Woodmen Seek
Court Support
Order Resists Payment of In
surance for Policyholder
Who Disappeared.
Lincoln, Sept. 26.—In a brief of
many pages the order of Modern
Woodmen appealed to the supreme
court to support its plea that the by
law of the order relating to the pay
ment of policies on the lives of mem
bers who have disappeared is reason
able and should be so held by the
courts.
For many years Nebraska courts
have hekl that if a man is gone from
his home for a period of seven years
and nothing has been heard from him,
the presumption is that he is dead.
The -case at issue is one In which
John J. Cunningham of Clay county,
a policyholder, disappeared in 1911
and has not been heard from. The
beneficiaries paid his dues and assess
ments from that date and then
brought suit for payment of the death
benefit. The order resists payment.

a heroine by trailing and lassoing a
coyote, which was killed by her with
the aid of her dog.
Mrs. Elliott heard a disturbance
among her chickens and rushing to
the scene she discovered a coyote try
ing to steal a fry. Instead of be
coming frightened and running away,
Mrs. Elliott grabbed her gun and
took a long-distance shot at the ani
mal, which was striving to make its
escape. The bullet struck one of the
coyote's legs, breaking it.
Then Mrs. Elliott started in pursuit
of the wounded coyote, trailing it
some distance. She finally succeeded
In lassoing and killing it.
Woolen clothes examined under the
microscope can be tested not only for
their quality, but also to show

healthy animal.
