SNYDER IS DEAD
 WHEN DID HE DIE?
A QUESTION OF INTEREST TO
 THE l. o. F.
The Payment of an Insurance Policy
 Hangs On 1t.
(Continued on page s.)

Spokane, Wash, May 16.-Whether August Snyder, declared legally dead by the supreme court of Washington, died, in contemplation of the law, at the beginning or the end of seven years, is a point which jury in the Spokane county superior court will be called upon to decide in the suit by his widow, Tena Butler, divorced and remarried, against the Independ- ent Order of FOresters, to recover S1,000 on an insurance policy, upon which she paid premiums for three years. If the jurors decide that Shy der was dead at the beginning of seven years Mrs. Butler will be en- titled to recover. If they say he died at the end of that period she can not recover because of nOn-payment of premiums the last four years.
 The case has been heard three times in the superior court here and has been appealed thrice to the su-' preme court. Judge William A Huneke, before whom the original suit came for trial, decided the court had no jurisdiction. The supreme court reversed this opinion. At the StCpllu lIldl- DtLOIt JuuSt H. Sul- livan, the jury disagreed. The su- preme court sent the case back to this county. and at the third hearing Judge H. L. Kennan held that Mrs. Butler was estopped. The court dis missed the case on the ground that when the woman secured a decree of divorce from Snyder to marry But Ter. she admitted that her first hus- band was living. Judge Kennan took the position that if Snyder were dead there would have been no necessity for the divorce. and that if living his beneficiary could not recover on the policy.
 When Snyder disappeared, about seven years ago, a thorough search was made by Mrs. Snyder, who was aided by the local lodge, but not a trace of the man was found. Mrs. Snyder paid the premium for three years and then discontinued pay ments. Afterward she obtained a df- vorce on the ground of desertion and married again.
