The J. l. Case Threshing Machine

For the first time in thirteen years
the Stark Farmers Insurance COM
pany of Brown county was compelled
to make a second assessment in one
year. This was done this week by
the board of directors on account of
the two fires that destroyed the
John Raschka building in Stately
and the Richard Meilke buildings in
Town Leavenworth. The first loss
was $500 and the second was $500.
1t will only require a 10 cent assess
ment On each $500 insurance to pay
up the losses, so small that it will
be a pleasure to farmers to pay it.
The two engines that were in the
railroad wreck at Ipswich, S. D.,
recently, passed thru here last Sat-
urday on the way to the shops, says
the Olivia Review. There was not
much left Of either one except the
running gear and the loss to the
company will be almost total. Be

and disabling one other fifteen of
twenty stock cars were reduced to
kindling wood. Not only that, ninety
head of stock were killed and one

one happy thot connected with it,
however, and that is the blame did
fall to the lot of the agent or oper-

renting the Jos. Shamla farm in
Kingman north of this village, was
instantly killed by lightning during
the thunder storm Tuesday after
noon, says the Bird Island Union.
Mr.. Adomack was ploughing with a

because Mr.. Adomack did not re-
turn in the evening and went to see
what was the matter finding his
body and the two dead horses as
above stated. Mr.. Adomack re-
turned here last spring from Min
neaukan. N. D., where he had been
renting j. H. Feeter's farm and
expected to return to that state this
fall as soon as his work was COM
pleted. He leaves a wife and two
small children besides his parents,
who live in the same township.
A couple of fellows who gave
their names as Limbecker Bros,
were arrested at Pennock Mon
day on complaint of some Sac
red Heart people who had been
swindled by them, says the Kerk-
hoven Banner. The men had been
travelling about the country for the
purpose of buying up creameries.
They bought the Sacred Heart
creamery and gave check in pay
ment for it. The check proved to
be worthless and the former owners
of the creamery had the men ar
rested. The same men had been
negotiating for the purchase of the
Pennock and Kerkhoven creameries
and we understand were about to
