NIECE AND MOTHER
CLAIM BENEFIT MONEY
Druids Want to Deposit Money Due on
Policy With the Court.

Judge Jaggard yesterday heard ar
guments in the case of Anna Norman
against the grand grove of the Ancient
Order of United Druids in which the
defendant made application to the
court to be permitted to pay to the
clerk of courts the beneficial sum of
81. 900 pending the decision of the court
as to the proper person to whom the
benefit should be paid. Judge Jag
gard took the case under Amusement.
The grand grove, through its counsel,
said it did not raise any question of
the orders liability. but as there
were two claimants for the money, 1t
thought the court should settle upon
the rightful owner and not compel the
order to litigate the case. The certif-
icate of the order was issued to John
Norman, who made his niece, Anna
Norman, the beneficiary. The laws OF
the order, however, provide that the
beneficial sum shall be paid only to
the widow, children, father, mother
sister or brother of the deceased or to
the subordinate lodge.
1t is believed that Norman's mother
now living in Sweden, is entitled to
the benefit, and not the niece. The fact
that the name of the niece was written
In the certificate. 1t was commended did
not change the application of the law.

Testimonial of the Bench.

TN the death of Judge Flandrau the
bar of this county and of the state
and the entire community. sIaYe sus-
tanned great: loss. ss1z
His character. and attachments
have been so clearly and Justly set
forth in the memorial presented and
In the addresses made upon this occa-
sion that 1t is not necessary for me to
add anything
But l wish to say a word Of Judge
F1aEdrau in court. For many years he
was the trial lawyer In jury cases of
the great legal firm of which he was a
member. and he was also much before
the court upon the equity side He rep
resented what might be called the un-
popular side in, many cases before a
jury.
His observation-disclosures in presenting
his case and his never-failing courtesy,
added to his knowledge and his lucid
fty, made his presence in court a de-
light to the judges, and to the jury and
opposing counsel as WELL
There was no pettifogging or sharp
practice in any case with which he was
connected. He did not seek to win
upon technicalities. He tried his cases
upon the merits. He did not attempt to
influence the jury by appealing to their
passions or prejudices. but he presented
his case so clearly and forcibly. with
such a spirit of fairness and in such an
agreeable manner. that he won the jury
to his way of thinking in many a case
where another equally as good a lawyer
would have failed. He was careful of
the interests of his clients and enforc-
ed his views upon the court with
| earnestness and zeal. but he never ex-
hibited asperity when the court differed
from hin-he was complete master of
himself as well as of his case and he
was the same courteous gentleman in
defeat as in victory.
''The court heartily concurs in the
conmendatory and appreciative ex-
pressions to which you have given ut
terance.
'"The motion made will be granted.
The memorial presented will be spread
upon the minutes and a COPY transmit
ted to the family of our deceased
brother, and the court will now ad-
| journ."
