, , FOR THE FULL AMOUNT.
The Jury that has fcr the past five days
toean hearing the cases brought by J. A
( Buckstaff against flvo different insurance
companies returned a sealed verdict las
night , which , when opened this morning
was found lo fcJln favor of the plaintiff fo
the full amount of his policies In the differ
ent companies , as follows : Providence
Washington , Granite State and Weslern As
eurnnca companies for $1,114.DO each , Spring
Garden for $1.671.75. and the Commcrcla
Union tor $3,229.06. The other companle
against which suit Is still pending , som
twenty-eight In number , do not accept thl
.verdict , however , as settling the points t
their cases , and will fight harder than ever
This morning the case against the Amerlcat
Fife of New York was taken up. Th
, court' * Instruction * la the case were mos
voluminous and complete , The contention o
the defendant was that the court had n
Jurisdiction In this case , relying upon tha
provision of the prllcy which provided tha
when a lei occurs the Insurer and the In
eured shall endea\or to agree upon th
amount of the loss , but It unable to do s
arbiters shall b selected and tha amcun
of the loss determined ; then If the Insure
does not pay the amount so found duo with
in alxty days the Insured may begin suit t
enforce the payment of the awanl , but tha
In that event tha amount of the loss canno
bo litigated. The court instructed tha jur
that this provision of the policy was agalns
public policy , null and void and of no legs
jcffoct whatever , and that the court had Juris
to jtry tuU cue. Jfco court ,
ver , instructed that If the Insured volun
tarily submitted the points In dispute to
rbltratlon and did not withdraw from such
rbltratlon before the award was made , then
10 courts would enforce such award as
Indlng , unless Impeached as fraudulent. If
: io Insured did withdraw , however , It was
ot binding and did net deprive Iho court of
urlsdlctlon to litigate the amount ot loss.
Another point In dispute was whelher a
art of the properly covered by Ihe policies
vas real or perscnal property , and after de-
Inlng the legal meaning of real property
ho court submitted this to tbo Jury as the
inostlon of fact for Ihem to' pass upon ,
lowevcr. If they found tllat the property was
cal estate and had been wholly destoyed ,
hen they should find for the full amount of
he policy , holding that tlio provisions of the
> ollcy which set up that the company Is not
lablo beyond the actual cash value cf the
property destroyed , loss the ambunt of do-
ireclallon , and lhat Iho company should not
> ay a greater proportion of the lss lhan
ho amount of the policy bears to the total
unount cf Insurance , had been abrogated by
ho statute , which states that In cases of
otal loss the amount of the insurance writ-
en In the policy shall bo taken conclusively
o be the true value of the property Insured
ind the true amount of loss and measure of
lamoges. If , however , the property was
ound lo be personal , and Iho loss only par-
, lal. then the Jury should weigh the evidence
and decide accordingly.
The verdict of Jury therefor Is Judicial af
firmation of the contentions of Buckstaft lhat
he buildings comprising the manufactory
vero real cslalo , that the loss was tolal and
lhat ho was entitled to recover the full
amount ot the policy.
LANCASTER COUNTY WON.
The county commissioners received word
from the clerk of the United States circuit
court ot appeals that the counly had finally
won Ihe damage , suit brought against It by
Michael Madden. Madden was formerly
steward at the Lincoln asylum , and one night
walked over the sldo ot the Incline leading
up to the bridge over Salt creek , Just the
other side of Lincoln park. He filed a claim
lor $20,000 damages with the commissioners ,
jul Ihey promptly rejected It. Then ho moved
Into Iowa and brought the suit In federal
court. Hero It was tried by a Jury and the
plaintiff recovered $6,700. The county was
represented by Mr. Whedon , who filed a mo
tion for arrest ot Judgment on the ground
that the verdict was not sustained by suffi
cient evidence , that Madden had failed to file
his claim with the commissioners within the
statutory limits , and that he dliUnot appeal
therefrom within the limit ot law. Tbo fed
eral court sustained the motion , and Madden
appealed to the circuit court of appeals , which
now affirms this ruling , which leaves the
county out without paying a cent as damages.
There were many peculiar Incidents connected
with the case , and It was alleged also that
Madden had been drinking , and that a botlla
was found on his person.

Mrs. Davis then gave one to T. S. Allen
The plaintiff alleges that the property I
worth $10,000 , and that as Talbot and Allei

SEAVEY'9 ANNUAL ADDRESS.
Chief Seavey's annual , , address was an
elaborate affair of much * Intereit to the
delegates. H embodied the following recom
mendations : .
First. That a committee be appointed , will
power lo act. for the purpose of securing th <
necessary legiHlatlon fpr the. advancement
of this union ; also to repeal Ihe clghteentl
clause of section 1G7 , ot chanter A , of tin
Compiled Statutes , which renfla ns follows :
"No policeman shall be allowed fees as c
witness In any case tried Irf any court o
thin state. " Also to have a law paused t <
authorize tbo mayor , or In his absence thi
chief of police or city marshal , of any In
corporatcd city la this state \9 swear li
iny number of men not to exceed 100 tenet
net as pcclal police In cases of riots , mobs ,
llres and other similar emergencies , and to
provide for the payment of such services.
Also to amend the laws relating to fugitives
from Justice BO that fugitives can be hold
i reasonable length of time to enable offi
cers of distant states to arrive with proper
requisition papers , etc. Also to pas' } a law
authorizing the mayor of nny Incorporated
clly to send a detachment of police to ns-
Blst In quelling riots , disturbances , etc. .
when requested lo do so by the mayor of
any other municipality In this state. Also
to amend the laws of cities of the ilrst
class , changing the office of city marshal 10
that of chief of police , and fixing the salary
of such chief of police at J12J ; llxlnir the
salary of city marshals of all cities of the
second class having , a population of 4,000
or more at $90 per month , and cities having
a population of 1,000 to 4.00) ) nt $75 per month.
The services of n good man are cheap at
most nny price. It Is very poor economy
for municipalities to pay starvallon wages
for police services. .
I would further recommend that u. gen
eral law be passed having for Its object the
prevention of the growing evil of lawlessness
and Idleness among the boys and girls of
our cities , and making It a misdemeanor
for minors between the ages of 8 and 16
years to be out of an evening afte 9
o'clock p. m. , from September to March ,
and after 9:30 : p. m. during the balance or
the year , unless accompanied by parent or
guardian. _ _ _ _

INDIANS LOVE TO WANDER

ANNUAL REPORT ON PINE RIDGE AGENCY
niul Shiftless but Discipline U Good
Kciervut'lon Only ( lotxl for Stock liais
ing Children I.oio by Heine Sent
Away lor Kducatlon.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. The condition of
Pine Rldgo Indian agency , according
laptaln C. O. Penny's annual report , renders
lie reservation fit only { or stock raising.
Vgrlculturo cannot furnish a living there
ecause of the altitude and aridity of the
ectlon. Tills condition cannot bo rcme-
led by Irrlgatl.n , and the Indians arc be
ginning to adopt stock raising as a business
iursult.
"Tho besetting sin of the Indians , " said
ho agent , "Is Idleness. They are Incapable
f sustained efforts , and nro shiftless , lazy
ind Irresponsible. They are still given to
.vanderlng . , and consumed with a desire to
go from agency to agency , making visits.
The discipline Is god , but the police force
should bo Increased to 100 men In order
to compel good In spite of the ( act that the
agent cannot at all times restrain and pre
vent turbulence , disorder and vlclenco among
the people.
"It Is a mistake to send children away
rom the reservation for too purposes of edu
cation. They got a smattering of learning
and return out of touch with the people ,
speedily Using the accomplishments they
have acquired. Co-education of the sexea
among the Indians Is not advisable. "
The feeling of 90 per cent of the Indians
on this reservation Is outspoken against
taking lands in severally , and the agent
says the allotment cf their lands , as pro.
posed , would result In the degradation ol
the people and their speedy extinction. Tin
Indians of the agency in South Dakota an
strongly commended by Agent J. G. Wright
whoso report Indicates a material advance
ment In clvlllzatkn during the year. Thi
practice of Issuing full treaty rations , how
ever , Is deprecated as preventing grcate
efforts In the direction of self support
Many , says the agent , would accept mono ;
value In lieu of supplies , and the chang
would undoubtedly result In advancement
as the Insufficiency of the money allowanc
would operate toward greater efforts In thel
behalf. The construction of a boardln
house near the agency proper , on Rosibu
creek , Is recmmended.
The appearance of the reservation of tli
Slascton agency Is officially characterized a
that of a broken down business enterprise
This state of affairs , says Agent Kellar , I
his review of the year , Is adjudged a gres
mistake since the Slssetons are recognize
as more advanced In civilization than nui
western tribes , and require moro care and
Judgment In the management of their af
fairs. The exemption of their lands from
taxation Is regarded as a detriment rather
than a benefit. The white men n6w' ' on the
ceded land are compelled to bear the taxa
tion largely alone , do not have proper In
terest In the welfare of their Indian neigh
bors , Imposition of all sorts are practiced ,
Times overlooked and no cno anxious to
rosecuto , because prosecution must bo paid
y the heavily taxed white men. The
oundary lines cf their lands cause much
rouble , and a now survey of all disputed
lid should be , according ti the agent's
lows , ordered by the government. Civil
utborltles hesitate to prosecute for offenses
jecause of expense , the agent because of
ack of authority , and the result Is less fear
f punishment fr pstty crimes. The social
velfaro of the Indian Is declining In many
nstancos on reservations where land Is taken
n severally. The tolal failure of all crops ,
wing to the dry season , has struck a
lerlous blow to th ° so Indians , the Yankton
rlbe In Suth Dakota being reported In a
erlous plight on account of the most dlsas-
rous crop year experienced since the occu-
ancy of the reservation. Few of the Yank-
ons are free from disease. The work ct
ho missionaries has resulted In the peaceful
nd law abiding spirit shown by the Indians.
