POLICIES WERE STOLEN.
Iowa Insurance Company Says a
Fraud Is Being Worked.

Insurance Commissioner Dearth yesterday
received call from President Windsor. of the
State Fire Insurance company, Of Des Moines
To-, who complains that the company is in
receipt of policies purporting to be issued
by that company, filled out on blanks, which
it has been discovered, were stolen from the
Office of of the firms former agents in
the southern part Of the state.
AS matter of fact the company withdrew
from the state three years ago last month,
and has not since solicited business here.
The officials Of the company have a clue
to the supposed agent which, it is thought
will result in the early apprehension of the
man a charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses The fact, however, that all
his transactions with the holders of bogus
policies, so far as known, were done by mail,
may impede the wheels of justice somewhat.

YARNS OF THE RAIL.

when I read of that fire in a wreck north
of the city in this mornings G ] o b e,'' said
yesterday, Il was reminded Of an incident
which occurred a few years ago while John
NJ. Egan was general manager Of the Great
Western. One of the freight or transfer
trains on that road spilled over en-
bankment in st. Anthony Park, one of the
cars hanging over bridge in position that
it made it very unhandy to hoist it to the
roadway again. 1t was rather picturesque
m1X-up of terra Gotta colored box cars and
midsummer foliage, and 1 took a snapshot
of it before the wreckers came along. Some
ture to Mr.. Egan, casually, and he inquired
unnecessarily, in view of the fact that the
picture spoke for ITSELF
Were those cars in that shape? They
told me they were all smashed up, and they
just burned the debris, as it was not worth
saving"
shortly after that.
Apropos, similarly of the chance incidents
roads, local official tells the following:
Two drummers were standing on the plat
form of little station in Southern Mime
sofa awaiting the arrival of somewhat un-
steady but not inconyenient day way train.
Game down the limited said one Of
them. Funniest train in the business. Part
of the time we came like the wind, and then
again you could get out and write your name
on the telegraph poles, almost"
The division superintendent happened to be
within earshot and half carelessly, half
ENORMOUSLY, enlsting in the conversation,
found the localities where the fast and the
slow time were made. 1t was then apparent
that the engineer was playing for coal
record" taking advantage of all the long
down grades, says and prairies where the
wind might help, to save coal, and get a
good showing on the blue print at the end
of the month. A few days later, however, d
bulletin was posted to inform engineers, espe-
cially of passenger trains, to keep wheeling
en-" and let the coal records take care Of
themselves.

his father, David Swank, for assault and
