One matter that phases the news.

Buffalo county also, is the fact that
the retirement of Secretary of State
Houser adds zest and opinion to the
Mondovi Herald, the paper he has Sc

writer's on the country press in Wiscon-

the plain and forcible expressions from
the Houser pen.

Van Wyck's Suit for $9,229 Decided
Against Him.

BALTIMORE, January 24.-Stephen Van
Wyck, New York clubman and lawyer
has lost his suit for $922925, which he
professed to have lent to the late Harry
Vonderhost, who once owned the Oriole
Base Ball Club. The case had been on
trial for several days. but the jury prompt
ly decided that the notes on which the suit
was brought had been given for a gambling
debt and need therefore not be paid Mr.
Van Wyck who was the only witness for
the plaintiff asserted that he wars not
present when the losses We're incurred, but
lent to Vonderhorst the money because
of the friendship between them.
Judge Morris instructions to the jury
were practically to the following effect:
If a man CANDLES in the presence of an
other and the latter furnishes him the
money with which to play he cannot re-
cover. If a note is given for gambling
losses incurred in this way payment on
that note cannot be enforced. If, however
loser goes to a friend and asks a loan
with which to pay gambling losses, notes
given to secure payment of money lent
under such circumstances are good.
