W. L Buckner Files Suit Against
Mutual Reserve - Life . ; ?
Company.
CHARGE COMES AS AN
, ANSWER TO A SUIT
Sued on Note Given to Company,
Buckner Retaliate! by Alleging
That Company Haa Been Guilty of
Gross Fraud.
Fraud In tha methods of the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance company la
- charged by W. L. Buckner In a suit that
Is on trial- before a Jury In Judge
Cleland's department of the state cir
cuit court today. The suit waa brought
agalnat Buckner by the Morgan Mer
cantile agency to collect a note for
111.25 that Buckn.'r had given to the
life insurance company as the first
premium on a $5,000 policy.
In defense, Buckner alleges that M.
-T. Ifody, the agent tor the Mutual .ReH
serve company, represented to him that
he. would give him a 15.000 policy, to
be paid for In IS payments, and would
Include In It a "apeclar renewal eon
tract" by which Bnckncr was to be ap
pointed an "executive agent'' of the
company. By means of this contract
there would be a-vstm -of rebates
that a the course of seven or eight
years would be enough to psy the
annual premium of Sltl.SS, 'and give
Buckner something In addition.
There were to be only SOS of these
contracts sold In nine western states,
and Buckner waa to be one of the
favored 500. It wan learned later, says
Buckner, that the dml wis fraudulent
He states that the Mutual Reserve was
barred from doing business In tlx of
the nine ' ststes In which the special 1
contracts .were to be sold. The x
state that have barred tha Mutual Re-
. serve are said to be Colorado. Montana,
Wyoming. Utah, Nevada and Ariiona.
Buckner did not want his insurance,
nor his appointment as executive agent,
he says, when he learned that the deal
waa fraudulent He asks to be relieved
from paving tha ante. Attorney W. O.
Hayes and John Ft Logan appear' for
Buckner,
