The Insurance Index, also Of New

where recognized among insurance
men as one Of the ablest underwrit-
ers living, and his advice and opinions
are eagerly sought by his colleagues
in the insurance business"
Only recently Mr.. Washburn cele-

surprise by presenting him unique

contained the following in it's report
Of this happy anniversary incident:

A Change of Presidents.
The company entered almost at
once into the new and UNEMPLOYED
field Of general agency business. In
less than two years the experiment
showed unfavorable results and
brought about such a disagreement as
to the policy Of the management that
President LOOMS resigned. A gen
eral reorganization of the agency
system was undertaken by the direc-

ceeded to the presidency. Success fol-
lowed until, in 1858, the capital was
increased by the addition Of $780,
600, followedin 1859 by an increase to
$1,000,OOO. In 1864 the capital was
doubled, and the board of directors
showed their confidence in the stabil-
ity of the government by investing the
entire $1,0OO,OOO of new capital in
United States bonds.

In the great Chicago fire in Oc-

this loss was over 100000. This was

surplus of s128,000 in addition to it's
capital Of s2,500,000. An examination
Of the company's condition showed an
impairment of the capital by the
losses incurred at Chicago to the ex-
tent of go per cent, and resulted in a
call upon the stockholders for an as
sessment at that rate. The 1900 900
thus required was promptly paid up,
and the company commenced the year
1872 with restored capital and in
creased prestige in view of the fact
that so many companies had been
ruined by the terrible conf1agration.
In the following July the regular 5

where, including several that had been
recognized after the Chicago disaster.
The loss of the Home at Boston was
about $75O,0OO, after deducting rein

holders, but the two semiannual divi-
dends for 1878 were passed.

Krafczyk Wins Out.

In the decision handed down by the
supreme court on Tuesday, October 20:
The decision of Judge Ludwig that
the will of James Hanley should be pro
bated was affirmed This practically sus-
tains the contentious of Joseph Krafczyk,
the defendant in the suit brought by
Michael Hanley, son of James Hanley.
Krafezyk is present occupant of part
of the property.
James Hanley was at one time owner
of five acres of land in the Third ward
of the present city of WauwatOsa. He
died in 1872, and his viii was filed by
the widow. Later the widow married an
old soldier by the name of Dodge, and
the property was purchased on "A tax
deed and subsequently divided and sold
in various parcels.
Ejectment suit was brought by
Michael Hanley, az one of the heirs of
James Hanley, to gain possession of the
property. The case went before Judge
Mann with regard to the probating Of
the will, but the judge died before decid-
ing it. Judge Pereles denied the will to
probate and an appeal was taken to cir
cult court. Judge Johnson affirmed the
decision of probate court, but died be-
fore signing the findings. Judge Ludwig,
before whom the case was then taken,
decided that the will should be admitted
to probate.
