Mining Activity

During tAe past year there has been
more activity in mining in this section
than for many years psf. At the pres
ent time there are many claims located
near this city and several of them prom
Use big fortunes.
The sale of the copper claim held by
Barrett Il Kennedy last week put new
life into the prospectOrs and it is safe to
say that few claims will be jumped on
New Years. Most of the claims held in
this section are in the hands of poor men
and the work is necessarily slow.
Most of the mine owners have become
acquainted with the fact that a mere hole
in the ground don't invite capital and are
placing their property in a condition that
viii invite thorough inspection. By the
opening of spring a dozen or more claims
Of worth will he developed and it is safe
to say that parties holding claims with
ore in sight will have no difficulty in dis.

Of relatives of Police Officer Smiley

the siding waiting for the express to
pass and Winklepleck's horse took
fright at 1t and became unmanageable
In the endeavor to control the horse
the occupants Of the carriage did not
see the approaching express and were
struck with terrible force. The train
was running at the rate Of as miles an
hour to get start for the heavy grade
west OF town and there was scarcely
anything left Of the buggy. Winkle-
pleck was horribly mangled and the
girls neck was broken. Death in both
cases must have been instantan eous.

BOUND
By the Action of the Agent no
Matter What the Condi-
ton of the Insured.

In the case Of Frank Ewing against
the Prudential Insurance company, the
supreme court of Ohio has returned q
decision sustaining both the circuit
court and the court OF common pleas of
Stark county. The action was origin
ally begun in Justice Trails court in
Alliance, on policy issued to w. E..
Ewing, brother of Frank Ewing. The
insured had been sick all his life, of
which fact the agent was cognizant
when he received the application and
delivered the policy. A year later w
E. Ewing died, and action was
brought by his brother, Frank,
for the amount of the pol
icy, which the company refused
to pay. Attorney William M. Roach
represented the plaintiff, Ewing, and
J. w. Craine, the insurance company.
In Trails court the case was dismissed.
In common pleas court a verdict was
returned for Ewing. The case was then
taken successfully to the circuit and
supreme courts, both of which sustain
ed the decision OF the court of common
pleas. The point held by the plaintiffs
was that no matter what the condition
OF w E. Ewing, If the authorized agent
OF the insurance company delivered
him policy, knowing his condition
the insurance company was bound to
sOand by its contract.
