against losses to their crops by hail
storms. a number Of farmers in this
county took out insurance policies. sign
ing notes in blank for the payment of the
premiums. The hail storms never came,
and subsequently, it is claimed by the
farmers, it was found that the insurance
could not have paid the insurance had
the storms demolished their crops Hence
they alleged fraud and have refused to
pay the notes. AS result Of this action
the Mutual Equitable Hail Insurance
company some time ago filed suits 10 col
