Thompson, Ex-Nebraskan, Simply Cannot Withstand the Spell of June Days. David E. Thompson, formerly of Nebraska and former ambassador to Mexico, was married in Los Angele last Thursday to Gladys Dana, daugh ter of Mrs. Winifred Garber of that city, according te an announcement received by Omaha friends, says the World-Herald. This is Mr. Thomp son's fourth marriage. He was di vorced from his third wife, Florence Cook Thompson. IS. in October, 191!). Mr. Thompson is past 72. Mr. Tho;r.pson was divorced from his first wife and his second wife died while he was ambassador to Mexico. Mr. Thompson was the founder of the Lincoln (Neb. Star, appointed minister to Brazil in 1901, following his defeit for I'nited States senator ship from Nebraska. He was later appointed ambassador to Mexico, and served from 190; to 1909 under President Koosevelt. Following his third marriage, Mr. Thompson and his wife spent their honeymoon in England. 1'pon tin i r re lrn to Lincoln he severed his fi nancial relations, and. with his wife, moved to the Pacific coast where a child was born to them. The child, by the third marriage, is in the cus tody of the husband, it is understood. In the third divorce the reasons for granting it were never made known in Nebraska. The couple had been estranged for some time prior to granting it. according to refiorts. LAW IS THRESHED OUT Named as Beneficiary Man Who Couldn't Collect and Estate Now Claims Proceeds. An odd legal point was involved in a iawsuit argued in .supreme court Monday morning. When O. T. Strib ling was alive he took out a $1,000 policy in the National Counc'li An nuity association, afterward:; absorb ed by the Fraternal Aid Fnion. He owed Buckstaff Bros., of Lincoln some money, and in order to insure the payment of this debt he took the policy out with A. H. Buckstaff, as beneficiary. The lay does not per mit fraternal policies t'o be issued to other than relatives or dependents. Buckstaff was named as a dependent. Strihling paid the premiums on the policy for twenty years, and when he died Buckstaff declined to claim the money as a dependent, because he wasn't. Suit was then begun against the union by the widow and children of Stribling. on the theory that where the beneficiary named fails the es tate of the policy-holder becomes the proper person to receive the proceeds. The fraternal society insisted that the policy was secured by fraud; that if it had known in what relation Buckstaff stocd it would not have is sued the policy; that the fraudulent purpose was still more evident from the testimony of the widow that they intended to pay the debt to Buckstaff out of the proceeds of the policy, and that the suit wa3 really prose cuted In his interest. T. S. Allen won for the estate in the lower court, and Judge Fawcett argued for the society in the higher court. ' The two gentlemen became involved in a mild dispute as to the correctness of a biblical quotation with respect to the voice of Jacob, while the hand was the hand of Esau. Mr. Allen saiffthat the suit was being prosecuted for the heirs in good faith, that the society had been You Can Save I have recently purchased the hardware stock of Mr. W. H.
