COURT DEFINES CYCLONE
Maryland Casualty Company Wins 3
Famous Case After Hard Eiaht.

famous Ease Artef fafd Fight.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. 1~4.-Accordfng
to a special dispatch to the American
from Washington, the MARYLAND
Casualty company has finally won it's
celebrated cyclone case,
The case in question has been a hard
fought one. The firm which brought
the suit is in the wholesale dry goods
business. 1t was insured in the Mary
land Casualty company against damage
from their sprinkling system. In the
policy was q clause which relieved the
casualty company from liability in case
of damage to he system from cyclone.
On August 20, 1904, a storm injured the
compahy's property, and suit was
brought against the casualty
which commended that the storm was a
cyclone. and thereby freed it from liza
bility. In the lower court the firm re-
ceived a verdict for the amount in
yolved, over $25. 600. The casualty COM
pany contended that the ordinary
definition of the word cyclone should
rule, while the court held that the tech
meal definition should prevail. The cir
cult court of appeals for the Eight
circuit reversed the lower court. anC
the refusal of the supreme court Of the
United States to grant a writ of Ger
tiorari leaves in effect the decision OF
the circuit court of appeals.
