 Besor. Jnsr. webb and a jury tn. case of Harry F. Back. of Danielson, vs the Peoples National Insurance company of Delaware was commenced in the su- perior court here shortly after noon Wed nesday. The plaintiff is suing to recover the amount of insurance of a policy COW ering house which MT Back owned at Alexander's Lake and whica was de- stroyed by fire May 1. 1918. The insur- ance was $500 on the house and $500 on the furniture and other contents.
 The company has failed to pay the in- surance, asserting that the policy be- come null and void because of the fact that 1t did not set forth fiat Mir. Back was not the owner of the land on which the destroyed building stood. This should 1 have been noted in the policy. under it's terms the defendant company claims Mir.

 WiIlimantie police, CT those who speak for them publicly, are painfully obtuse. l Apparently only a major o,eraticT of a 1 surgical nature will suffice to instill any new idea realtive to raiding for liquor into their neaas. No one in Putnam has tic or any other city carrying out their duty of apprenending yiolators of the Vol stead act. whether such violators come from Putnam of Paducah.
 Criticisms that still stand as sohd as the rock of Gibraltar have been made from this city against the high-hansled and unlawful manner in which the Willi- mantle police have sometimes proceeded with their duties. and the day may come when they will improperly interfere wf,s the wrong man. providing the opportunity for the courts in which some of Putnan's eminent attorneys appear. to Say official ly whethe- peaceful citizen must sub init to having his car stopped and search. ed on the ground that a man having blue uniform, a set of brass buttons an. tin whistle can step cut into the high.
 ways of the state in the darkness O night and summarily order a man tc halt his machine that 1t may he "giver the once over" with all the scrutiny tha . general phrase may imply. setting asid. , all rights a man is supposed to have un der the law.
 It is held by excellent authorit- that a search warrant must be presented before a mans automobile or person cal be searched for liquor or any other req
 son. Cheap insinuations that the police 0 Putnam are not doing their duty ae t watching rum runners merely takes u] | newspaper space. It has no foundation
 in truth. Various prosecutions for vio , lations of the liquor law have been mad. here and prosecutions made within tn. past few weeks. Stills have been seizet and mash destroyed. men fined and at tention of federal officers called to tn
 cases.
 Putnam attorneys nor citizens hay . never made criticism of what willi
 mantle police have done to stop run runners. Objections have been agains
 halting of the cars of state officials. Sun
 day school sUoerintendents and just or
 dinary law abiding citizens who do no use of intoxicants, have never been unde suspicicn of carrying them about il
 their automobiles. but feel that they hav
 right to use the highways without be ing subjected to indignitieS whether b.
 police officers or others.
