the fund i r. Oakleaf represented
the mother. Searlc & Marshall the
wife and PIautz * Perrin the Wood
men.
The insurance society deposited the
amount OF the policy with Circuit
Clerk C. W. Gamble. and filed a bill of
interpleader. TO determine to whom
the money should be paid. Master in
Chancery J. l. Haas was directed to
take evidence in the case and he
found that Mrs. Mary Nyquist should
be given the money
Wife Paid Dues.
The evidence developed the fact
that Nyquist took out the policy be-
fore he was married when he could
not make the certificate payable to
his fiancee His mother was named
beneficiary. although it was his inten-
ton to have the policy changed later.
However, he neglected to do this,
primarily because he was out of work
and did not have the funds required
10 do it His wife kept his dues paid
I'D and had possession OF the valu-
able paper. Sept. II, 1911, Nyquist
committed suicide by .nhaling gas

Warm Welcome on
Arrival at Tiflis

PETRoGRAD. Dec. 1C--Cv,s london.
Dec llJ--The arrival OF the Russian en-
peror at Tiflis and the enthusiastic re-
ception he has been given in the eau
casus relieves considerable apprehension
which has prevailed regarding that sec
ton OF the country The fact that the
emperor had left go visit the headquarters
in the Caucasus was not announced, but
his arrival at Tiflis is chronlcled today.
The apprehension regarding the eau
casus was due 10 the fact that emissarles
of the Turks and the Germans had started
a propaganda in that region promising
the Georgians re-establishment of the
old Georgian lSingdom and eniisting Mo-
hammedan sympathy for Turkey.
Nobody doubted tho sentiment OF the
ArTnenians and the cultured Mohamme
dams and Georgians. but many doubted
the illiterate Georgians and Mohamme-
dams, who constituted three-quarters Of
the population OF the Caucasus. The
emperor's trip and reception have now
