GETS INSURANCE MONEY.
Interesting Point Decided In United
States Court at Atlanta.

Atlanta, January 19-After eight years
of litigation an important decision was
reached in the United States district court
here today affecting life insurance, a
verdict for $1,000. principal. and $500 in
terest being awarded Robert Robinson of
Atlanta against the Union Central Life
Insurance company of Cincinnati
The case was based on the following al
legations: Nine years ago Mr.. Robinson 5
father, Capt. William F. Robinson of
Eufaula. Ala, applied for 5000 policy in
the Union Central. The application was
accepted by the local agent of the COM
pany, the first insurance premium was
paid for In advance, and papers were
sent to the company. a receipt being
given Captain Robinson. Before the policy
was returned Captain Robinson died, and
the insurance company subsequently re-
fused to pay the claim, alleging the re-
ceipt issued by the company's agent was
not binding on the company.
The decision of the court establishes an
interesting legal precedent

NEGRO VICTORIOUS.
Cans Knocks Out Sullivan In the Elf.
teenth Round.

San Francisco, January 19.-Joe Cans,
rejuvenated, put up the fight of his life
and knocked out Mike Twin" Sullivan in
the fifteenth round tonight at Wood
wards pavilion The issue of the fight was
hardly in doubt from the first. From start
to finish Cans was the agressor, and kept
right on top of his man. Sullivan made
several brave rallies, but could not hurt
the colored man, and finally in the if
tenth round a series of lightning right
hand blows to the jaw ended Sullivan's
aspirations and put Cans once more at
the top of the fighting head The fight was
fast and furious from the start.
Cans kept within striking distance of
his man at all stages. Sullivan was clever
and game, but could not keep the ag-
gressive colored man away from him.
Cans left eve was cut early in the fight,
and Sullivan kept playing for it, but at
no other time did he have the Baltimore
man in distress
