Insurance Suit at Grand Forks De

Insurance Suit at Grand Forks De.
cided Against Company.
In the case of ]. B. Wineman, spe-
cial administrator of Otto Schmidt,
against the Travellers Insurance COM
pany of Hartford, Judge Fisk of Grand
Forks directed the jury to return q
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
OF $3.50 and costs.
This is the first action of the kind
ever tried in the state. and was
brought to recover $500. the face
value Of an insurance policy issued
by the company on the life Of Otto
Schmidt, who was killed in the Great
Northern power house at Larimore q
year ago. The policy was made pay
able to the father of the deceased, but
all efforts to find the elder Schmidt.
who was supposed to live in Berlin.
Germany, have proved unavailing.
States Attorney Wireman was ap-
pointed special administrator of the
estate, and the insurance policy
proved to be the only semblance of an
estate. Proof of death was forward
cd to the company, and draft for
$1,000 was issued by the company to
Mr.. Wineman. Before it was deliv-
cred the company directed that it be
returned to the head Office. but in the
meantime the draft was attached by
Mr.. Wineman and has been held in
Grand Forks since.
In making application to the Grea,
Northern for a position, Schmidt
stated on the blank provided for the
purpose that his father and mother
were dead. Just why he had his in
s'lrance policy made payable to his
tather after making this statement
Will, of course, never be known. 1t is
thought that the agent who wrote his
application stated that some one was
necessary as beneficiary, and the
| young man, who had been in this
country but few years, named his
father without any explanation
Dispositions from severatl persons in
Berlin, including the Americatn min
istcr and the German consul in the
United States, We're introduced, show
ing that no such a person as Schmidt
could be found in Berlin, and while
| persons had been located there who
knew him, they claimed that he was
dead.
The court directed a verdict for the
plaintiff adding interest to the orr
glnal amount in this instance reverts
to the state under a law providing
| that all estates to which there is no
| legal claimant shall revert to the
state. and at the end of ten years be
added to the permanent school fund,

An investigation reveals the fac,
that the robbers had first gone to the
Great Northern handcar house. which
they broke into and secured tools con-
sistins of crowbars and hammers.
They then made their way to the rear
OF the bank. where they removed a
storm window. after which they broke
the light ont OF the inside window,
and entered. They drilled hole in
the vault. filed it with nitro-glycerine
and blew the outside door off. There
yet remained three more solid iron
doors for them to pass. which they
did with the aid of more nitro-glycer-
inc, crowbars and hammers. The
compartment in which the money was
kept was wrecked
After the robbery, the men returned
to the handcar house, took out the
handcar and escaped on it. They
must have left the village going east
ward, as there was a strong wind
from the west against which it would
have been impossible to pump the car.
The. bank carried insurance against
robbery. and is amply protected
against all loss.
