After the appeal Of the case to the

AGENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR
HEAVY FIRE LOSS

Pierre. s. D., Oct. l5.-In his annual
report Deputy Fire Marshal Frank
Craft gives the following summary
of fire losses in the first year OF the
operation Of the fire marshal law. "The
number Of fires reported TO this depart
ment for the year just ended is 446,
entailing a property loss Of 500, 1896.
The largest number are shown to have
been from unknown origin, amounting
to 1888, 627.71. The next largest amount
is c~hargeable TO defective flues,
amounting to $73,653.95. Lightning is
responsible for $57,321 loss, and gaso-
line responsible for $37,641. Prairie
fire loss, $19,1S9.50; sparks from en-
gines, $17,1S7.50, and matches, $10,774,
while $10,245 loss is charged to incen-
diarism."
The marshal calls attention to the
fact that many, insurance agents are
looking more for the size of the pre-
MUM than any other point in the
business, which leads to over insur-
ance in many cases, and recommends
that more care should be used, thus
minimizing the causes of friction be-
tween companies and those who are
insured In case q settlement is re-
CURED through a loss.

yard of her home the little girl STUN
bled and fell. pitching directly upon the
snake, which she had not observed and
which was lying coiled and ready to
strike, evidently having coiled when it
saw the child approach.
The fangs struck the child in the
hand. Her mother heard her scream
and rushed to her assistance. She was
taken into the house and a physician
summoned, but at the time the physi-
clan was engaged upon an operation,
which he could not postpone under any
circumstances. n it was nearly four
hours before he could reach the Adams
home and administer 60 IN little girl.
However. in the meantime. pending the
arrival of the physician, her parents did
everything possible TO stop the spread
of the poison through her system. and
TO this the little girl owes her life.
When the physician finally arrived
the hand and arm were frightfuIly
swollen, but this now has been reduced
and the child is on the road TO recoy-
cry.
