Too Much for Fish Warden.

An interesting story comes from
Stamford, VT, regarding fisherman
who was held up the other day by
fish warden. The fisherman was
Michael Flynn, 50. of Pownal, VT. n
veteran of the civil war, who saw
much hard service. and In whose
makeup there is no such thing as
fear. The story is that the warden
was getting ready to make search.
to which the aged angler objected.
whereupon the warden drew reVol-
yer to emphasize his authority and de-
termination. Mr.. Flynn smilingly re-
marked that he had faced that sort
of thing before at the same time
quietly pulling a dangerous-lo looking
weapon from his hip pocket. He then
invited the warden to stand back
few PAGES for the purpose of exchang-
ing shots ON the good old dueling
plan, but the invitation was not &C.
cepted. and it is understood that Mr..
Flynn took home what trout ne
aught.-Springfield Republican.

Dividends on the stock are limited to

Estimates of the amount paid by

vary from s1,000,000 to $4,000, 900.
Nobody has said less than million,
Now the financiers are wondering
how Ryan ct al. are to gettheir mon
ey back. They cannot manipulate
the funds of the society to their own
in that way. There isn't anybody
harboring the suspicion that Ryan ct

this money to rescue the policy hold
ers from Hyde. Not they. Not by
a long shot nor a joyful
Yet they are to be reimbursed.
How? Easy. BY charging the pur-
chase price UP to the policy holders.
Two avenues to this end are under
consideration. One contemplates ac-
ton by the legislature authorizing
Ryan ct al. to dig the amount of the
purchase out of that big surplus fund
of the Equitable. The other provides
for an assessment on the 100000

will be satisfactory to Mr. Ryan and

NEW YORK, June 22.-Out of the
dust and fuss and racket of the
Equitable insurance row there comes
a still, small, but penetrating and
convincing report that the policy
holders are to foot the bill.
While the giants were struggling,
onlookers, including the policy hold
ers, were so interested that thought
of the bill of costs never entered
their minds. Seeing the millionaires
hiring the biggest lawyers in the
country and executing expensive
maneuvers to win points, made the
spectators a little envious that they
had not similar resources to bring to
bear in their contests.
The appointment of the three trus-
tees to have supreme authority seems
to have brought the row to an end.
Now it is stated that the expenses
of the fighters are to be charged to
the society, which means the policy
holders. Estimates of the amount of
this war fund, or indemnity. or what
ever it may be called, all hover
around the 100000 mark.
There is another item of 81 900, 900
mark
There is another item of $1,000
600 or more that is to be charged up
