A most interesting insurance case has been up in district court this week. Olias. Bickwell joined the A. I'. W. in Minot in 1897 taking out $2,000 insurance making nis niece Alice Moore his beneficiary. Later he got the Klondike fever, but not having sufficient money, went to Iowa and made arrangements to have his brother Reuben stake him. In turn he was to transfer the policy to his brother and this was done, but the brother never paid liim one cent for his Klon dike trip. Bickwell did not tell Allie Moore what he had done, but instructed her to keep up the payments. He went to Seattle and after remaining- there two months boarded an old hulk of a vessel and started for Klon dike. The shif went dowu and it has since been concluded that Bickwell was drowned. This happened in 189N. Allie Moore discovered that the policy had been assigned to ilick well's bro thel- but only a security fur a loan which was never made, and brought suit against the A. .• I*. W. have deposited the moneyi with tlie court, instructing it tol pay it to the one who should* have it. Gammons -Jt Barrett appeai-ed for the plaintiff and Green leaf & I jsighton and Attv.
