JUDGE SARCASTIC
Hits Equitable Officials in Sem.
fencing Thieving Clerk 4

New York, July 13.-In sentencing
Emil II. Neumer, an Equitable Life
Assurance society clerk to the Elmira
reformatory for an indefinite period
for completely in the robbery of pol
icy from the Equitable company's
vaults, Justice Foster of the court OF
general sessions commented on other
Equitable losses. He said:
Your methods were very crude and
bungling. If you had, instead OF col
lusion with an outsider, colluded with
an insider and thereby had your SAL
'ary raised to $4,000 year and then
divided with other men the result
would not have been more, .burtful to
poficyholders. but possibly you would
not have been at the bar of Justice"
Neumer gave the policy to Sam Lob
ley, who borrowed money on it, and
who is now in Sing Sing for the crime.

Milwaukee Grand Jury Continues
Inquisition.

Milwaukee, July 13.-Sixty-seven in
dictments against twenty-five individ-

officials, have been handed down by
the Milwaukee county grand jury.
The probing of the jury still goes on,
the term not expiring until Sept. I.
The latest batch of true bills, added
to the thirty-eight returned ten days
ago, makes a total of 105 thus far, with
the expectation that further probing
will result in many more indictments
which will be brought in later on.

AMITY.

A hail storm entered this district
at the South West corner, Tuesday
night and as usual with these unwel-
come visitors, did some queer stunts.
After visiting Dick Wilson and de-
stroying about one third of his crop
it seemed to hang onto itself until it
got to Haskett's where it turned loose
again and handed him about the same
bunch. After passing there it in
creased in strength as it went, de-
stroying more than half of Ben
Browns, and Chas. McKeen's crops
From there it travelled more to the
east over part Of Davie Jones'
Boehnke's, Jackson's and on through
the French settlement with results
nearly as disastrous as the :, Japanese
fire has been to the Russians. Some
Of the hail stones measured three in
ches in diameter and, of course, where
these found glass they left holes.
Losers may take comfort from the
thought that the wicked are some
times permitted to prosper while the
righteous suffer. 49,,
