Kates notes:  I have not been able to ascertain a firm identity for Fannie Gilleland and her husband. The headline was written Fannie Gilliland yet in the text of the article her surname appeared as Gilleland. There were both Fannie Gillilands and Gillelands living in Oklahoma Territory around that time so without more information I would not hazard a guess.

TO THE JURY.

 In the District Court Mrs. Gilliland gets
Verdict for $1074
_____________

   In the case of Fannie Gilleland versus Woodmen of the World, the testimony was all introduced yesterday afternoon and the courts instructions to the jury and the arguments were made this morning and the case went to the jury. The point at issue is to the sanity of Gilleland at the time of his death and for the few days before he died.
   The contention of the Woodmens attorney is that he allowed his payment on his policy to lapse because he was addicted to the inordinate use of cocaine which would vitiate the policy in itself. The plaintiff introduced a large number of witnesses to show that he was insane and that from this cause the policy was extended three months and that his non-payment can not be considered as causing a lapse of the policy.
   The arguments in the Gilleland case were finished at noon and the case given to the jury. After bring out about half an hour they announced that they had agreed on a verdict and the verdict was returned when court resumed at 2:15. The verdict was in favor of Mrs. Gilleland for $1,074, the full amount claimed on the policy. The attorney for the Woodmen announced that he would make a motion for a new trial and that the case would be appealed.
