In conservation with d. B. Compton,
the local agent for the st. Paul Fire
and Marine Insurance company, last
evening we learned that the storm of
Tuesday evening was quite general all
over the county and vast amount of
hail fell. Up to the time of our CONVEX
sation with him there had been seventy
five losses reported direct to him in his
company and he said probably as many
more had been sent to he general Office
Of the company. The losses were esti-
mated by the insured all the way from
forty to one hundred per cent. This is
only one company and there are many
doing business in this county. Besides
there are numerous farmers who carry
no insurance at all. 1t is possible that
the hail loss in Day county by the one
storm win reach many thousand dol
lars.
