prices
rather tended toward lower level.
Foreign markets were strong and
showed a good closing advance. North

ceived 1872 cars 10 of contract grade. At
lantie port clearances of wheat and -four

receipts were 49, 900 bushels against 222 900
bushels a year ago.
There was a heavy business in July,
but that option did not show the excite
ment May did July opened 1i.e higher
at 90nsl1ac, and dropped to s9c. That was
the range of prices July closed al 9Oc

In view of the wheat strength corn did
not act strong and the volume of trad
ing was smaller. The market opened
higher and acted rather weak thereafter.
The opening in oats was gong, but
the advance brought out pront-taking
and also induced some short selling and
prices declined
There was a good trade In provisions
There was proft-taking early. This and
the lower hog market caused some de-

New York, Feb. 1.-THE May wheat
shorts were badly squeezed again this
morning, although the process did not
last long. In fact. 1t was over in the first
half hour. leaving prices for the balance
of the day rather weak and much unset
tied.
Opening figures on May were 81 .0i7s re-
speeding &c advance over last night 1T sold
up to 81 .02A. where heavy selling orders
were met with. partly for clique account
resulting in lie break. The bulge was en-
tirely due to clique operations In Chicago
where prices were forced up to 81 .o6H for
May against 81 .03A last night b1aking
from there to 81 Oh under realizing deals
Sensational rumors from Havana had
little effect on the market. Traders here
conversant with clique affairs say the end
is not yet. May here closed at 81 .07h.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE most imper-
tant factor i'm connection with to-day's
stock market was that the heavy liquida-
ton of yesterday was not resumed. There
was aggressive pressure by the bears at
times, but they refrained from leaving
their contracts open and their covering
at the close brought prices near to the
high level of the day. Gains resulted.

Quotations received this morning from

there substantially above the close of the
prices here last night but that simply
meant that the declines had not
yet fully reached yesterday after

don exchange had closed. The declines III

opening on liquidating sales through COM
mission houses. Support was forthcoming
before these fell TO last nights close and
the market rallied, but fell to the lowest
before noon on the disquieting report en-
anating from Key West that evidence had
been secured to show that the Maine had
been sunk by torpedo exploded outside
the ship.
The selling on this report was quite
large and the level of prices was carried
substantially below last nights close, but
the subsequent rally indicated that these
sales were largely by bears who We're
not sure of their position. In fact the
whole days market reflected doubtful
frame of mind on the part of the specula-
tive public and a disposition to pursue
waiting policy. Some degree of speculative
interest was doubtless diverted to the
wheat market.
Yesterdays increase in the Burlington
dividend rate and the final steps toward
the purchase of the Kansas Pacific by the
Union Pacific reorganization committee,
which was quite lost sight of yesterday,
had a favorable effect to-day. There was
large buying to-day of Oregon Short Line
and Oregon Navigation which was not
explained by any definite news announce
ment. The doubtful condition of the spec
ulative mind was reflected in periods of
intense dullness during the day.
The bond market showed weakness in

higher than last night. Total sales, s.. 500
