will be seriously centended that IL these
brokers had in fact given their due-bfll Tor
the premium when the policy was delivered
an endorsement to that effect onsfhe policy
would be NECESSARY to charge the company
with liability,
In our opinion, the charge on book, I'M
der the circumstances, made as 1t WIS IN the
usual course OF business according to the
custom of the trade, known and asserted to
by the officers of the company, is to be
treated as the equivalent OF payment, and
not rs the waiver OF the condition only.
Certainly the acceptance OF note for the
amount would have been such an eqliva-
lent; and we can see no difference in prin-
cip1e between that case and this. The
brokers would be as much liable for the
payment Of the premium in the one case as
in the other.
II by any chance the premium could not
be collected, ample protection was furnish.

the risk by that clause in the policy which
authorizes its termination at the option OF

MlNCE.
MEN KILLED BY INDIANS EVERY DAY-So GOLD
WORTH SPEAKING OF.
MIySEAPoLIs, May 20.-The Tribune this
afternoon publishes the following facts from
Israel Halves, Just arrived this noon from
the Black Hills. He corroborates the state
ments OF the rumors n'regard to the Indian
scalping stories, and adds that they are not
half as startling as the facts. lie helped bury
persons killed by the Indians every day.
The bodies OF those murdered are always
found with six bulIet-holes and six knife
stabs in them, besides the loss OF the scalp,
which they take of by cutting the head open
in the shape OF letter V from the back OF the
head down to the eyes, which presents n
Notwithstanding sight. He claims to have had
some narrow escapes. One party OF them
went out and were attacked by the red.
skins, but they were such poor shots that
no harm was done. He says Indians are as
"thick As flies around q mOlaSscs keg."
Every party that attempts to leave or enter
the Hills are attacked, and more or less fall
victims. One party OF twenty-five attempted
to escape, and only one lived to tell the
story OF how they were butchered and
scalpcd. More parties are leaving every day
than arrive in week There are some five
thousand men in the hills, among whom are
probably fifty that are making twenty dol
lars per day to 1000 who make one dollar
One party Of eight men set their sluice going
at noon and worked till shutdown, and their
total earnings were fifteen cents. There
were sixty-thrce men in bis party who went
into thc Hills. Seven will never return, and
four were lost coming ont. None OF bis
party returned with enough to pay their
expenses. The cities that were the glory OF
the Hills on the start are rs dead as though
they never existed. There are only two
paying claims on Rapid creek. One OF these
turns out about two dollars and half each
day per man, others three dollars per man.
Claims were sold in Dcadwood previous to
january for 800.
