that the letter was misleading.
TIE defense claimed that 1t an
nulled the policy. Thereon hung the
decision of the jury as it was up to
them to say which Of the two conten-
tions was correct.
The first trial in the district court
resulted in verdict of the jury in
favor of the plaintiff. The defense ap-
pealed to the supreme court which re-
versed the decision and made 1t nee
essary for new trial in the district
court. At three different periods sew
eral days were consumed In the argu-
ment of law points by counsel. The
case then came up for trial before
Judge D. M. Anderson last fall. The
decision of the jury at this trial was
exactly the reverse, the verdict being
in favor Of the defendant Judge An
derson afterward ruled that he had
erred in his instruction to the jury and
therefore set aside the verdict, order
ing a new trial. Once again the de-
PENDANT company appealed to the SUI
preme court from this decision. This
appeal is now pending but since the
settlement of yesterday, 1t therefore
is brought to naught

turning to her home the bride In
formed her motherin-law of her mar
riage to Harry Durland, but asked
that it be kept secret as that was
the wish expressed by Durland. Mrs
Anna C. Durland, mother of Harry
Durland, died last April and 1t was
then that the wife Of young Durland
decided to claim the estate.
In the meantime, the estate of Mrs.
Durland, said to be worth more than
$50, 900, had passed to her brother, D,

WILL ALLAY DUST NUISANCE.
Burlington to Sprinkle Roadbed With
OIL; Experimental Work Now
Bejno Pushed.

Burlington, May 20.-Experiments Of
oiling the roadbed of the Burlington
railroad will be started by the man
agement, and II successful the plan
will be extended throughout the en-
tire system where traffic is heavy.
The experiments will be carried on
in the yards at Downer's Grove and
Naperville, where device attached
to a large oil tank will sprinkle the
oil over the roadbed. This system
will quickly sprinkle the oil where re-
quired and will prove far more sue
cessful than II the work we're done by
hand.
The ofiicials will try out the expert
ment for the purpose Of laying the
dust, and are of the opinion that IT.
will do away with the disagreeable an
noyance Of dust and cinders. There
is every reason to believe that the test
will prove the success that it is ex-
pected and that 1t will not be great
while before the entire Burlington sys-
tenn will be treated In the same man
ner where trafnc is heaviest.

both applicants were present. This
was more for matter of record but IS
a premonition to the other side of
what is coming. The testimony given
before the board at the time of the
consideration in accordance with the
writ was presented to the
court, 1t having been taken by an Of
