Insurance Company Objects to Find
ings Of Wisconsin Court.

inss Of Wisconsin Court.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 16.-The Column
bia National Life Insurance company
of Boston has filed exceptions to the
findings of the facts and conclusions
of law made by Judge 3. Ray Stevens
in the circuit court on Feb. s, in the
action whereby the company sought
to resist the demand of the commits
sioner of insurance that it file an an
nual report on the business done in
this state and the exaction of the pen
atty for failure to do so. Judge Ste
vens refused each of the requests.
The next step to be taken will be an
appeal to the supreme court. The
company holds among other things
that the findings are not full and did
not find all the material facts estab
lished by the evidence.

WESTON TELLS
Of HARD LUCK
No Milk or Eggs in Wyoming
and Accident in Ad-
dition.
Especial to The Herald.)

Ogden, June 19.-Edward PaysOn
Weston, the pedestrian, reached Ogden
at 5:45 this afternoon. He will remain
in this city today, and leave for the
west over the Southern Pacific five min
utes after midnight tonight. When seen
at the Healy hotel last night, Mr..
Weston was as bright as a cricket, and
not at all worried over the fact that he
was 800 miles behind his schedule. He
spoke of the bad weather, storms and
floods he had encountered, and Of the
especially tough time he had in cross
ing Wyoming. He said he did not see
a COW or hen in the entire state, and so
fresh eggs and milk were out Of the
question. He expressed no doubt of his
ability to reach san Francisco on sched-
ule time. July g. and laughed at the
idea of man hurting himself by walk
ing. That, he says, is out of the ques-
ton. A man can walk he says, until
tired out, and just the minute he begins
to lie down he begins to recuperate.
Weston had some bad luck last week.
On Thursday he stumbled over a pro-
truding spike and fell violently. The
bundle I'm which he carries bis liquid
food, strapped about his neck, was
broken on the rails as he fell, and
piece of the glass passed through his
clothing and cut a cash in his abdo-
men. His clothing chaffed this wound,
and made il necessary for him to stop
in Morgan all day Friday. He left Nor
gan, twenty-one miles east of Ogden,
at $50 yesterday morning. He was at
Uintah, seven miles from Ogden, at
1:55. In Ogden he was met by bis man
ager, J. c. Shinkel, who had prepared
quarters for him, and who was busy all
day yesterday getting together an outfit
Tor the trip across the western desert.
Mr.. Weston said last night that he
had abandoned the idea of going to Los
Angeles over the Salt Lake Route, as he
understood that II would be very diff
cult to secure fresh food through that
territory, and the Southern Pacific COM
pany has placed at his disposal a rail-
road velocipede which will accompany
him west from Ogden, and carry a SUP
ply of fresh food and other Recessaries.
When he entered Ogden. Weston had
walked 3,001 miles in his journey. He
said he expected to make sixty-seven
miles on Monday Twenty-Five miles,
he said. he would make before break
fast, and then take up his regular days
work, forty-two miles. He expects to
