Considerable rain fell last night
and today, but on account of the
ground being so very dry it abb
sorbed the water almost as fast
as it fell. The rain as yet has
had little effect with reference to
swelling the creeks and smaller
streams. However, the rain has
been of untold good to many Sec
tons throughout the country.
The long continued drought had
reached serious proportions in
this and adjoining States.

INSURANCE CASE REVERSED.


Supreme Court Orders New Trial IN
the Case Of Thompson VS.. Travellers
Insurance Company. ~
The supreme court has again re-
versed the district court OF Barnes
county, Judge Glaspell, in the case of
Mary V. Thompson, against the Tray
elers Insurance company, ordering the
case back for a new trial. This case
was a suit brought by Mrs, Thompson
for $4,000 on a life insurance policy
issued by the Travellers, payment Of
which, was resisted by the company.
The policy contained the following
stipulation:
"This policy shall not take effect
unless the first premium is actually
paid while the assured is in good
health" and the company alleged that
the assured was not in good health
when the first premium was paid. but
was then suffering from a disease
from which he subsequently died. The
case has ben twice tried in the dis
trict court and the plaintiff has twice
had judgment, and each time the case
has been appealed. Reversal this
time is made on prejudicial error in
the admission of testimony to the effect
that the company kept and made no
offer to return the premium paid
This, the supreme court says, should
not have been admitted under the cir
cumstances. The syllabus is as fol-
lows: -,
i. The life insurance policy upon
which this action is brought contained
this condition: "This policy shall not
take effect unless the first premium is
actually paid while the assured Is in
