MRS. R. S. CONNELL
SUES ON POLICIES
Tragic Death of Former Omaha Boy
Reflected in Effort to Collect
Accident Insurance.
TWO COMPANIES CONTRASTING
Claim that lie Was Not Engaged in
the Occupations Described In
the Policies at Time He
Met His Death.

The tragic death of Ralph S. Connell
near his home in Tularosa. n. NJ is re-
Elected in a suit just filed in the district
court hero against the Reliance Life In
surance company of Pittsburgh to recover
Sn,0W on an accident policy issued to
him some time prior TO his death. The
petition of his wife. Bertha Green Con-
nell alleges the issuance OF the policy,
the circumstances of the shooting of her
husband from ambush and the refusal of
the company to pay the amount OF the
policy, which she demands with interest
aud costs.
The attorney representing the plaintiff
is w. ]. Connell, who states that all the
insurance held by his son, Ralph, at the
time of his death, except the policies Of
the Reliance Insurance company Of
Pittsburgh and the Maryland Casualty
company of Baltimore. Md. have been
fully paid
'As to these two companies" says Mr.
Connell, the flimsy reason given to
avoid payment is that at the time of the
shooting Ralph 5. Connell was engaged
in an employment different from the en-
ployment specified in the application and
in the policy issued to him. In the appli-
cation and policy it was stated that he
was engaged as proprietor of farm, office
duties and travelling At the time he was
shot from ambush, as ALLEGED in tho
petition, without warning or notice or
provocation of any kind. and while riding
ON horseback in the public highway. ac-
Companied by his little 9-year-old daugh-
ter, he was with herd of cattle of about
200 head which he had purchased and
which were being driven from Tularosa
to the Mescalero Indian Agency by his
foreman and number of Mexican herd
crs. Although in no way injured by any
OF the cattle or as the result of accom-
panying the herders with his little daugh-
ter it is claimed by these insurance COM
panies that he was not then doing office
duties or duties of proprietor of farm,
or travelling within the terms of the
policy; and that therefore. no liability
exists. If this is a sufficient reason for
not paying the full amount of the policy,
j propose to find 1t out"
Mr.. Council expresses his intention to
bring another suit against the Maryland
Casualty company in a few days.

exactly the same spot that he was found

nc was released New Years morning by
Captain Dempsey. While passing under
the viaduct William Dineen, 1Ot7 South

had been robbed of $40 by a colored
woman at Fourteenth and Cass streets.
No trace of the woman could be found.
and since that time the man is reported
10 have been drinking heavily.

is known, however that the members

Cowell to accept the presidency. II is
known too that owing TO the pressure of
his personal business Mr.. CowelI has
positively declined. II is also known
that at the time the presidency was put
up to Mr.. Cowel only two other names
were mentioned by the members present,
those Of c. ]. Ernst and Or. d. Fl.
Jenkins. the former being the second
choice of most of them. so that every
one may draw his own inference.

Found Near Scene

The gun. with which Clement Sir shot
and killed himself. was discovered Fri
day several yards from the spot at
Thirty-sixth and Q streets. where his
body was found. The inability of the

counted for by the fact that Sir threw
the gun away. walked several yards and

from sight The weapon was a e caliber
revolver. The fact that the revolver was
not found at first led for a while to the
suspicion that Sir had met with foul
