when Insurance commissioner of: The
various states meet here in national
convention, it is expected, the question
Of recommending uniform Legislation
for the control Of insurance in the
states will be finally settled.
1t will be remembered that the great
meeting. OF governors, attorneys gen
eral and state insurance commissioners
at Chicago last winter meeting pro-
noted and encouraged by the presl
dent named a committee of fifteen tc
take up the question Of uniform legis
lation by the states with instructions
to report at the national convention Of
state. commissioners here That com
.mittea-has been hard at work, Aled by
Thomas D. O'Brien of Minnesota, its
chairman, and it will meet in Washing
ton next Monday fully to- prepare sits
report. to the convention which meets
on Tuesday. Ia '.-........I-....
That the convention is to be a large
affair is shown by fact that $50 rooms
have been engaged for the delegates
commissioner Rittenhouse of Colorado
is here as one of the advance guard t.
make the preliminary ARRANGEMENTS. H.
says he thinks the New Y ork code az
instigated by the revelations in that
state, will not be the uniform law the
committee will recommend for the rea
SON that TT IS considered too rigid i
some respects. This is especially true
as to- She expense clause and the, pro
vision as to- the size of companies. HI
thinks, however, that the New YORK.
code may be used as the basis Of ths
committee's report with certain modi
fications to make it meet the ideas Of
the committee as to what is necessar,
in a perfect insurance law.

Special to The journal,

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 29.-This Sec
ton is wildly stirred by the holding up
and shooting last night of Louis Lind
quist, a butcher, at Driscoll, thirty miles
from here.
Lindquist has shop in Driscoll, but
lives milesor two from town. He was
driving home after the .closesof bust
ness when man called to him from
the road ahead to stop, which Lindquist
did. The, man came to the side Of the
wagon and at the point of "a pistol or
dered him to throw up his hands,:
Lindquist whipped up his4horsess and
the man fred the ball striking Lind
quist in the hip and seriously wounding
him. The team ran home and the
wounded man was brought here to a
hospital. =. The wound is a bad one, but
he may recover.
A posse was formed at Driscon and
the country searched without avail
The sheriff has aroused the country and
as Lindquist is able to give good de-
scription of his assailant, it being
moonlight and the man not masked, his
capture is probable. - n. ~ '"'Hss4'~s@-
