KILLS PLAYMATE
WITH Wild SHOT
St. Anthony Park Boy Is Acct
dental Cause of Death of
Six-Year.OId R. Allen,

Six-year- old Robert L. Allen, of 80
Raymond place, st. Anthony Park,
was accidentally Shot and killed early
last evening by Archie Gray, who was
shooting at sparrows with a thirty
eight revolver.
The tragedy occurred in the back
yard of the Gray boys house, 1866 Ev-
erett court.
Ache Gray, who is fourteen years
old; his brother, Grant, aged eleven,
and Robert Allen were together about
6 o'clock when the fatal shot was fired.
Archie had obtained a revolver from
his fathers house and bought a box
of cartridges, intending to shoot some
SparroWs.
The revolver, which was double
action affair, at first refused to work.
Archie made several Intellectual at
tempts to pull the trigger. Finally he
succeeded.
Just as the hammer fell on the car
fridge, the Allen boy passed in front of
the revolver The bullet struck him
right over the heart.
The little fellow shrieked, staggered
a few steps and fell to the ground.
Mrs. Turner, a neighbor, who heard
the report, rushed into the yard and
picking up the boy carried him into the
Gray house. He lived but few min
utes.
Coroner Miller was notified and
viewed the remains. In all probability
no inquest will be held.
The body was taken to the home of
the boys father, A E. Allen, of the
firm of Allen Bros, grocers, 1043 Ray
mond avenue.
Archie Gray is the son of William
Gray, general yardmaster at the Min
nesota Transfer. The boy is crazed
with grief over the awful accident.

INSURANCE MEN GET
A STAGGERING BLOW
Wisconsin Commissioner Gives
Decision Whole Country
Was Looking For.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 31.-In-
surance Commissioner Zeno NJ. Host
today decided that mutual life insur-
ance companies doing business in this
state must distribute their surplus
among the policy holders at least once
in five years. The decision affects
many companies in this country and
involves some $3OO,O00,0O0 which has
been withheld by companies doing
business in Wisconsin. That the
stand of Mr.. Host will be fought by
the insurance companies there is no
doubt, and eventually it will reach the
highest courts.
The outcome of the case has been
watched for months by every company
in the country. and if the commission
er's stand is sustained by the courts it
will cause a shake-up in E<.!rance cir
cles such as has never been seen. 1t
will, according to well known in
surance man, make it possible for
heirs of dead people to claim surpluses
and compound interests that have been
withheld. and endless litigation is
probable.
There are mutual companies in this
state that divide their surplus in one.
two, three or five years. and they will
not be affected. Others provide for a
distribution at the end of twenty
years These latter policies are in
cluded under the decision.
The decision came ma test case on
complaint made by l.. A Brunck-
horst, of Milwaukee, against the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society of the
United States, of New York. The kind
of policies that will be affected to the
greatest extent are those known as the
"tontine,'' wherein policy holder and
insurance company enter into a con-
tract by the terms of which the earn
ings of the policy are to be paid at the
end of a term of years, generally twen-
ty. By the terms of the policy the pol
icy holder, should he lapse in his pay
ments of premiums in the meantime.
all the money that he has paid in, to-
gether with the interest earned thereby,
goes to swell the "tontine" class fund,
and is distributed pro rata among the
policy holders when the time arrives
for the payment of the interest under
the contract.
In case of the death of the holder
of "tontine" policy before the time
for the payment of the earnings, the
heirs and benefciaries receive the face
value of the policy and the accumu-
lated earnings, If any there be. are
placed to the credit of the 'tontine"
fund and are distributed when the in
terest becomes due, at the expiration
of the term of years for which the pol
ley is "tontined."

The Globe has had its corre-
spondents in all parts of Minnesota and
the Dakotas compile from the best sta
tistics obtainable figures showing the
probable yield of wheat, oats, barley
and corn. While a reliable estimate of
the acreage sown could not in all cases
be obtained, it is indicated by the re-
turns that there was from to 10 per
cent less land sown to wheat than last
year.
The estimates have as yet not all
been received, but there is sufficient
data at hand to give a fair approxis
mate forecast of the expected yield.
Forty counties in Minnesota indicate
an average for wheat of 1853 and 38.5
for oats; 81 give the average for bar
ley at 1915 and 35 put the average for
