A New Point in Insurance..

The ingenuity of some insurance
companies in devising ways and means
for cvading responsibility is equaled by
nothing on earth. A claim was recent
~ made against an accident insurance
company for indemnity by physician
who had met with an injury in q very
peculiar fashion. He had been Ill as
the result Of an accident received some
time previous, but was partly recov-
cred. While driving he was seized with
q spasm and great exhaustion over
came him. He stopped his horse and
proceeded to administer hypodermic
injection : some powerful stimulant
to which he resorted in such emergen-
cies. Just as he was about to insert
the needle his horse started. The needle
was drive deep into the flesh, indict-
ing severe and painful injury. He
sued for indemnity, he being disabled
for twenty-five weeks. The judge dis
missed the complaint on the ground
that the injury was not caused through
external violent and accidental means
in the intent and purpose Of the policy.
This decision will strike the average
thinking individual as somewhat pc
culiar. II mishai due to the sudden
starting Of horse S not an accident. it
might be interesting to know how the
word could be defined.
