GETS FAT
FEE ON JOB

Attorney C. B. Tinkham of Hammond
today received a check for $2.65 which
added to s1.35 which he received a few
months ago is the total amount which
he has been able to realize on claims
aggregating $4,000 of Lake and
Porter county citizens against the
American Mutual Life Insurance com-
pany which went into the hands of n
receiver several years ago.
The grim thing about the litigation
from Tinkham's point of view is the
fact that he agreed to represent some
so policy holders Porter county and
three in Lake county on the basis Of
having his expenses paid out of the
first money realized on the policies,
then being paid a reasonable per diem
and ten percent of all moneys col
lected over and above the cost of col
lecting it.,
His expenses were in the neighbcr
hood of s25. His per diem would have
amounted to $500 so that the amount
of money realized will not even pay
the interest on his expense money.
The company was thrown in the
hands of the receiver by the auditor OF
state after the funds of the company
had been dissipated. The company wits
located in Eikhart and only the death
| of President Barney revealed the true
| condition of affairs 1t also appears
that the auditor of state had not fore

serve that is supposed to safeguard the
policies of the insured.
