matter of suspicion on the part of the
officer that two men intended stealing the
sacks of grain One of the men ran away.

with proof, and the county is simply
m ulcted to the extent of $50 or $70.'

INSURANCE RITES.
n Representative of the State
Board Orders Them
RaisedIn Little Falls.

The circular to insurance agents,
ordering a uniform increase of 20
per cent, published in the Transcript
a few weeks ago, has never been
enforced. as the insurance authorities
decided to carefully re-rate the town.
Judge William B. Leach, of Mime
apOlis has been in the city the past
few days as a representative of the
state board, and the insurance rates
have been changed, and the result is
a general increase. The insurance
business has been Improbable in
Little Falls as we'll as other sections,
during the past few years, and
companies are compelled to obtain
higher rates.
