NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., July 15.-
Christopher Anderson, an old resident
Of this city, who moved to Lincoln

death of his wife two years ago, when
he moved to Lincoln and took I'D his
residence with his son. He was a mer-

MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Court Decides that They Cannot Limit
Liability of Members.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 15.-The SUI
preme court has decided that mutual
insurance companies cannot limit the
liability of it's members. This opinion
is delivered in the case of Morgan
against the Hog Raisers' Mutual In
surance company. Morgan had a con-
tract with the company which limited
his liability. An epidemic caused the
claims against the company to exceed
the assets by $4,000 and the officers
sought to collect this sum, notwith-
standing it exceeded the total limit
of liability.
The court says that members of a
mutual insurance company are obli-
gated to pay all assessments necessary
to liquidate losses and expenses of
management and that it is the duty
of the directors to make an assessment
whenever necessary, and, further, that
II this assessment is not paid within
Shirty days suit may be commenke,.
under the law. The court holds that
there is no merit in the contention
OF the objecting members that be-
cause the contracts are limited as to
liability they cannot be held liable for
the full amount of the losses.

MILEAGE or THE COUNTIES.
Nebraska Industrial Department Figures
Railroad Facts.


LINCOLN, Neb., July 15.-The de-
partment of labor and industrial sta
tistics has completed a compilation
showing the number OF square miles
of territory, date of permanent Or
ganiZation and number of miles of rail-
road for every county in the state.
This information was obtained from
various sources. The railroad statis-
tics were compiled from the official
records of the auditors Office, the fig
ures relating to square mileage from
the state survey and the dates of or
ganiaztion from histories, county and
judicial officials and early settlers.
The dates Of county organization
comprise an entirely new feature of
Nebraska statistical information. 1t
was necessary for the compilers to
consult every source Of information to
get the correct dates, and very often
these sources gave conflicting accounts.
In Knox county, for example, the
first organization was destroyed by In
dians and the next establishment be-
came confused with the military
force stationed in the county In such
instance the date Of permanent Or
ganization was accepted The figures
given in the report have been verified
and they will soon be officially pub
lished by the state.
