wARRING GAS FACTIONS
Who Want to Furnish Light for
All.

There promises to be pretty lively
fight in the courts between the United
States Electric Lighting company and
the st. Paul Gaslight company. Pa
pers in the suit were filed yesterday.
The difficulty arose out of con-
tract entered into by the st. Paul
Gas Light company and the United
States Electric Lighting company, in
November, 1876. by which the former
concern agreed to use nothing but the
"United States SYSTEM of incandeScent
lighting, and 81 ,500changed hands on the
strength Of the agreement. The COM
plant filed by the United States icom-
pany and the st. Paul Electric Light
and Power company, which was also a
party to the agreement, as the agent of
the former company, alleges that the
Gas Light company is about to adopt
the Westinghouse system, in violation
of the agreement, and they ask for an
Injunction restraining the Gas Light
company, and sue for $4,000 besides.

MUST PAY THE POLICY.
Suicide Does Not Nullify q Con-
tract.
FORGER KERR'S WIDOW
Wages a Successful Warfare Against
an Insurance Com :
pany. =

On the Goth of April, 1884, Robert w.
Kerr became member of the Minne-
sofa Mutual Benefit association. and.
took out policy in this association in
his wife's name. The policy provided
that "if the assured shall die In, or in
consequence of the violation of any.
criminal law of any country, state or
territory in which the assured may be,
this certificate shall be null and void"
In July, 1885, Kerr, in order to avoid
arrest for forgery, fled into Canadas
where he was afterwards apprehended
by detectives, and, in order to avoid be-
ing brought back for trial to Minnesota,
shot and killed himself. Itappears that
the criminal code of Canada forbade self
murder. and that this suicide was viola
ton thereof. Sarah E. Kerr, the widow,
brought suit to recover the amount
of the policy, the association
refusing to pay the same on the
ground that the provisions of the policy
had been violated. The court held that
Kerr's death in Canada could not be
treated as the prOXimate result OF his
crime in Minnesota, and the fact of his
suicide was not IN itself to be construed
as occurring or growing out of viola
ton of law within the meaning of the
policy. and that therefore the plaintiff,
Sarah E. Kerr, was entitled to recover
the sum of $3.50 with interest from the
commencement of the action. The fol-
lowing is the title and syllabus OF the
case:
Sarah E. Kerr VS.. Minnesota Mutual
Benefit Association.
SyllabuS--A policy of insurance pro-
vided that if the assured shall die IN
consequence of the violation OF any
criminal law of any country. state or
terri DRY in which the assured may be,
this certificate shall be null and void.
Held, that suicide, committed by an
alleged fugitive from justice, to avoid
arrest and trial for a crime committed
by the assured, is not to be considered
as the proXimate result of the alleged
crime, and that his death by suicide Is
not, within the proper meaning OF the
policy, to be considered as the VIC
iation of law therein referred
to. Suicide is no defense to an
action on a policy issued for the
benefit of a third person, where there
is no stipulation to that effect in the
policy. Under the contract of insur-
ance set forth in the opinion, held, that
the defendant association were liable
absolutely to pay the plalntlff, VINO IS
the beneficiary of the assured, sum
equal to Sl.5O for each certificate OF in
surance in force when the insurance
money became due, according to the
terms OF the policy or certificate of in
surance herein, and ratable proper
ton with other policies out of any
moneys in the assessment fund appll-
cable to such claims.

Indians and the Politician.

One band of twenty-four families, &C
cording to the Sherman-Harney treaty,
gave up all their tribal relations, left
their homes and their neighbors, and
went off some years ago and settled on
, land given them by the Government,
on the understanding that farmer, q
blacksmith, carpenter, and school
master should be sent out to teach them
how to settle themselves after the
fashion of "white folks" and that they
should be allowed to vote. It was for
this last privilege, "for," as their chief
said, "the right to be men," that they
were willing to start afresh. No car
penter, blacksmith, farmer or teacher
came to them, and they suffered good
deal of hardship, but they were allowed
to vote. There were about thirty of
them of the right age, and when the
time for the first election came round q
rich but rascally man was put up for
Sheriff. He thought these thirty votes
worth buying, so he loaded his wagon
with cheap -four and drove over to their
huts and said to them: II know you
have had hard time this year. and I've
lot of -four, so here's helping hand;
next year, perhaps, it will be easier,
and the -four was unloaded in front of
the huts. The Indians we're touched
and grateful; it was, indeed, "a helping
hand" for they were in sore need.
Just as he was driving away he turned
and said: "You know the elections are
next week. "I'm going to run for
Sheriff, and perhaps you-I see, you
understand" and he drove off, leaving
q silent circle of astonished Indians.
At the end of half mile he heard some
one behind him, and Black Lightning
overlook him with: "Look here, come
back!' which he did, thinking they
wanted ITO talk it over" As his wagon
drew up in front of the principal tent.
the Indians seized the barrels and
loaded them into the wagon, and all
their speech was: "Now, begone, we
will vote as we pleased" = Boston
Post
