COURT AT NORTH PLATTE Salt for Damn res for Death f Boy ts Compromised. NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Nov. 18. (Spe cial.) District court convened In thla city last Monday and began the trial of cases Tuesday afternoon with a Jury. The first cane tried was the State of Nebraska against Chauncey B. Rogers, who waa tried for stealing a set of harness from Mrs. Julia A. Davis, In the southeast part of the county. Wednesday the Jury rendered a verdict acquitting the defendant. The next case was one In which Guy Pitt and one Slbblts were tried upon the charge of having stolen new barb wire from a store house belonging to the Rupp estate. It was alleged that the wire was of the value of $145 and that the defendants had broken Into the building and stolen It. The defend ants demanded separate trials and Blbblts was placed upon trial first. At the conclu sion of the evidence offered by the state, the court directed a verdict of not guilty. The Jury was then Impanelled to try the case of Everett B. Hannlngs, administrator of the estate of Caona O. Spencer, against Herman M. Reims. This was a suit to re cover 15,000 damages for the death of Canna O. Spencer, caused by the falling In of a cave which he was digging for the defend ant The deceased was a boy of the age of 15 years at the time of the accident. At a former trial a verdict was rendered for the defendant, but the case waa reversed In the supreme court and a new trial or dered. After the Jury had been chosen and lirpanelled the case was settled by the defendant paying the plaintiff SGOO and all costs of the case. The court will probably be In session until early In December with a Jury engaged in the trial of civil suits, as the docket Is heavier than usual Capital Nationalises Again. SEWARD, Neb.. Nov. IS. (Special.) Judge Good convened the November term of district court here Monday, but on Tues day took an adjournment until November 2ft, when the famous Capital National bank cashes are to be tried.

Mosher was the controlling spirit In the bank, and was sentenced to the federal prison at Sioux Falls, a P., for violating the natlpnal banking laws. Among the heavy deposi tors who ort In the failure were the Jones National bank of Seward, the Bank of PtaDlehurst. Thomas Ballev of Pleasant i Dale, and a few others In this county. Suit was started In 1894 against the directors of the defunct Capital National to recover the amount that was on deposit, and the case came to trial in the district court in Seward county about ten years ago. Since then the care has gone to the United States supreme court, and Is now back at the beginning again. D. E. Thompson, former ambassador to Mexico, was one of the directors of the Capital National, and Is one of the principal defendant. Three or four weeks will prabably be consumed In the trial and the men who are drawn on the Jury will have a good long time to serve. H. T.

The Indiana on the Sisseton reservation. In the northwestern portion of South Dakota, are making rapid progress In civilization. This was not only shown in the trial of Jacob Keoke, one of their number, for the murder of Oeorge Kampeska, who pleaded the "unwritten law" in regular white man style, but is borne out by the statements of Major 8. A. Allen, the reservation agent, who says that while fully 75 per cent of the reservation Indians are full bloods 65 per cent of them have become agriculturists and have proven themselves thrifty and fairly successful as farmers. There are about 2,000 redskins on the reservation, which Is eighty miles long and forty miles wide. Of this amount of land the Indians have been allotted about tOO.Ouo acres, while the remainder la now in the hands of the whites. From this land the Indiana this year raised approximately 100.0U0 bushels of wheat, 78,000 bushela of oats, 40,000 bushels of corn and 4,000 bushels of flax. Their fair, held during three days of October, will compare favorably with any white man's county fair In South Dakota. In cluded la the exhibits were ninety exhibits of small grain, forty of corn, and a large num1"1, vegetable. In addition, fine snowings were mad of cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, chickens and ether products of the farm. There are thirteen churches on the res ervation, the Episcopal, Presbyterian and Cathollo denominations predominating. During the past two years 136 good farm houses have been built. The Indiana are In the main virtuous, self-respecting and show a remarkable affinity for civilisation, the only drawback to their advancement, ac cording to Major Allen, being their fond nesa for liquor, which 1 sometimes sup plied them by bootleggers, despite the most strenuous efforts of the government to keep the liquor dispensers out of reach of tbe Indiana.

Standard Policy Law Interpreted South Dakota Supreme Court Bules on Amendments Made to Meet Local Conditions. PIERRE, & D., Nov. 18. 8pec1at Tn the case of Peter Nellsen against Merchant Mutual Insurance association, which came to the supreme court from Spink county, Judge Whiting In his opinion sustains the lower court, and at the same time In a manner lays down limitation to which mutual companies may go under the law. The Merchant company, under the provi sions of chapter 170 of the law of 1907, at tempted to place aa a part of Its policies certain, "riders" and when Nellsen brought suit for loss on a policy of S1.W0 attempted to set up the riders a a defense. In this they were overruled by the lower court and the supreme court After the legislature of 1906 passed a standard policy law It was found that many local mutual com panies which had to meet local conditions could not well literally comply with the standard policy provisions and the 1907 ses sion amended the law to allow the local mutuals to Incorporate "special provisions" In their bylaws and putting them in force by making them a part of the policy. In line with this the Merchants association added a number of riders, among them one requiring policyholders to keep their books In fireproof safe and another allowing partial payment of losses In certain cases. On these two they made their defense. The supreme court In Us decision nolds that the 'special provisions allowed to such com panies were only such a through their local condition could not be met by a general policy. That any attempt to add a "special provision" any feature which might find a place In a general policy Is going outside of the rights granted to the mutual companies and is void.

Crlppen, under sentence of death In Lon don for the murder of his wife, died to day In this city, friendless and penniless. His death, due to the Infirmities of age, waa hastened 'by grief over hi son's orlme. The elder Crlppen was 80 years old. His death occurred In a rooming house and th only person at his bedside was the proprie tress of the place. Hawley Crlppen. a son of Dr. Crlppen, was with the aged man during the night, but left before death oo. ouired. Hawley Crlppen Is employed by a local telephone company and Is married. Dr. Crlppen was the sole support of his aged father, and since the son' flight from London with Ethel Leneve and his arrest In Canada some months ago. no re mittance had come. Before that time let ter containing money came regularly and the old man lived In comparative comfort Facing actual starvation, he wa flnall) saved by a few person whom he had come to know during his residence In Lo An geles. The landlady of the rooming house gave him a room, and a restaurant keeper, at whose place he had been accustomed to buy his meals, supplied them free. The old man believed implicitly In the Innocence of his son. A short time before death last night he said to those about him: "It won't be long now before I go. But my boy I innocent; he 1 a good boy." He would never admit the possibility of hi son' guilt, nor did he betray the fact that Dr. Crlppen' trouble had out off his only means of support.
