Mr.. Rowe screamed for help, but was
about five minutes, when Mr.. Cox, his
employer, in passing the shops, heard
his cries and rushing in, stopped the

FIRE LOSS CASE.

A. J. GIidden Of Hitchcock Wins In
Test Case From Insurance Company.
A case Of Importance to every per-

case was that of d. e. Chaplin and

he Mutual Cash Guaranty Fire Insur-
ance Co. of Sioux Falls. Mr.. Chaplin
was owner of Touring mill at Hitch

Ilidden held mortgage of $1,000 on
The property. After the fire the insur-
ance company was notified, but de-
clined to make settlement, and thus
suit followed on the ground that the
.oss, if any. should be paid to Mr.. Gid

Chaplin had taken out an additional
policy in another company without the
knowledge and consent of the COM
pany at the time carrying the risk
Mr.. Warren of Sioux Falls counsel for

was his intention to make this a test
case for the purpose of determining
whether in the State of South Dakota
an insured party can take additional
insurance without first obtaining the
knowledge and consent of tn ecom-
2any carrying the prior risk A num-
Der of witnesses were examined both

The farmer who would make his
crops of vegetables most profitable, or
the small gardener who would have
an early supply of early vegetables for
home use or market must employ
some kind of glass structures to hasten
these crops. The hotbed or cold
frame have been much in use In the
past but the cost of sash, shutters and
mats is nearly as much as the mate

ture, while the labor of caring for cold

than that of the small greenhouse. In
the latter one may work with comfort

who had committed or were about to
commute after fourteen months resi-
dence, should have their titles held
up if they depart from the homestead

and recognized as we'll versed in the
homestead law.
Il do not want to be understood"
says Mr.. Johnson, ''as taking this po-
sition because opposed to the object
the commissioner had in mind, or be-
cause approve the lax residence and
cultivation through which many are
trying to acquire title to their land.
[ do not approve the 8x10 shack, five
acres broken, fourteen months resi-

in favor of anything that can legally
be done to check or destroy this prac-

Commissioner bennett lays great

the Revised Statutes, and of the oath

The use of acetylene commercially

the new illuminant has made, espe-

a formidable competitor for favor

The spectral analysis of the light
shows it to be a practical duplication

underwriters has revised its rules in
such manner as to encourage its
