CHARRFD
REMAINS IN
BRUSH HEAP

Botttneau. n. D., May 1o., Coroner
Weaver was called to Metigoshe We'd
nesday to view the remains OF T. E.
Counts, which were found partly char
red in a brush heap. He had been
in the employ Of H. Crowder for sew
eral days grubDing and burning brush.
Tuesday evening he failed to appear,
but Mr. Crowder thought little of it
as he had relatives and friends among
the surrounding neighbors. But a
search Wednesday revealed his re-
mains lying charred almost beyond
recognition in the ashes of brush
heap His clothing was burned Of
and the skin charred to the knees.
No marks of violence showed about
his body and the man was not known
to have enemies who would do him
such harm. A careful examination re-
vealed strong evidence of heart fail
ure, and he apparently fell forward
possibly when in the act of throwing
brush on the fire. He had complained
of that ailment for some time. He
was "a years old and came about 1883
from Kentucky. He leaves a wife and
seven children.

ers and worth SO much to the north
west that it would be hard matter
to compute the amount. The farmers
had been worrying a little, not be-
cause rain was needed so badly, for
the crops would have gotten along
quite nicely for several days longer,
but their memories went back to a
year ago and they grew a little ner-
vous.
The farmer can now rest easily, pro-
viding they take steps to conserve the
moisture that fell. We have talked
with a large number OF them and they
inform US that as soon as the land
is dry enough, which may be the case
by the date of publication, they are
going to get out with their drags and
stir up the surface, cooping up the
moisture in this manner.
The rain gives the grain fine start.
Much of the wheat had started to
grow, but in some places was coming
up little uneven. The moisture will
prove of great benefit to the pastures,
and the fields Of virgin soil, which
the farmers are now breaking for flax,
1t will restore confidence among our
business men, who were getting about
as nervous as the farmers, and you
can look for some land to change
hands within the next thirty days.
We are all very thankful for the
visitation of this excellent rain. The
crops had never been put in, in better
shape than this season, and you can
look for wonderful yield if condi.
tions continue ordinarily favorable.

names. Such fellows cannot be de-

Error had Been Made.
T. F. Renwald, the real estate nan,
received telegram from his mother
stating that his brother had been pol
soned at La Sale, ILL.,, and he lost no
tine in hurryfng to that city. He was
surprised to learn upon his arrival
there that the victim was not hls
brother at all, but . young man
Joseph Dillon of Marquette, Mich,
who had become weary of life and
took large dose of poison. The fell
low had destroyed every letter and
every record by which he could be
identified because he did not wish
his mother to learn how he had come
by his death. It happened that some
months ago, he had met Mr.. Renwald's
brother, a business man of Burling-
ton, Ia, and asking for his address,
Mr.. Renwald's name was stamped in
a little book which he carried in his
pocket. When Dillon was taken to
the hospital he was unconscious and
the authorities, finding the name in
the book, concluded that Mr.. Renwald
had done the rash act. Young Dillon
is recovering at the hospital.

STATE HAIL INSURANCE

cush servicc.
The evident attempt to discredit
the State Hail Insurance company, for
~ome reason not indicated in the in
terview, is shown in the following
sentence attributed to Mr.. Putney:
"The farmer can insure for only
$500 an acre, and in case of loss, the
adjusters (who are the county COM
missioners) must base their deduction
on good, medium ana poor crops. "A
medium crop would be fifteen bushels
to the acre. 1t costs twenty cents an
| acre to insure a crop. It is worth a
dollar to harvest it, $3.50 an acre to
thresh it and to haul it to the mar
ket from his place is worth 80 cents
an acre. Figuring on that basis,
man having a total loss of a medium
crop would get about $40 providing
the Secretary of Agriculture had
enough money in the insurance fund
to pay it, anu that would be very i'm
probable
Just what the foregoing quotation
! has to do with a loss by a farmer of
his crop by hail is incomprehensible.
| If a farmer should lose his crop by
hail he would neither thresh it or
haul it to market He would not
have crop to harvest II the farm
er insures 16O acres in the State Hail
Insurance company he pays the as
SCISSOR $1,000 and a fee of twenty-five
cents for filling out the application
or a total of 1925, which is estimat-
ed to be about $1,000 less than he
would pay any other company. If he
| loses his crop by hail, he is allow
ed $500 per acre.
The policy is neither complicated
nor lengthy but Is far more simple
in form and less in detail than those
issued by any other company doing
business in the state. The assessor
has nothing to do with the policy
whatever as they are issued by the
| county auditor. All the policy con-
tains is the consideration, date, acres
of grain and agreement to pay. A
briefer policy cannot be written.
The plan of the State Hail Insur-
| ance company is not only feasible,
| fair and equitable, but places the ad-
justment in the hands of men who re-
side in the county where the crop
| is grown and not left to strangers
who will take undue advantage of
the farmers. The rates are so low
and the fees are so small as to cause
vigorous opposition to the plan on
| the part Of those who are working
in the interest of foreign and other
hail insurance companies, and who
realize that if the farmers understood
the states plan they will certainly in
sure in the State Hail Insurance
company.
