An Important Decision

The Supreme court of Iowa handed
down very important de ,ision in the
case of Elizabeth Q. Herring VS. the
Amnrican Insurance Co., appealed
from the Howard county district
court on Monday last.
The suit was one brought for recov.
cry Of insurance claimed to be held in
the company by Mrs. Herring on prop
erty destroyed in the Riceville fire.
There had been no policy issued,
although there was no dispute as to
an application having been made.
The plaintiff claimed that Vance, the
Riceville agent Of the company, had
been notified that the risk was accept
ed and so relied, although no policy
was delivered. The company denied
any acceptance, but the jury in dis
trictcourt decided that the acceptance
had been made. and that contract
existed In the minds of both parties,
even though no policy had issued.
The Supreme court has sustained this
finding.
The case is quite notable as it is the
first insurance case of its kind to be
In the Iowa supreme court, and estab.
fishes the fact that the issuance Of q
policy is not in all cases necessary to
complete contract of insurance.
John McCook was the attorney for
Mrs. Herring, and Q. @. Upton and
A. ]. Barker cared for the interests
of the insurance company.

tirmation was read by Rev. G.. Graf,

and Rev. Graening, of Monona, Ia.

ference elected as its president Rev.

SuLIipan Lost Fairly

Washington Boxer Failed to Show improve

Cans, But Made Fine FIGHT

Kid Sullivan fairly lost to Tommy DAILY
I'm fifteen rounds in Baltimore last night.
Not even the most enthusiastic OF Sui
livau's friends could claim that the de-
cision was not fair. The Washington
boy received the greater amount of ef-
fective punishment, he was outboxed,
and In the twelfth round was Knocked
fat Cor the count of nine. IL was more
good luck than good fortune that the
Washington boy was not knocked com
pletely out, for the blow had him dazed,
and il was only his great strength and
recuperative ability that saved him.
A Surprise.
In many ways the night was both a
surprise and a disappointment. Sullivan
was so popular that about 800 Washing

from such master OF the art as the
lightweight champion, but instead, IL is

last winter when he got the decision
over the same opponent he faced last
night. All OF his old faults were there

ceived does not appear TO have correct

Blows Lacked Force.
Sullivan's blows lacked force and
were slow in starting. On only three
OF four occasions In the entire night did
he display any speed, and that was in

rights and lefts. These flashes produced
nothing of Importance, and Daily had
