DOINGS IN FEDERAL COURT KnntEon Damage Case Aprainst the North western Railway is Dismissed. COSTS TO BE PAID BY THE DEFENDANT Peculiar Htntorr Connected ivlth n Stilt Ilroiiuht Atralniit the Modern Woodmen of America 'to Col lect Iniuruiice. The trial of the damage suit of Chris Knutaon against the Chicago & Northwest ern Railway company In the federal court yesterday was brought .to a euddeu termina tion shortly after the hearing hod been re- Burned In the morning. During the exami nation of itho wlfo of the plaintiff objections were nado Involving the sufficiency of the pleadings and the attorney for Knutson made a motion for Tenvo to amend hla petition. This was overruled by Judge Woolson and the suit was at once dismissed at plaintiff's cost without prejudice. Knut son sued for $5,000 , alleging breach of con tract on the portt of the railway company to glvo him permanent employment ns compensation for Injuries ho received In a collision while In the employ of the com pany In 1893. The trial of the suit of Mrs. Jesaio Kerr of Manilla , la. , against the Modern Wood men of America wna taken up. The plain tiff sues for $3,000 Insurance on the life of her husband and the defendant order re sists on the ground that Kerr committed suicide. The policies of the Modern Wood men of America provide that If a man dies by his own hand , whether sane or Insane , It Invalidates the policy. The story of the case is a most unusual ono and Is of the sensational order. James Kerr , the de ceased husband of the plaintiff In the suit , formerly rived In Canada , where ho was married to the plaintiff. Ho bccamo sepa rated from his wlfo and In time drifted to America and settled. In Missouri. After a while ho married the daughter of a farmer In Sullivan county , .without having , It is alleged , first gone through the formality of securing a divorce from the wife In Canada. Thby had several children and Kerr bo- cnmo a prominent member of the commu nity , both in church and social circles. Ono day his bam was consumed by flro and after collecting tbo Insurance , which < waa considerable , lie Induced his wife to sign a certain paper which proved later to bo the sale of their farm. Having secured the money from the sale of the farm , Kerr suddenfy disappeared , leaving his wife and children , practically .penniless. . After ' a whllo ho turned up again at his old home In Canada , where ho became reconciled to his first wife. Tiring of life In Canada he In duced his wlfo to accompany him to America and after living for some time In South Dakota and Nebraska they located In Ma nilla in this state. Kvll DIIT Cnmen. At Manilla Kerr became engaged In bus iness as a contractor and built a number of railway bridges for the Milwaukee road , amassing qulto a llttlo money. Ho became , as before In Missouri , prominent In church and social circles and was ono of the prom inent men of the community and not one , not even his wife , had any suspicion that there was a ghastly skeleton In his closet. Ho bccamo a member of the local lodge of Modern Woodmen of America and In March , 1893 , took out a policy for life insurance for 13,000 In the order. Ho later became secretary - rotary of the lodge. One day , however , W. C. Irwln , county at torney of Sullivan county , Missouri , appeared upon the scene , accompanied by a deputy sheriff , armed with a warrant for Kerr's arrest on the charge of bigamy. Kerr asked not to let his wife know of his real mission , to which request the latter con sented. Kerr toM his wlfo that he was compelled to go to Missouri to look after a contract and Introduced Irwln as n person interested in the deal. Having secured permission from the county attorney to straighten out his private affairs before starting for Missouri , Kerr went alone to a room on the second floor of his bouse. A few minutes later a shot was heard and on Irwln rushing to the room ho found Kerr lying dead on the floor with n bullet hole through his head and a revolver clutched In his hand. On the table were twn checks with the Ink barely dry on them , ono payable to the local Woodman lodge for all of the funds In the hands of the dead man and the other payable to his wlfo for all the money he had In the bank. In n note to his wlfo ho had written that ho loved her nlono and asked that she al ways care for their only child , a son. The plaintiff bases her case on the grounds that the death of her husband was accidental and that while there was a presumption - sumption of sulcldo there was no evidence that ho had como by his death by his own hand Intentionally. A motion on tbo part of the defendant company for the court to direct a verdict for It was after a lengthy argument overruled nnd the taking of evi dence will bo commenced this morning. \VlilKli-nc-y CIIHC SiilmilHotl. The argument In the suit of the case of the United States against tbo bondsmen of rtus- Hcll Whlttlesey , to collect the amount that Whlttlesey embezzled , were submitted be fore Judge Woolson and ho took his decision under advisement. The amount Involved Is about f2,800. The bondsmen deny their lia bility on the grounds , as they claim , that Whlttlesey was retained In bis position as collector of customs at this port after the United States treasury olliclals were cog nizant of bis defalcation. They also claim that the embezzlement was committed after Whlttleaey had been dismissed from the service of the government. The suit of J. H. Kaublon against Jacob McKlssick was dismissed at plaintiff's cost for want of prosecution after the jury had been Impannelcd and was In tbo box , In thU suit tbo plaintiff sought to recover $50- 000 damages for an alleged attempt on his life In Mills county In 1S46 , McKlssick being claimed to bo tbo assailant. Faublon was shot while lying in bed In a small log hut and ae a result became a cripple for life. McKlssick , a neighbor , was suspected , but denied U and there was no proof of his guilt. Ho moved to California , where In course ot tlmo ho became wealthy. Faublon moved to Missouri , where ho has elnco resided. About a year ago McKUslck returned to bis former homo and while there Is alleged to have con fided to a friend that he shot Faublon by mistake' . This reached the ears of Faublon In Missouri , who at once brought suit for $50,000 damages. A bench warrant was ordered Issued for the arrcet of Albert , alias "Larry , " King , who last September was bound over on a charge of counterfeiting. King was arrested with n "flash" roll lu bis possession , which It Is supposed he used for tbo purpose of fleecing visitors to the exposition. The roll contained a number of fake bills so arranged as to appear genuine. Hla bond of $500 cash \\a declared forfeited. James Hoover , who pleaded guilty to boot legging , was given a suspended sentence during good behavior of four months In the county jail at Avoca. The bootlegging cases against George Zap- per , Frank Kcpncr , Fred Owens nnd John Coleman wore dismissed by the prosecuting attorney.
