Claimed That Mrs. Phinney Has
No Right
To title to Main Street Block
Court House News.

An interesting question of fact, is
raised in the case Of the Phoenix In
surance Company VS.. Maggie Meier,
now being heard by the Circuit Court.
Mrs. Meier was the owner of a sa-
loon at 527 S. Main st. The place was
destroyed by fire. She alleged that she
was insured in the Phoenix company
and demanded payment for her loss.
1t was refused. She filed an action
in Common Pleas Court and was given
Judgment for the full amount. The
case was appealed by the Company.
The circumstances are as follows:
Tho Gay of the fire the husband of
Mrs. Meier applied to Philip Book, the
local agent of the Phoenix Company
for a policy on the property. His ap-
plication was accepted. He claims
that this was at 11:15 in the morning.
The company alleges that it was at
2:30 in the afternoon. The fire occur
red at II: 80 standard time, or Is min
utes after the time, that Mrs. Meier
claims. her application was accepted.
The policy was to date from noon. 1t
is the company's contention that the
application for insurance was not made
until after the property had been de-
stiOycd. Mrs. Meier and her husband
both deny this. They say that Nj
Meier returned5 from the insurance
agents office to find the !, saloon in
flames There is no dispute as to the
time the fire occurIed. The whole ques-
tion is in the time the application was
made for the policy. Since the actor
was commenced Mrs. Meier has remOv-
ed to Paris.

"Batangas, 2. l.,
Dear Sir:-Your regiment, the 3Sth
Volunteer Infantry. formed part Of the
expeditionary brigade lately command
ed by the undersigned from the re-
organization of the brigade Jan. 12,
! until Feb. s. when it was dissolved, all
of its troops having by that time been
distributed to posts charged with the
pacitication of certain indicated ter
ritory adjacent thereto.
",Thc object of the column, to which
| it belonged, was the destruction or dis
persion of the enemy in part of the
provinces of Cavite and Lagana and
bas and the permanent occupation of
this territory by Z. S. troops. The
provinces named, save Tayabas, may
be said to have been the hot bed of the
insurrection and the location in which
the insurrection had it's origin. While
in the northern part of Luzon, the col
lapse of the rebellion through the Wig
orous action of our troops was on Jan.

organization in the territory mentioned
We're then still intact, in
deed, had been reinforced by
section from the north.
The hostility of its population, which
precluded the formation of the scout
and spy service, the lack of wagon
roads and of accurate maps, made the
task assigned to the brigade an ex-
tremcly arduous and difficult one, but
nevertheless 1t was practically COM
pleted in three weeks. This gratifying
result is in part due to the excellent
work of your regiment. 1t involved
long marches under tropical SUM-
The marches, mostly over the toughest
conceivable trails, and frequently in
terrupted by combats with the enemy
were performed on short allowance
of food, which most of the time had
to be carried on the persons of the
men. Those organizations which serv-
ed in the brigade through it's existence,
aggregated marches of some 26O miles,
exclusive of side trips and scouts.
"Your regiment participated in the
capture of Lipa, and the skirmishes in
cident thereto, ana the brilliant dash
to Rosario, also In the march to and
capture of Batangas, in which IT rem
dered excellent service. Muirs bat
talon of the regiment mounted the
difficult and well nigh impossible
mountain trails coming in on the ene-
my from the south and cutting off their
retreat from that direction. In the cap
ture of Taal and in the many difficult
scouts in the districts assigned to you
the regiment has shown emery,
dash and high state of efficiency and
has rendered excellent service.
