left a week ago, giving out that he

WILD CAT INSURANCE.
Unauthorized Risk Men Said to be
Busy In the State


The state insurance department is
looking after insurance companies
which are attempting to do business in
this state without authority. In that
line Insurance Commissioner Basford
IS sending to the bankers of the state
q circular letter calling their atten-
tiOn to the fact that wild cat" com
panleS are attempting to write bur
glary insurance in the state and that
any such insurance is illegal and prob
ably not cOllectible in case the COM
panies desire to fight any claims for
losses which may be made to them.
The writing of such unauthorized in
surance makes someone liable - a
fine of not less than 500 nor more
than $500, and is mighty poor insur-
iance. The commissioner gives as the
legal companies under the state law
which are entitled to write burglary
insurance: The United States Fidel-
1ty and Guarantee Company of Bal
timore, the American Surety com
pany and the National Surety. both of
New York: the Western Surety COM
pany OF Sioux Falls. The Equitable
Fidelity and Guarantee company of
Brookings. He asks the banks to note
his list.

FOR GOOD ROAD TO HILLS.
Milwaukee 10 Put Track i'm Best OF
Condition.

The officials of the Chicago, Miiwau-
kee and st. Paul railroad, who have
just made their first trip over their
line from Chicago to the Black Hills
country to inspect the condition of the
roadbed and arrive at some conclusion
as to when through trains could be
established from Chicago, found the
roadbed in poor condition owing to the
heavy rains that have fallen through
and they were unable to make any
definite statement when the road
would be open to through business.
At the present time the company 10

cars per day. This work is accom-
plshed nearly to Murdo, a distance OF
seventy miles from Chamberlain. Por-
tions of the road bed are sunk in the
soft gumbo soil and it cannot be de-
pended upon until the gravel is sub
stituted.
The company will have to arrange
this fall to handle the big crop that is
being raised out on the reservation
this season, as the heavy rains during
the season have made the grain grow
very rapidly and very heavy yield is
reported all along the line. To haul
this to market will require a good
rOadbed, and the company will ar
range to put the road in the best possi-
BILE shape.

JAPAN'S NAVAL PLANS.
Not Changed by Developments of Past
Few Weeks.

Gil Bias. of Paris, published Friday
an interview with Vice Admiral Ihuin
commander OF the japanese squadron
now at Brest, on the Japanese navy.
Asked If Japan had not decided. in
view of the recent happenings, to en-
large her program in naval construc-
ton. the vice admiral replied:
I'VE have a naval program for sew
eral years ahead, and we shall execute
1t punctually and righteously, as do
the great nations of Europe. But this
program has not been enlarged of re-
cent months and 1t stands as 1t did
when originated by the admiralty last
year"
The vice admiral said 1t was inexact
to declare the Japanese loan would be
used for increase of naval power. and
explained that this money would be
devoted to the construction OF rail-
roads and other communication in
Manchuria.

a craving for liquor has reduced him

practice gradually dwindled away, his
family left him and he was reduced
to the necessity of being supported
by his widowed mother. About two
years ago he reformed and gave up
his old ways. He joined the Episco-

CROP DAMAGE NEAR MITCHELL.
loss Not as Great as First Reports
Indicated.

After the various storms which have
swept over Dawson county in the past
ten days there was some apprehension
felt that the crop situation was bad
on account of the damage done by
wind and hail. Reports that have
come in from the sections that were
hit the hardest show a much better
condition than was supposed to pre-
vail. Corn, which was believed to
be damaged over so per cent. shows
that 1t was not injured beyond 20
per cent, and the yield will be larger
because of the heavy rains which pre-
vailed at that time. Many fields OF
oats that were laid low can be say
ed it is believed to a great extent and
the damage will be slight in comparis-
on.
