JUDGE STEELE
WAS AFFIRMED
Supreme Court Upholds Decision Of
the District Court in Case Of Anna
Price Against Insurance Company

judge Steele was affirmed in an OPP
inion handed down by the supreme
court in the case of Anna Price versus
the North American Accident Insur-
ance company, in which the plaintiff
sought to secure payment of $500 for
the accidental death of her son. The
case originated In Idaho county
where judgment was given in the dis
trict court for Mrs. Price. BY the
terms of the contract premium was
to be paid on or before June /, 1913,
and was paid to the Lewiston agent.
The son was killed June 6, 1913, and
the insurance company refused to pay
the amount the policy called for on
the grounds the premium was not paid
on the day it became due. In this case
the supreme court held that where a
contract Of insurance provides that the
acceptance Of a renewal premium shall
be optional with the company and If a
past due premium shall be accepted by
the company, by a branch office Of the
company or by any duly authorized
agent of the company, such acceptance
shall reinstate the policy in full as 70
disability resulting from accidental
bodily injuries thereafter sustained
whether the company had knowledge
of the payment or not.

Now Receiving Attention

Judge Frank S. DIETRICH opened the
fall term of the federal district court
at 10 O'Clock this morning and at once
began arranging the calendar for the
quick dispatch of business. The
grand jury reported. 12 out of 25
summoned being on hand and the
court ordered special venire of
eight more men. w. J. Ranney of Nez-
perez was named foreman and the
court delivered the charge, fully in
forming the members of the functions
of the grand jury. The jury at once
went into deliberation and it is under
stood thus far that about 80 cases of
violation of the Indian liquor law are
to be probed.
The court devoted an hour this
morning to a review Of the pending
criminal cases. Practically all the
cases involved violations of the Ind
ian liquor law Dismissals were or
dered in cases pending against VIM
H. WOOU, GlHlHelt II. WSDD, 0OlllaS
James, and Charles Rogers. In the
latter case the prosecution relied on
the testimony of John McConville. an
indian, who last July was found dead
along the railroad track near North
Lapwai. The supposition was that he
lost his life While intoxicated by be-
ing struck by a train. The court al
so dismissed the case involving the
of a team of horses and
buggy alleged to have been used in
liqucr in the reservation
country.
The court this morning also cleared
the decks for the disposal of equity
and civil business and heard argu-
ments in the awarding of attorneys
fees in the S. E. Pindall case and took
he matter under advisement. The
,ourt also heard arguments in sup
