INSURANCE CASES
ARE ADJUSTED
Attorneys For Insurance Companies Asked
For A Compromise.

The Teter Insurance cases which came
up last Saturday in the circuit court prob
ably came to close when Monday the
attorneys for tho Insurance Companies
asked for a compromise to which Mr..
Teter conditionally consented with the
hopes that the insurance would be paid
without any further unnecessary delays,
and the attorneys are now drawing up
contracts and other papers for the cem-
mittee which is to be selected and who
will have power to act.
The fight that Mr.. Teter has put up
will result in certain laws that will bring
Insurance Companies to settlements with
in a time limit and without doubt will be
of great benefit to the public.
1t is.earnestly hoped the compromise
will be carried out promptly and with
fairness
The citizens of Belington, OF Barbour
county and OF West Virginia owe much
to Mr.. Floyd Teter who has carried on
this fight to the last ditch. There is not
another man that would have sacrificed
in dealing with these companies as did
he. His sacrifices, his money, his ex
periences will benefit all.
The position OF The Progressive in
guarding the peoples rights and pointing
out certain hindrances and malicious
practices in these particular cases has not
been taken in vain for now ali have seen
the Unfair ess ON the part of the Insur-
ance Companies but who after finding
public sentiment greatly against their
tactics begin to see that it Is their move
hence compromise has been asked and
granted.
The Progressive will be found, as in
the past. ready at any time to champion
the cause of right and justice.
