DECISION IN AN INSURANCE SUIT.

Waterloo, Iowa, Oct. 24.-Judge Lehman in the Dis
trct Court here has rendered important decision in
the case Of the State Protective Insurance Club by
j. c. Corey and others against the Citizens Mutual Fire
Insurance Company OF this city, which made an assign
ment some months ago. After the assignment the
assignee attempted to collect assessment upon the
makers Of the premium notes gwen for Insurance. The
state Protective Insurance Club organized TO resist
tho collection Of these assessments. Through their at
torneys demurrer was filed TO the OF the com.
pany in the case against them and II set up in the
demurrer that the company not organized, was
claimed under tho provisions OF the CODE Judge Len
ham sustained the demurrer The company then asked
leave to amend which was granted. The officers OF
the Protective Club say this eventually knocks the
company out and absolves the makers Of thu premium
notes from all liability. The company claims, how
ever that the decision only affects the question OF the
organization OF the company aud not the liability Of
the makers OF the notes.
