Insurance Companies Sued for Falsel!
Charging Arson.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Damage suits for
sums aggregating nearly $1,000, 900 were
instituted today by Joseph Fish, an in
surance adjuster; his clerk, Henry
Sent, and Samuel Freeman, of the
Freeman Fire company, all of whom
were acquitted recently of a charge of
conspiracy to commit arson. They
claim the insurance companies caused
their arrest.
Mr. Fish demands $S25,OOO from fif-
teen insurance companies, all of whom
had issued insurance policies on Free
mans fur store. which was destroyed
by fire about a year ago. The fire was
followed by all the plaintiffs in the
damage suits being indicted, not only
for conspiring TO commit arson. but
for the commission of the crime.
Mr.. Freeman asks damages in the
sum of 100000 from the same insurance
companies, and Semi demands $4,000.

he sees no reason why they should be

GOLD PAVED STREETS.

the streets of Spearfish are actually
paved with gold. City Engineer Gates
has computed the probable amount at
about 500 for each 100 feet from curb
to curb, or $500 per block. This is
caused by the city authorities of Spear
fish using the tailings from the cyanide
mills to pave the streets. These tail
ings contain about 10 per cent of the
gold that was originally in the ore, for
Is per cent of the gold is lost by the
