INSURANCE COMMISSION.
Agent Sues For Fee On John Beck's
Life Policy

Late yesterday afternoon a jury was
empaneled before Judge Cherry to try
the suit of Willis J. Read against the
Union Central Life Insurance COM
pany. The plaintiff sues to recover ST.
500, the balance alleged to be due from
defendant for his commission upon a
life insurance policy written for John
in the complaint that Read, as agent
of the company, induced Mr.. Beck to
take out the large policy. but that later
defendant persuaded the insured to
consent, for a money consideration, to
the cancellation of the policy. The de-
Tense is that the commission of $500
paid to plaintiff was all that was owing
to him in the event that. for any rea-
son. the policy became void
Dey & Street represent the plaintiff
and Andrew Howat and ]. T. Richards
are counsel for the insurance company.

MRS. E. H. OSBORNE HURT.
Silver City Lady Falls Down {
Cellar.
(Special Correspondence.)

Silver City. Nov 17.-An accident hap
pened to Mrs. Z. II. Osborn of the Os-
born hotel, this place. this morning. which
for a time greatly alarmed her friends.
Mrs Osborn had occasion to go 10 the
cellar for something and carried in her
hand an unlighted lamp. As she descend
ed the stairs her shoe caught in a piece
of carpet and Mrs. Osborn was thrown
violently downstairs. She had presence
of mind enough to throw the lamp away
from her and thus doubtless escaped be-
ing badly cut. AS it was she was rem
dered unconscious and was threatened
with paralysis. DIR. ID. o. Miner of Rob-
inson was called and succeeded in re-
storing his patient to consciousness, and
bringing her out of danger. For a time
it appeared as if the woman's spinal cord
had been affected, as she acted like one
with meningitis.

New York Story Concerning South
ern Pacific Plans.
LINE ACROSS SALT LAKE
STATEMENT ATTRIBUTED TO
MANAGER FILLMORE.
Reported That Surveying Party Is
Running a Line From Near the
State Boundary to Cross the
North Arm of the Lake-Southern
Route More Feasible.
fspecial to The Heraldl

New York, Nov 17-General Man
ager Fillmore of the Southern Pacific
is quoted as saying that engineers are
now engaged in surveying a line for q
cutoff across the north arm of Salt
lake. 1t will leave the Central Pacific
near the Nevada line, and go straight
fifty miles shorter than the present
route, and avoid heavy grades.
There has been considerable discus
sion III times past regarding the posi-
bility of shortening the present route
of the Central Pacific by cutting off
from the main line at or near Wells,
New, building in a southeasterly di-
rection, skirting Salt lake on the south,
and entering this city on a line parallel
to the Garfield beach route BY fol-
lowing this route the heavy grades now
encountered between Tecoma, Nevada,
and Blue Creek, Utah, would be avoid
ed, and comparatively little difficulty
would attend the grading and track
laying on the proposed southern route;
and in addition the distance between
this city and Wells would be lesened
by many miles. Surveys for this route
are known to exist. and it is more than
probable that active construction work
will be begun in the near future.
The project telegraphed from New
York, though possible, is not practical.
None of the heavy grades that are now
encountered would be avoided, and in
addition the plan would -necessitate
the bridging of the northern arm of
the lake, or the use of boats to convey
the trains from the western to the
eastern shore and vice versa. 1t would
involve considerable outlay and loss
of time would invariably ensue despite
the fact that fifty miles of the distance
between Ogden and the Nevada state
line had been annihilated. 1t is doubt
full if there is sufficient depth of water
at the point where the proposed road
would touch the lake to permit the
use or operation of transports. and the
construction of bridge twenty miles
in length is preposterous.
