Missing Man Dead

The Washington Springs Republic
can has the following to say regard
ing the man who disappeared after
working around Miller about a
month ago:
Those who have been endeavor-
ing to find the whereabouts of lvar
Lindburg who has not been heard
from since Nov. 10th. have learned
that he was last seen the 18th of
Nov. at Lane by a party who knew
him, and that Lindburg was not
well but was on his way to the
Springs on foot. About two miles
west of Lane a farmer stated that
on the same afternoon he saw a man
carrying a small hand satchel walk
ing westward on the track and also
that the person sat down as if to
rest but soon started out again.
When this was made known last
Tuesday it was thought best to search
in that neighborhood. so Wednesday
a party went over the territory
quite thoroughly, but no trace was
found on account of the deep snow.
1t is quite probable that Lindburg
became very i'll and did not know
what he was doing and wandered
about until lost entirely in the snow.
We might suggest that the farmers
living in the neighborhood where he
was last seen make a thorough
search of their farms for him.

First National Life Takes Over
Cincinnati Co.

Ever since the First National Life
Insurance was started the promo
tiers have been active in interesting
the Bankers Reserve Fund Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, in the Pierre Company.
The Bankers Company has been in
operation for many years and has
several million dollars of RISKS on
the books with over 5000, 900 reserve
on hand. The income of the COM
pany is about $3.50, 900 a year. The
First National Life has reinsured
all its risks and will take over the
bag and baggage on January lst.
Col. Frank B. Ainsworth, secretary
of the Bankers Reserve is a well
known insurance man, and he will
also come to Pierre and take a lead
ing position with the First National
Life. The movement is very signifi-
cant in the insurance world. 1t
means that other eastern companies
may transfer to the west where the
home companies can loan their
money to better advantage. No
doubt the First National Life will
receive more attention because of
this move than ten years ordinary
business would bring to them. The
company has been doing business
here only a few months but its
growth is pleasing to all connected
with it. A strong life insurance
company is a greet benefit to any
city, and the successful growth of
the First National Life will mean
much to Pierre outside of stock
holders and policyholders. The
officers are saying about January
first some further announcements
will be made Pierre Capitol-Jour-
