indianapolis, Ind. July 16.-John C..

possession OF 633 acres of land along
the Kankakee river in Hanna township

In former years the Kankakee river

DENOUNCED BY COMPANY
AUDITOR OF STATE NOTIFIED eY
INSURANCE PEOPLE THAT
THEY ARE MAKING EVERY e.
FORT TO CATCH MAN.

Indianapolis, July 16.-Three Rich
mond physicians whose names have
not been learned. were victimized a
few days ago by an insurance agent
who gave the name of Harold S. Shat
fer. This is supposed to be a fictitious
name and it is believed that the man
lives in Indianapolis. but this has not
been learned definitely.
About two weeks ago complaints
we're received at the office of the au-
ditor of state about this same agent
working a fraud in Muncie and Craw-
louisville. In these places he claimed
to represent life insurance company
Of Cleveland. O., but when the COM
pany heard of his operations it wrote
the auditor of state denouncing the
man and informing the auditor that
Shaffer was not in their employ and
never was. On referring to his rec
ords, the auditor found that the Cleve-
land company Is not authorized to do
business in Indiana. therefore Shaffer
could not be an agent for the COM
pany in this state.
Asked to Assist.
The Cleveland company asked the
auditor to assist in running Shaffer
down and the auditor has been looking
for him ever since.
But few days ago the auditor re-
ceived word that the same man has
been victimizing others in other towns
this time representing himself as the
agent of the Western Reserve Life In
surance company, of Muncie Shaffer
was employed by this company q few
weeks ago to act as an agent, but as
soon as the company heard of his &C
tions 1t had his agents license revok-
ed. Yesterday the auditor received a
letter from the company in which 1t
said:
This party procured some litera-
ture from us and went to Richmond
where he wrote three physicians,
promising to appoint each as medical
examiners for our company at Rich
mond. To one he promised a monthly
salary Of $50: to another the same
salary; to another he promised a cal
airy OF SIS month as assistant ex-
aminer. All this without any right or
permission from the company. We

however, the Kankakee

however, the Kankakee river was
dredged and channel made that was
sufficient to carry off all the water
from the swamp level. All of the land
thus reclaimed was owned by the state
and in the reclaimed area was all OF
section IA except the 81 acres which
Pinney purchased.
Pinney Laid Claim.
But Pinney laid claim to all of the
rest Of the section until the assess
ment of the ditch tax was levied on
the reclaimed land, and then he dis
claimed the ownership. The 633 acres
remaining of the section, however,
was sold at tax sale to pay this ditch
tax and Pinney's wife bought it In al
the tax sale, taking a deed for it from
the county.
Billheimer claims now that this sale
was illegal and the 633 acres still be-
long to the state. He says state land
can not be taxed for improvements and
that inasmuch as the land belonged
to the state when the ditch was made
the assessment of the tax was illegal
Bilheimer will now direct the attor-
ney general to bring suit against Pin
ney and his wife for possession Of the
1913 acres of land. The land is said to
be worth at least $25 an acre since 1t
has been drained, making the 639
acres worth something like SIC 600
But the suit will be OF vast importance
in Laporte and Starke counties, both
of which border on the Kankakee riv-
er, because there is about $500 acres
of reclaimed land in all that the state
claims still belong to 1t. Much OF the
reclaimed land has been sold by the
state, but this much remains. It Is
expected that the land owners in that
section and those who will be affected
by the suit will put up big fight to
keep the state from rcgaining posses
sion of the land.

PUTTING ON THE WAR PAINT

1.-THE depression in land values from
their condition 20 years ago resulted
in thousands of tax titles throughout
East Colorado" says the Farm and
Ranch, of Sheridan Lake. "The awak-
ening the past three or four years to
the real value of these lands has aroused
former holders or assignees of default
ed deeds and mortgages, and set their
nimble wits actively at work. Many
Eastern assignees of these special
claims are playing stalking game by
applying a hold up process to local
owners of the tax-title lands, demand
ing in some instances $500 to $1,000 per
quarter for shadows costing them $40
to SIS. The attitude of these outside
grabbers has aroused the people of this
locality. a meeting Of tax title hold
ers of Kiowa county was held at Eads
Monday afternoon, September, Goth.
Though OH short notice, there was an
enthusiastic attendance from various
parts of the county. Judge L. F. Ran
aolph was named as chairman, and
County Clerk F. P. January as secre-
tary. Permanent organization will be
effected at meeting to be held at the
COURT house at Eads next Monday,
September 81. at o'clock p. m. Judge
]. Fl. Voorhees, and Robert Cowles of
Pueblo have been retained as counsel.
