PAGE TWO — MORTONCOUNTY | ~ GAS ORDERED | POR NEW TRIAL Cases of ‘50° Perséns Suing: For | Crop Loss Insurance Af- fected by Order, JURY ACTION INVOLVED! The supreme court, in a decision handed down late yesterday, reversed and ordered a new trial! in the case of Dick: Wilkins against the National) Union Fire Insurance company, of} Pittsburgh, Pa., growing out of alleged loss to crop in Morton county by drouth. Fifty other cases were affect- ed, District Judge Cooley, who sat in the case, wrote the opinion, holding that the insurance company’s’ contention that the same jurors could sot sit suc- cessively on cases against it involving the same principle, was sound. The Wilkins case, which involved claim for damages on account of dam- age to crops under a policy which was issued by the National Union Fire In- ‘surance Company, is similar to a great many other such cases arriving from losses: alleged to have been.sustained y farmers in the western part of the state. fi Attorneys for about 50, policy holders filed a statement in the Morton county district court, from’ which the case came to the supreme ‘court, offering to return to:the insurance ‘company all moneys received by policy holders in settlement of their loss, with-inferest, “upon the ground that such settle- ments and compromise Were procured by your agents through fraud, deceit, false representations and undue influ- ence.” e "The original complaint in the Wil- kins case claimed that‘about June 1, 1917, he insured with the National Union Fire Insurance company. of Pittsburg, Pa.; against loss.or damage} to crops and floods and winter kill, in the amount of $1,617.00, and that he paid.a premium, of $161.70. The pol- icy was executed upon crops in Mor. ton county. Alleged Partial Failure. Thereafter, Wilkins alleged,’ there was a partial failure caused by hail. drouth, dry weather and hot winds, and declared insurance was due, be- cause of this damage to his crops. He alleged that in October, 1917, an ad- juster of the company represented that the company was in financial straights, unable to pay the loss and persuaded ‘Wilkins to accept the amoint of his premium in return. i ‘The answer: of the insurance com- pany alleged that the policy was avold- ed because of misrepresentation to the effect that his crops were in good con dition, whereas at the time of the mak- ing of the, application the crops were materially damaged by drought and other catises, and) that upon learning of this alleged misrepresentation the insurance company denied Hability un- der the Policy but offered to pay the Daintitt the premium on it, and the offer was accepted. It denied misrep- resentation or fraud by its adjuster. In district court Wilkins got a judg- ment for $644.73. He had asked $813, minug the returned amount of , the premium of $164.70. “Judge Lembk« presided at the trial. Among the allegations made in the appeal was that there were about 40 such cases in the district court, that after the first case was tried many jurors who had on that case were call- ‘ed in subsequent cases, some jurors sitting in six or eight cases, all sub- stantially the same.
