The Covenant Mutual Life Association
ut a special meeting of it's policy holders
at Galesburg, H., voted to surrender It's
charter and transfer it's insurance busl-
ness to the Northwestern Life Assurance
Company of Chicago. This action was
taken on recommendation Of the officers
with the support of large majority OF
the members. Statements were made by
President w. H. Smollinger and Secre-
tary B. f. Reinmund of the Covenant
company and by President c. d. Mable
and Secretary r. e. Sackett of the
Northwestern, outlining the plan OF re-
insurance, which admits the Covenant
members without examination into the
Northwestern. The Covenant Mutual
Life Association has about 10000 mem
bers. 1t was organized originally as an
Odd Fellows insurance society On the
assessment plan. Several years ago it
was found that the low assessments
were not sufficient. A rise was followed
by vigorous protests. Another rise was
necessary two years ago and the COM
pany has been losing members and gain
ing liabilities ever since.

Indians in Northern British Columbia
Terrify the Settlers.
News has been received from northern
British Columbia of serious disaffectlon
of Indians in the Tatla lake district OF
Chilcot. This is in country where the
tribesmen have for the past two years
been decidedly restless, owing to the
fact that the country is but sparseiy
policed. The present trouble arose re-
Gently, the immediate cause being the
erection of a fence by John Franklin at
Tatla lake. The Indians objected, saying
they owned all that country and dld not
want white men there. They burned the
fences, drove off the cattle and tried TO
scare the white people away. Later they
threatened to kill all the settlers ID that
neighborhood Their animoslty was
strongest against Fred Elkins, whose
brother was murdered by the same IN
dams two years ago, for which the ring
leader is now serving life sentence. a
fight followed, in which the whites TOOK
refuge in their barricaded CABINS uhtll
the Indians smashed them in with axes.
Two Indians were shot. Eight families
then started for Alexis creek, the mead
quarters Of the local police. When ABOUT
three miles out they were again attacked.
They gave themselves up for lost, put
were saved, through the Intervention OF
friendly Indian.
