STATE HAIL INSURANCE
AND OLD LINE INSURANCE

The present year will he a hard one
for mutual hail insurance companies in
North Dakota. and it is already rumored
that ONE of the companies doing BUSH
ness in the state for many years will
have a hard time to pull through.
The old line companies usually charge
75c per acre fiat and do not insure high
er than $40 per acre. The Insurance In
the old line companies will be much
more satisfactory this year. ss the
farmers are getting. in cases of loss.
the S.. s. or $40 per acre. OF what
they paid for. It il estimated that the
state hail insurance department will
only be able to pay about so per cent of
the So per acre insurance permitted.
The farmer has to wait until the losses
T adjusted. grain harvested. etc.
Some estimate the total cost around 35c
per acre. OF course the farmer is abso-
lutely sure of getting his proportion of
the state insurance fund in the end.
Here is what the Grand Forks Times
says:
The North Dakota Mutual Hail Insur-
ance association, founded by the legis-
lature in 1908 by special act. will NOT
be able to meet its liabilities this year
on account of the frequency of damag-
ing hail storms. The law provides that
the farmers shall pay in 20 cents per
acre fo- the protection afforded them
from hail and the money from the vari-
Gus counties is Jumped into n sum
and the losses over the state paid from
this.
In Grand Forks county there was
something owe SIS, 900 paid in by farm
ers as their insurance premium. The
losses so far in the county have been
about that amount. so in this county
there will be an even break. In Ram
sey county there were So, 500 paid in by
the farmers and the commissioners
there find So. 700 losses and are only
half through with their equalization of
k4AC 1OooCos LII OAAAO4AAo SOuAASy SAAOAV
will be a shortage of many thousands of
dollars and in the southern part of the
state many of the counties will fall
thousands of dollars behind. In other
counties there has been thousands paid
in and no losses so that will help de-
crease the deficit.
While no exact figures are obtainable
at this time. indications show that the
farmers insured by the state will re-
ceive probably half of their losses and
it may fall below that if some of the
western counties report a deficit, as
they probably will. according to reports
received this afternoon.
Mckenzie county farmers took a great
deal of the state insurance this year.
In Stark county the amount taken was
not large.

FOLEY AGAIN TELLS STORY
NEGRO LEES MED0RA LIFE

Much has been said about Charles
Lee. the negro inmate Of the asylum.
and now comes Col. James w. Foley of
Medota with the story of his life in the
Bad Lands.
Mr.. Foley says:
He is only a negro. and beine a
negro has no rights which the white
man is bound to respect.
He may have been q bad man; a
very bad man. He may have been in
sane for years past. If he was insane
he should have had sympathy and not
kicks.
He was only a negro and according to
the white mans theory, his intellect is
below the white mans intellect. Per-
haps he did not have the chance the
white man is supposed to have: he did
not have the opportunity of the white
man for education; he was not respon-
sible for his birth OF color. That his
father was a white man, there is scarce
ly a doubt; and that father may have
been a bad man, too; but poor, crazy
Lee was not responsible for that.
Men are what breeding. education
and associations make them no more.
no less.
The papers tell us that Negro Lee got
into the bad. Let us see if he did. and
how bad. For years it is said that he
lived without being married, with a
white woman. How many white men
have done the same? This manner of
life was against the law of our state,
and tor this reason it was wrong. Only
white men have the vested rights to vio-
late the laws of our state. and poor Ne
gro Lee did not know this. A tale has
been told us about Negro Lee. Our in
formant was reliable. This story con-
Germs a horse trade. Listen to it please,
you may be delighted.
Negro Lee sold q horse to a white
man and received in payment a rail-
road time check supposed to- be worth
$50. Negro Lee presented this time
check to a railroad agent for payment
when he found it to be worth only one
dollar and fifty cents. Negro Lee did
then what many another man would
have done he took his horse back. Poor
Negro Lee. he supposed that under the
moral law the horse was his property.
Little did he know that there is one law
for the white man and another for the
negro in this state. Negro Lee was
then arrested for horse stealing. by the
white man. He employed attorneys for
his defense and gave a mortgage on
what live stock he had for security for
the payment. He was not tried for
horse stealing, but when free from Jail
found all his property aone-his property
no longer. The negro's mind. untrain-
ed as it was. told him a great wrong
had been done him. How to right the
wrong he did not know.
Has this anything to do with his in
sanity? Perhaps not. Who can tell7 OF
the workings of the mind of man little
is known. Who is the bad man and who
is the white man; Negro Lee or those
who robbed him?.
