REEFS GETS INTO
CHECK PAYMENT
Stops Payment After Putting
Up Paper to Secure $1,000
Gambling Loss.

Lon Rees, the Brigham City stock
man. lost $1,000 on a gambling game in
the house Of ]. F. Smith & Co, in Og-
den, and through a misunderstanding
between him and the proprietors of the
gambling house tied up the payment OF
a check for 1896 for several hours the
following day.
Rees received the check in payment
for some horses sold to P. j. Moran
He Immediately went TO Ogden, and
finally became engaged in a gambling
game in the place operated by Smith
& Co. Rees bought $1,000 worth of
chips and offered the check received
from Moran in payment The check
was held as security for the payment
of the chips.
Rees lost his s.. 900 and left the place
The next morning one of the prOprie-
tors OF the gambling house hurried to
Salt Lake TO get the check cashed He
said that he feared that because the
money had been lost on a gambling
transaction that Rees might stop pay
ment on the check The check was
drawn by Mr.. Moran on Walker Broth
ers' bank. and made payable to Lon
Reese" The endorsement by Mr.. Rees
lacked the final ''e" that was in the
name as written on the face OF the
check. For that reason the bank de-
clined to cash the check until some one
could be found who could identify the
signature of the endorser. The gambler
then left the bank to find some one who
might identify the signature.
In the meantime Rees telephOned to
have payment on the check stopped
He feared that the gambling house
might withhold the entire value of the
check. when, as a matter of fact, the
prOprietOTs were only seeking TO make
sure of their winnings. A complicated
situation arose when the check was
tied up, as neither party could secure
the money. 1t finally became known
that the trouble in each case was due
10 a misunderstanding and the tangle
was Strengthened out when Rees re-
leased the check and was paiG the diff
ference between its face and the 81 ,00G
