TOPEKA, Kun, june I2'-Superin-
tendent Snider, of the Kansas insur-
ance department, has been notified by
the secretary of the Northwestern Live
Stock Insurance Co., of Des Moines,
that the company will at once
discontinue writing insurance and
proceed to wind up its af-
fairs as rapidly as practicable.
The secretary explained that the
step was taken ON account of the
tremendous depreciation in the values
of horses, the only class of live stock
on which the company writes insur-
ance. The secretary stated further
that all claims would be settled in full.

AIlilers at West Superior VIII Exhaust
Their supply Before New Crop Moves.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, June l2,-lt Is
now believed that by the first part of
August there win not be wheat enough
at the head of the lakes to supply the

1000, 900 bushels For the past three
weeks the millers have been drawing
largely upon the elevators for
their supplies. The receipts by rail are
far short of the amount necessary for
their consumption. of the 7,0O0,OOO
bushels now in store the mills will use
at their present rate of consumption
over 5000, 900, and as the shipments ap-
proximate about 100000 per month
the supply is more than likely to be ex-
hausted before the new crop begins to

Arthur winner and Joseph w. McNntt
serve out Their CommutTd Sentence
TopEkA, Kan, June ll.--Arthur VIM
ncr, Of kansas City, and Joseph
McNutt have served ont their com
mutcd sentence. They were convicted
of murder In the first degree. Gov.
Humphrey at the end of his term re-
duced their punishment 10 twenty
years.
The Winner and McNutt ease is
probably the most famou, in the crln-
inal history Of Kansas. Early In 1913
Winner, and young McNutt went tn
Wichita, KAN, and started paint
shop. Winner was ~ years OLD ana
McNutt was 20. Soon aftcrwnrd Me-
Mutt insured his life in favor of Win
ncr for s. 900. One night few months
after the young men settled in
Wichita some one discovered that
their shop was ON fire. The
people of the town turned
out and extinguishcd the fire, but Me-
Mutt was missing The partly burned
body Of man was found In the ruins
Of the building. Winner declared that
II was McNutt, but the people of Wichi-
to did not believe him. The body was
recognized as that of tramp known
as Texas" The sudden departure Of
McNutt, and the fact that his life in
surance was In favor of Winner,
though McNutt was married and
the father Of child, excited 80
much suspicion that Winner was
arrested the next day. A few weeks
later McNutt was captured In the
woods In Newton county, Mo. They
were tried for murder. The evidence,
though circumstantial, was 80 con-
vincing that they were convicted and
sentenced by Judge w. +. Campbell,
now department commander Of Kan
sas, 10 be hanged. Under the law they
went TO the penitentiary for life.
