Opinion Handed Down In Slonx
City Insurance Case
Decision Involves Payment Of
$4,000 by Members
Justice Assumes jurisdiction In
Suit Instituted by Iowa MerCh-
ants Mutual COMPANY

Sioux City, Ia, Sept %.
Justice Of the Peace +. L. Fer
ris has handed down an opinion
which involves $4,000 and
which compels the policyhold-
ers Of the defunct Iowa Merch-
ants Mutual Insurance company
to stand for the assessment
equal to the amounts Of the
premium notes which they
hold. An adverse decision in
the case would have invalidated
every judgment.
In 1903 the insurance COM
pany was placed in the hands
of a receiver. A. A. Smith,
who, in winding up its affairs
and to pay the Indebtedness,
found it necessary to levy a so
per cent assessment on all the
premium notes, by order Of the
district court. A number re-
fused to pay and 300 suits were
instituted in the justice courts
of Justices Ferris and Stafford
of this city.
Policy owners in various
parts of the state, who were
made defendants. EMPLOYED at
torneys and prepared to contest
the cases. 1t was finally de-
cided to make two test cases
and abide by the outcome. The
contention of the defendants
was that the justice had no
jurisdiction, as the defendants
were non-residents.
Justice Ferris holds that he
has jurisdiction, because the
original note, or contract, is
payable in Sioux City and the
assessment is a portion of the
original contract required by
The district court for the pay
ment of debts, for which each
policyholder is liable to the
amount of his premium note.
A second ruling was that each
member is liable in an amount
not to exceed the value of his
premium note.
