Judgment for Mrs. Wynn.

One of the cases disposed of during
the closing hours of the May term of
the circuit court was that of Mrs.
Hannah M. Wynn VS.. the Union Life
Insurance company. Judge Gest en-
tering judgment for 81, 900 and inter-
est against the company in accordance
with the verdict of the jury that tried
the case. Mrs. Wynn's husband lost
his life in the Cripple Creek fire. He
was insured for 81, 600 in the Union
Life. The company refused payment
on the; policy on the grounds that it
was not paid up to date at the time of
his death. Mrs. Wynn had in Der
possession receipts showing that the
policy had been paid up, her husband
having given his note in payment
thereof, and which, in overriding the
motion for a new trial applied for bv
the company, the court held was sufli-
cient evidence to prove the justice OF
the plaintiffs claim.
