The Walhalla AIountaineer saws yth

The Walhalla Mountaineer says :.that
old Red Bear, Chippewa chief to whom
the government many years ago gave
section 16 in that township, has come
back from Turtle Mountain and has with
his shot gun and tepee taken possession
Of the land with the intention of holding
it. The land in question is claimed By
II. r. Vaughn, who bases his right on a
deed from Red Bear. Some litigation
was had several years ago in which H.
A. Mayo also claimed to have purchased
the land from Red Bear. We1believe
Red Bear denied selling thei land tc
Vaughn and therewas a question broueh,
up as to whether Red Bear could sell il
at all or not. We think the suit was de-
cided in favor of Vaughn, but Red Bear
seems to think that he has rights there
yet.

(editor Hager, you present a legal
problem to us that we are compelled to-
referto you as an attorney, as only a
person learned in the law can solve it.
Its this riding to the drift Of your
sarcastic remarks we take it:
/. That in order to understand law,
one must first be a5lawyer.
2. To be a lawyer, one must first un-
derstand law. S s5s
h It looks to us that the only solution Of
this SEEMING paradox Of two efrsts" is
to add another:
8. First serve a term as police magis-
trate. 5i s 33s'
And here is another series Of strictly
legal propositions that follow from the
above
/. Ignorance Of the is an excuse
for no man." 4: s.. s..s
2. Common folks (like editors and
such) cannot understand law.
8. Only lawyers can construe law.
4. Therefore, common people (like
editors and such) must 60 TO lawyers
and pay fees.
Again, most laws are passed by legis-
lators who are not lawyers. II, then,
lawyers are not OF the fountain head,
they must be extraneous matter in the
stream, perhaps dam or something Of
equal worth; and when the stream gets
muddy, they clear it up with their ener-
getic actions and evolutions.
We will not, however, at this time ask
any more questions of our learned
brother (editorially speaking) for we
might get a bill for fees, which we are
lily able to pay just now, SO will have to
go it blind until the fall crop is available.
And now abideth at st. Thomas these
three: Editor Hager, Attorney Hage1
and Police Justice Hager, but the great
est of these is Grant S. Hager. Amen

DON'T.

Mi. Farmer, don't insure your crops
against loss by hail in an unreliable for.
eign company, or in mutual insurance
company without looking up the law on
the subject. Don't sign notes unless YOU
consult your attorney and find out Just
how much your liability will be.
Read the following taken from the laws
passed at the last session Of the legisla-
ture and then consult an attorney on the
other points involved. He will probably
tell you as we do, "Don't.''
Section 3137 of the Code now reads !:
Cash Premium or Note Given for Insur.
ance. Conditions OF Policy. Every per-
son insuring grain againstj loss or dam
age by hail, shall, except when a cash
premium IS paid, execute and deliver to
such company his promissory note bear
ing even date with the policy issued to
him therefor, which note shall be secured
by real or chattel mortgage, security on
property located in the county where the
insured resides, Of double value of such
note, which note or cash shall not be a
limit to the liability Of the person SO In
sure sured. In case Of insurance against loss
or damage by hail the directors Of such
company may issue policies signed by
the president and secretary agreeing in
the name Of the company to pay all
