Damage suit ends in demurrer for Old Colony Insurance case
The Old Colony Insurance Company suit against Kansas Public Service Company ended when a demurrer to the plaintiff's evidence was sustained by District Judge Hugh Means. The case sought recovery of money paid to M. S. Winter for damages from an explosion alleged to be caused by gas from the defendant's mains. The judge ruled the grounds valid as the property title rested with Mrs. M S. Winter though the policy was held by her husband. It was the last jury trial of the term and a bar meeting will be called to consider further cases.
