THE INSURANCE
Sylvester Davis is Paid the Ad-
justed Loss on the Park
Hotel in Full.
He Declares that Beard Never
Will Receive His One
Fourth Share.

Sylvester Davis, owner of three
fourths of the Park Hotel property
and all of the clothing and hotel ef-
fects in the hotel at the time of the
fire, has been paid the full amount Of
the adjusted insurance, $2,O77.51. The
insurance of ex-President j. A. Beard
has not been paid and probably never
will be.
Davis insurance money was turned
over to Mrs. Davis on the morning of
Saturday, July 20th, in the office of
Attorney Geo. W. Somerville of Sleepy
Eye, who was acting as attorney for
Mrs. Davis, to whom the insurance
was assigned by Sylvester Davis short
]y after the fire.
The drafts for the insurance were
paid by Mr.. j. j. Windle, State agent
of the London & Liverpool & Globe
Insurance company and Mr.. w. J.
Greer, representing the New York
Underwriters. The draft turned over
by Mr.. Windle was for $1,476 81, the
adjusted insurance on the hotel build
ing and the draft turned over by Mr..
Greer, representing the New York Un-
derwriters, was for $6O1.OO the ad-
justed insurance on the hotel effects.
The insurance carried on the build
ing was $4,000, $500 of which was car
ried by J. A. Beard, owning one
fourth interest, and the other $2,4OO
carried by Sylvester Davis, owning a
three-quarters interest. The amount
carried on the household effects was
81, 100, all by Sylvester Davis.
Messrs. Windle and Greer drove to
the Davis farm in Sheridan on the af-
ternoon of July 18 and remained there
until nearly midnight. Returning to
Redwood Falls they retired for few
hours, after which they drove to Fair
fax and from there to Sleepy Eye,
meeting Mrs. Davis at Mr.. Somerville'
office on Saturday morning, when the
money was adjusted.
Just what the conditions of turning
over the insurance to Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis were is matter of doubt, and
no one but the parties directly inter-
ested probably know. Sylvester Davis
was in the city last Monday and when
asked whether the insurance had been
paid to Beard, said:
:No, sir, and it never will be. Beard
dare not commence suit for the insur-
ance money. If he does we'll fix him
and don't you forget it. They Beard
and Gleason) thought they were run
ming up against an easy mark when
they ran against me but they have
carried their game too far, and now
propose to have an inning. I am on
top"
1t is evident that the agents have
the woodchuck properly treed and
that the checkmate move is ready.
Gleason, who is connected with the
matter, was at Benson when last heard
of.

Arguments on the application will be

When the line was taken from the hands
of the receivers of the Union Pacific, they
claimed that it was running $4,000 a
month behind expenses.
Receiver Trumbull has put it on a pay

Whether it is big bluff movement to
force the new owners of the A., T. & 8. F.

Frisco and A. d P. stock new held by

FINISHED HIS CAREER.
Lord sholtO Douglas was Kissed on
the stage at san Francisco.

San Francisco, Dec. 16.-Lord Sholto
Douglas finished his career as an actor in
this city last night by being hissed off the
stage. As the curtain was about to 60
down at the close of the last act, the lord
read speech on the reprehensible meth
ods of the newspapers on account of
their failure to view his theatrical venture
seriously. Douglas called people names
and oltogether it was the most laughable
comedy enacted since the youngest son
Of the Marquis of Queensbury became a
footlight favorite.
