fuse to pay, basing this refusal upon
the ground that the fire losses are
the direct result of the earthquake.
While this position is untenable as
a proposition of law. it does indicate
that the insurance companies realize
the conditions. and in order to save
themselves from heavy losses will
seek to avoid as much of the respon-
sibility as possible.
If this is true. the loss of property
will be far greater than at first
thought, SO far as it concerns the
individual owners. In our modern
business methods the amount of in
surance is an offset against the total
loss and often the ravaees of fire are
not seriously felt
But in this instance the loss is in
many instances total. and when this
occurs the loss means millions. for
the most costly buildings were de-
stroyed without question by the earth
quake.
Local insurance concerns having
the greater proportion of their risks
in the city, must of necessity go to
the wall. and in many instances this
will mean an inability to pay more
than a small percentage of the losses.
The state control committee at its
Fargo meeting decided that all va
cancies in the several county delesa-
tons to the state convention should tie
filled by these delegations. The Jaw
requires the state central committee
to provide for filling these vacancies,
but just how this can best be done re-
mains to be solved. If the delegates
do not act on the vacancies until they
reach the convention it will be diff
ficult to do so without giving some
delegates more than one vote, as the
law requires the vacancies to be filled
from citizens who are residents of the
county or district to be represented.
The spirit of the law would be against
this double voting, as it is intended
that the representation shall not be
centralized. No proxies can be is
sued, and the only practical solution
would be in carrying along several
waiting candidates.

STREBECk WAS S;

Over to Action Of Grand Jury Under
$500 Bonds-Dcsertion is Charge Now
BUTT May Be Blgamy Later On.

BUTT May Be Bigamy Later On.
William Strebeck, whom Sheriff
Turner arrested in Fargo on Saturday
last on a charge of desertion pre-
ferred by his wife and family who are
residents of this city, was arraigned
in justice court this morning before
Police Magistrate Church. ]. B. Wine
man appeared for the state but de-
PENDANT was not represented by coun-
sci. After the state put in its evil
dence. Judge Church ordered the de-
PENDANT bound over to the action of the
next grand jury. Bonds were fixed
at $500, which up to late hour today
the defendant was unable to furnish.
He believes, however. that Fargo
friends will come to his rescue.
Strebeck does not deny that he is
bigamist and has two wives living,
but denies the charge of non-support
preferred by his first wife. He says
that he sent her money regularly and
offered to take and support three of
their children. This she refused to
do, so he says.
After the Grand Forks county au-
thorities are through with Strebeck, it
is probable that he will be charged
either here or at Moorhead with the
crime of bigamy. he having married
Ida Mielke of Fergus Falls, Mimi, at
Moorhead. after leaving his wife and
family in this CITY.
