The jury found for the Mercantile
company.
The second case tried was that of
Hugh J. O’Connor, of Atkinson, vs.
the Traveler’s Health Association, of
Omaha. O’Connor sued for sick
benefits. The company contested the
claim on the grounds that O’Connor
did not correctly answer questions on
his application for a policy, regarding
previous illness. The jury rendered
a verdict for $120.00 and interest in
favor of O’Connor.
The case of Edward Boshart vs.
John Barret was next tried. This

to such an extent that Boshart de
cided to remove the cattle from the
Barret pasture. Barret objected and
Boshart replevined the cattle and,
according to evidence submitted, ten
dered Barret $1.00 per head for the
time the cattle were in the pasture.
The jury found for Boshart.

was a point of law. The Judge will
render a decision some time during
