Irwin Chauvet, who, with another

question was raised by the defense in
the Chauvet case as to whether a COW

was classed as a house, thus making
the defense that person driving a
wagon OF prostitution about the coun-
section Of the statute prohibiting the
keeping of house of i'll fame. But
Judge Elwood squarely held that these
wagons came within the spirit and in

SNAP FOR a BUTCHER.

Sioux City Merchant Makes a Good
Thing Out of Armour.
Sioux City, Sept. 9.-John NJ. Ralya, q
humble Sioux City butcher, has got the
best of the great Armour concern to the
tune Of perhaps 100000, and all in an
entirely legitimate way.
Last spring a representative of the
Armours made a proposition to Ralya
to furnish him his entire supply of
fresh pork for the succeeding six
months at rate based on 81 cents for
loins, from which chops are cut, and
corresponding figures for other grades
Ralya accepted the proposition, and a
contract was drawn and signed. In this
contract there was no limit placed upon
the amount of fresh pork that would be
supplied to Ralya. In short time the
price Of the products for which Mr.. Raj
va had contracted commenced to rise.
Then Ralya commenced doing a jobbing
business in fresh pork, and for q time
his orders for this trade outside of his
own market were filed as fast as they
were sent in. But the prices kept boom
ing, and directly got up to such figure,
10 and IL cents a pound, that Armours
refused to fill the orders secured by Mr.
Ralya on the outside. AS the prices
mounted skyward, Ralya came to more
and more appreciate the snap he had
in his contract, and he became a con-
vert to expansion. Ralya has been able
to get orders for scores of carloads of
pork loins, ETC.. at a profit ranging in
the vicinity Of 500 per carload. The
statement is made that he is selling
subject to delivery, and every refusal
of the Armours to fill the orders is SIM
ply piling up the amount of his claim
which he will have against them for
breach of contract. These sales will
therefore be the measure of his claim,
and there are those who estimate the
aount of the profits at not less than
100000.
1t is reported that Armour sent a cou-
pie Of his best attorneys here to investi-
gate the Ralya contract, and that after
taking everything into consideration
| they advised him that the best that
could be done would be to fatty refuse
| to fill the orders under 1t, and trust to
the lawsuit by Ralya, whatever might
be the amount of damages he could Sc
