INTERESTING DECISION.

A Jury says Insurance for Person OF I'm.
sound Mind Can lie Maintained.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Feb. IA Jury
in Judge Slover's court gave Mrs.
Johanna Esther James, widow of Mil
ton James, Judgment for 81, 500 against
the Mutual Reserve Fund Life associa.
ton Mrs James sued on the $1,000
policy held by her late husband. The
claim was resisted on the ground that
the premiums had not been paid,
which the attorneys for the plaintiff
met by proving that the insurance
company had refused to accept the
premiums when rendered. Mr.. james
was an inmate of the Nevada asylum
for the insane at the time the tender
was refused, and the case naturally
hinged on whether insurance for a
person of unsound mind could be main
tanned The jury thought that IL
could, and found for the plaintiff in
the full amount demanded.
