Some time ago many Rock county to-
bocco growers were threatened with suits
If they did not pay certain assessments
levied upon the policy holders by the
company for alleged losses by hail. This
same state of affairs did not prevail alone
in GAINESVILLE. There was trouble of the
same kind in other portions of the state.
A test case has just been tried at Bara-
boo, Wis, before a jury, and a verdict
was rendered in favor Of the defendant.
The title of the case was the United
Farmers Township and Mutual Hail In
surance company against Calvin Whine.
The suit was brought to compel the de-
PENDANT to pay his special assessment for
the loss sustained by hail. Malcolm 0.

he feels very jubilant over. the outcome
of the case. The action is similar to
those threatened in this county and no

would find for the insurance company
under the existing circumstance.-Re-
