Insurance Verdict.

In the cases of ]. B. Sherman against
the Phoenix Insurance Company, of
Hartford, Conn.,, and Phoenix Insur-
ance Company, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
which occupied the attention of the
Wise county circuit court the greater
part of last week, Judge Skeen over
ruled the demurrer to the evidence by
the defendants and rendered judgment
in favor of Sherman for So, 900, the face
value of policies in those companies car
ried by Sherman on a stock of merchan-
disc which was destroyed by fire at Ca
Diet, suburb of Big Stone Gap, little
more than year ago. The insurance
companies alleged that Sherman had
not complied with the contract in that
he had not kept a set of books as re-
quired by the policy and was not. there
fore, entitled to recover. The insur-
ance companies will take the case to the
Court of Appeals.

Land Frauds Alleged.

Hastings, Mich, Jan. 25. Sixteen
citizens of Hastings, including the cir
cult judge and the prosecuting attorney,
have been summoned by subpoena to
Oklahoma to give testimony in regard
to land deals in which Walter R. Eaton,
secretary to Governor Haskell, and a
former resident of this city, is alleged
to be concerned. 1t is alleged that the
persons subpoenaed received deeds to
certain lands in Oklahoma and that the
title was afterwards converted to Eaton.
That the Government regards the in
vestigation of great Importance was ev-
idenced by the fact that the jury is be-
ing watched and guarded by secret SER
vice men. Additional interest is added
ed to the case by reason of the implica-
ton of Governor Haskell in the investi-
cation. He in turn declares the entire
matter is due to the enmity of William
r. Hearst.

Bristol to Vote.

Judge Price, of the corporation court
of Bristol, Va, will at once be asked to
call local option election in that city.
A petition for the election is now being
circulated, and it is reported that almost
enough signers to compel the court to
order the election have been procured.
The situation in Bristol is urioue
Bristol, Tenn, just across the State
line, voted dry, with the understanding
that the other city would also remain
dry. On account of the State wide pro-
hibition bill just passed in Tennessee it
Is impossible for it to again have sa-
looms. Should Bristol, Va, go wet, her
sister city, Bristol, Tenn, will practi-
cally have saloons but get no revenue.
