Ill , jN p. j. McManus ^ 1 Lodge Has to Fay It. After many years hammering away at the Alice Scott case in a suit to compel the Ancient Order of United Workmen to pay to the widow of Bar rett Scott the money on a policy held by Scott in that order, H. M. Uttley comes out victorious. The supreme court has rendered a decision to the effect that Barrett Scott was illegally suspended from the lodge, therefore the lodge is liable to the amount of the certificate held. The case was tried in the district court of Holt county in the early nineties and the beneficiary of Bar rett Scott won. It was taken to the supreme court and the lodge secured a reversal of the district court Mr. Uttley as attorney for Alice Scott, se cured a re-hearing in the supreme court and judgment has just been rendered in his favor. The original judgment was something like $2,400, which has accumulated interest to run it up to between $3,200 and $3,400. Including costs, the lodge will have about $4,00?) to pay. In the beginning the beneficiary offered to settle for $1,500. Claim Stole Fay Press. The State of Nebraska vs. Margaret J.
