yesterday brought suit against the
Union Life Insurance company of

| should not provide against his employ
| ment as miner. However, when it
was made out it did provide that the
| policy was void in case of death
| through a mine accident and he re-
| fused to accept it and sued for the re-
| covery of his note, which the insur-
ance company resisted. The suit was
| pending in court when Waller was
! killed in mine.

PENDANTS agent, for $1,000, payable to
Hannah Waller, and in the event of
her death then payable to the estate.

of the first annual premium, and on
May 90 1898, the policy was issued.

brought a suit in a justice court
against Waller on the note and secured
