Farmer Loses Suit

An important decision relative to
the general practice Of farmers keep
Ing their motor cars, trucks and en-
gines In their barns has just been an
nounced by the Kansas supreme court
In the suit of Chas. L. Morgan against
the Germania Fire and the Northwest
ern National Insurance companies.
The lower court was reversed and the
insurance companies were given the
judgment.
Morgan carried two policies on his
barn on his farm. Both contained the
provision that no gasoline could he
stored in the barn. He kept his motor
car In the barn, and the tank Of the
car usually contained from two to ten
gallons of gasoline. The car was NOT
IN the barn at the time of thefirc
which destroyed it. Morgan maintain
ed that the gasoline in the car was not
IN storage and that the prohibition of
the insurance policies was not heinr
violated. The insurance companies
refused to pay the claim for the loss
on the ground that the prohibition in
the policy against the keeping Of
gasoline in the barn had been violated
Ihe supreme court sustained the
latter view. The decision is Of large
Importance to the insurance compan.
les and to farmers gerenally. Com
paratfvely few farmers have separate
garages for their cars, and most Of
them keep their cars, trucks, tractors
and even gasoline engines stored in
the barns.
The decision finally settles the point
that gasoline in the tank in a motor
car is gasoline in storage when kent

nibtting the storing Of gasoline in the
building. 1t may be necessary for the
companies to prepare q new rural
property policy form to make certain
that the farmers do not violate the re-
quirements of the policies and to call
their special attention to the fact
that they can not use barns for gar
ages and collect the insurance in case
OF fire without paying the higher
rates.

Charged With Murder
Edward Peeper Of Grant County To
Appear Before Judge Anderson
ON Charge Of Shooting Wife

About year ago the corner and
the states attorney were called to
Lura township, Grant County to in
vestigate the death of Mrs. Edward
pepper, who was supposed to have
committed suicide by shooting her
self. After an investigation Of the
matter they reported the woman had
probably killed herself an a At of
temporary insanity. People Of the
neighborhood. however, have not felt
fully satisfied that it was a case Of
suicide, as the husband and wife had
had trouble the night before, and
there were other peculiar circumt
stances, but no one was willing to
swear out complaint against the
man at the time.
However, neighbors continued to
insist that the matter be investtgat-
ed and the first of the week charge
of murder was made against the
husband, and he was arrested and
brought to this city. He waived pre-
liminary examination before Justice
Bleser and Wednesday was taken
to Webster where Judge Anderson
fixed his bonds to appear at the next
term of circuit court, at $4,000.
Considering that there is strong
feeling in Lura township that
crime has been committed so 1t will
be good thing to have the matter
thoroughly investigated, and the wo-
mans body it is said will be exhumed
for examination. The body was inter-
red in a Watertown cemetery.
At the coroner's examination year
ago, 1t was shown that after break
fast on the morning Of the tragedy
Mr.. pepper and two Of the sons had
gone to a neighbors farm to get some
machinery. another son was doine
chores in the barn and the mother
had sent the two little girls out to
play until she should call them The
boy In the barn had heard two shots
and going to the house found his
mother dead from gun shot wound
in the breast.-Milbank Herald-Ad-

Auto Lights Need Attention
Serious Accident Narrowly Avoided
-Dimmers Law Not Enforced
Says Webster Paper

We have heard considerable COM
plant recently on the manner in
which the state law requiring dim
incrs ON headlights of motor vehicles
is being disregarded by many tutu
drivers, and the injudicial use of
spotlights on cars. 1t seems there
has been little if any effort anywhere
in the state to enforce the law. Al
natural result many drivers entire
ly ignore the DINNER law and pay
little attention to the law requiring
them to slow down when approach
ing another car on the road.
This condition of affairs is danger
Gus. We know it and will in all pro-
liability tolerate it until an accident
occurs and one or more persons are
killed or manned. Then we will get
busy and see to it that the law is en-
forced to the letter and then some.
while sending flowers to the bier of
the poor unfortunates and sympathy
to the family.
Why not make an effort to enforce
the law now? If it is poor law the
best way to get rid of it is to enforce
1t.
Our attention was called to this
condition of affairs by farmer who
lives south of town and was return
ing home with his family, in the car.
He was driving slowly, as his batteries
were weak and his lights dim. An
other car shot over a hill at the rate
of about 35 miles an hour switched
on switchlight and entirely blinded
him for few seconds. Both cars were
turned quickly and went into the
ditch. but fortunately they met on
a comparatively level piece of road
Neither car was upset and no damage
done, but the farmer says that the
cars did not miss each other by more
than foot and he can't see yet how
they missed a head-on collision.
His remarks about searchlights and
the lack of dinners would not look
a bit nice in print and nothing like
his remarks will be found in your
Sabbath school lesson. From now
on the lights on his car will be in
first class working order when he
takes the family out in Lizzie.
Car drivers can you afford 70 be
careless in this matter and take tbs
chances of injuring yourself and
others? In case of accident your are
liable for heavy damages. Better lock
up the law and govern yourself ac-
cordingly.-Webster Farmer and Re

drivers were mot injured or killed
The cars struck at the sides and turn
