HILLSBORO FARMER
COMMITS SUICIDE

Mt. Pleasant March Johannes
Hemming we'll to do farmer, aged
eighIy-two years, and former resident
of this city. committed suicide at his
home near Hillsboro, Iowa, last Sun
day morning by hanging himself from
beam in the barn. The deceased was
in good circumstances financially, and
his health was unusually good for a
man of his advanced age. Sunday
morning his daughter, Kate, who has
been keeping house for him, made her
usual arrangements to attend church
and bid her father good bye as was
her custom. At that time he did not
in the least seem disturbed or dis
tracted. On her return from church,
she noted her fathers absence from
the house but thought that he might
be attending to some minor duties
around the barn and went in search
of him. Upon opening the barn door
the first sight to meet her eyes, was
the body of her father hanging, sus-
pended, with rope around his neck
from a beam running through the
building. Aid was secured and the
body was cut down as soon as possible,
but life had been extinct for some
time. The funeral services will be
held from the residence this afternoon
at 2 D. m.

is FIANCEE ENTITLED
TO INSURANCE ?

Des Moines, March 10-The supreme
court yesterday opened it's third period
of the January term with a rehearins
of the two cases involving the insur
ance money left by William D. Sow.
ers, real estate agent, who died Oct
9, 1911, as the result of wounds he re.
ceived while hunting on Oct. 7. The
point at issue is whether a decision
shall stand giving Miss Jean B. Town
send, fiancee of Sewers, $4,000 due
from another policy, both of which
We're in the Fidelity and Casualty Co.,
of New York.
Sewers had two policies with the &C.
ing for $4,000 in case of accidental
death.
One policy namedhis brother, James
NJ. Sewers, as beneficiary, and the 9th.
er named his sister, Mrs. Robert Hall
as beneficiary. Sewers, after having
been accidentally shot, was taken to a
Des Moines hospital, where he made a
will, giving to his fiancee, Miss Jean
Townsend, the money to be collected
from the policy and to L. E. Ellis, as
trustee, the result of the other policy.
The insurance company was undecided
which claim to recognize, therefore It
contested all of them on the ground
that Sewers had no authority to
change the beneficiary without the
consent of the company
The supreme court held that the
language of the contract did not bar
the real estate man from making the
change. Mrs. Kate NJ. Townsend acted
for her daughter, Jean Townsend, in
the suit.
In the district court the insurance
company won. The supreme court re-
versed the decision, and then granted
rehearing. The oral arguments will
be heard this morning.
No Polk county cases will be heard
at this period of the term.
