BRINGS SUIT

Anna McLane vs. The Metropolitan Insurance Co. Complaint on Contract. Demand $1,100.Tuesday, March 31, 1903

BRINGS SUIT
----------
For Payment of Insurance Policy -- Asks for
Face Value of Policy and $100.
----------
The above is the title of a case that has been filed in the Shelby County Circuit Court. The complaint alleges that the late William McLane was the holder of an insurance policy for $1,000 in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and his widow, through her attorneys, has brought suit for $1,100, the $100 extra as insurance on the policy.
This policy was taken out with the above company on October 11th, 1902, and Mr. McLane died on December 9th, 1902, not quite two months after the policy was taken out.
The company, like most other insurance companies, has a clause in each policy in which to protect itself. This clause provides that no policy in the Metropolitan Company shall be paid where a policy holder commits suicide within two years after the policy has been issued.
It will be remembered that the death of William McLane occurred on December 9th last year, and that it was very sudden. It has been said that for quite a while before and up to that time Mr. McLane had been suffering considerably with pains about the heart, and that occasionally he took laudanum to relieve his suffering and induce sleep. It was supposed that on the night of his death he took an overdose of the drug, and shortly after he retired he was taken quite ill and continued to grow worse until his death.
If the company should establish the claim that he took laudanum with the intention of suicide then the defendents would win the suit.
The case will be watched with much interest by the people when it is called for hearing.

Goosetown is improving. Riley Fulford has recently bought three lots of Alex. McClain, administrator of James McClain’s estate, lying on the north side of East Pennsylvania street, near its intersection with Vine, and is going to fence them in and fill up the bayou portion thereof. The said bayou is doomed to disappear and the goose pond in the corporation limits will soon be a mere recollection of the past.Thursday, April 13, 1882
