known as the "F'illaloo' bird that
hides his bill in the sand when he has
acted the sneak and the part of the
cur, now that the public may believe
Swanson and his brainy man Kind
lund, I will say that + did adjust his
loss as stated and that Mr.. Swanson
has never received cent on that ad-
justment and that he never will re-
ceive anything from me or from the
Fire & Marine Insurance Co. In my
judgement he is more deserving of a
place in the penitentiary than any
thing else.
Now, I will further say that when I
made the adjustment Swanson signed
and swore to an affidavit stating that
his horses were killed by windstorm,
when in fact the horses got scared in
the pasture and ran into the wire
fence and got cut SO that they died,
and Swanson said he buried them at
once. This discovery of the real
cause of their death was only made
after adjustment was made. Three
different men said to me that they
saw horses run into the wire and that
that was the real cause of their death.
and this Swanson admitted to me
shortly afterwards almost to the let
ter. That is why he did not get any
money; simply because there is no in
surance company that will insure
against wire fences unless Kindlund
and the Alliance Co., which claims to
assess it's members at sufficient per
acre to pay the losses, but in some
mysterious way, it seems that COM
pany is piling up a capital. Where
Go they get it from, people' Just

Now, this bright business man, (O
Mr.. K, comes out and has all that
published to try to build up his own
business by trying to pull down 9TH
er peoples business. Did you ever
know or hear of building rising up
by pulling down another, where there
was neither labor, material or brains
to construct it? This is the man K.
to the full extent of his calibre. He
has nothing good to offer for himself
or his company to help build up a
business for himself, and all that he
knows, as can be gathered from his
acts, is to work something on the
ground hog plan, poking his facial
protuberance into other peoples bus
mess. To my judgment these are
only the manner, mode and tactics
a sneak, puppie and a double bar
relied cur would empty to help him
self out.
Readers. you all know that if Mr..
Swanson had a claim against the
Fire & Marine Co., he would have no
need to wait three years and say
nothing and do nothing in the way
of collecting it, but I am satisfied he
knows he lied and that he has not
nor ever had any claim against the
company.
have paid to the people Of these
Southwe stern Minnesota counties
more than $4,000 for said company
on farm losses and you have never
known me to try to do business on
other companies and other agents
merits. If [ can't build up on my
own don attempt to pull down.
IF [ have nothing good to offer will
tend TO- my own business.
That act of MIR. X. is a sure sign
that am the one who is doing the
business and not he, otherwise he
would not notice me in the field just
as do not know he is in the field.
If [ thought he had any business
ability and was capahly of telling the
truth I would give him job working
for me in a GOOD company.
