siding in Independence, Wis, for sew
eral years came to North Dakota in
1881. For some time they occupied
t lie largest house west Of Devils Lake
in Ramsey county. They settled on
their farm months before the govern.
ment survey was made. Mis-. Blanch-

is nearly IS years of age, and the fol-
lowing children: George A. Mer-

The Ramsey Milling Company's
Loss Paid in Full.

Wednesday the sum of seven thous-
and four hundred and fifty dollars was
paid the Ramsey Milling company by
the various insurance companies that
were on the risk. The policies were
only renewed a few days before the
fire, and it is certainly very commen-
dable on the part of the insurance
companies to meet the loss in such a
business-like way. Tie insurance
was carried in the agencies of A. M.
Powell and C. Nj. Fisher. The losses
were paid as follows:
Queen, -, 24O.
Niagara, 81, $40.
Home of New York $1,340
No delay in making loans of John
w. Maher. You get your money as
soon as papers are executed.
Firemens Fun,l, 81, 900
Phoenix Of London, 81, $40
With such d neat bundle Of cash,
it is hoped that the milling company
will at once rebuild 1t is fortunate
for all interested that the insurance
was carried in ''old line companies
There is no need Of any business mar
Or farmer going outside Of Devils
Lake for insurance. The very best
companies in the world are represent
ed here
