ports. the chief will attempt to post

Mr.. Englerth why he drove past the
lights that served as a warning to
keen teams and vehicles from the un-
paved street. and he replied that he

said that when he saw the automo-
bile coming he stopped his car and
put on the reverse so IL would be

loudly. Englerth did not seem 10
slacken his speed at any time. The
latter could have turned off from the
track at one place, where ii was
paved. but did not do so. and the
wheel tracks in the sand indicated
that he did not try to turn OFF at any
time.
Mr.. Buchholtz said that he asked
Mr.. Englerth why he ran into the
street car. and that Englerth replied
that he did not have to get off the
track for a street car. or words 10

st. Charles. MINI. Septembe: II -
A peculiar situation. of interest 10
some fraternal orders. has developed
in st. Charles. by the death of Gerry
Miller. Mr. Miller was a beneficiary
Of the Modern Woodmen of America.
His policy was made out i'm favor Of
his wife and she mas since died. MIR.
and Mrs. Miller had no children, he
has neither brother nor sister, his
blind, aged father recently died and
he had not one blood relative who
could be his beneficiary. Some time
/ ago not long after the death of his
wife he wrote the head office of the
NJ. w A. asking If he could not sign
over his policy TO friend, who would
care for him in his declining years.
but this the head offices said could
not be done. as the provisions of the
order are that the beneficiary must
be wife or blood relative. Things
dragged along. Mr.. Miller paid his
assessments regularly. and now when
death has claimed him, his policy is
forfeited to the order.
He had just one cent in his pocket
when injured. and the expense OF his
last illness and death, funeral i'm st.
Charles and burial i'm Winona, were
all born by George Meilkc for whom
MIR Miller worked. The Woodmen
probably will reimburse MIR. Mcilkc
for the expense incurred. but the
situation is peculiar and will be close
ly watched by those interested in
this phase of the NJ. w. A.
