Action by Mrs. Evie Youngblood against the Independent Order of Puritans. From an adverse judgment, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.

Will S. Payne, of Abilene, for appellant. Kirby King, of Abilene, for appellee.


Appellant sued appellee upon a policy of insurance seeking a recovery of $500. The petition upon its face discloses that a recovery for more than $70 could not be had.
