This term has been veriously applied to

a recent number OF a Boston financial

Settling of Accident Claims.

That adjusters and agents attending

isdiction, is shown by the recent expert
encc OF an eastern accident company
Ihe general agent IN forwarding the
claim papers 20 his company said ne had
known the man for some time knew him
10 be absolutely honest and that he had
every reason 20 believe the following was
the cause OF his Injury:
That the claimant. from his state
ment, had occasion 10 stop in sa-
loon on his way home from work.
and While in the saloon a number OF
touGhs out In front on tho sidewalk

police being called. When tic police
arrived the claimant, out OF curl

side 10 see What was going ON. and
found that tho police were having a

the miNuD lie was mistaken by the
police and hit over the head with
club, resulting in his becoming con-
sclous the next morning i'll a hospl-
tai with a scalp wound which dis
abled him for period OF over two
weeks.
When his fellow workmen heard of
this injury. they wero very indis isuant
over tho manner in which he had
been treated by the police force, and
threatened to demand an investlGa-
ton as soon as nc was able 10 leave
the hospital.
Had the above facts been true TIM

Increase in Wyoming.

Production increased in the Salt creek
field ot Wyoming. and the erection OF
additional Tciineries was commenced. An
important suit was begun by the fed
erdl government to recover oil lands en-
tered upon since the FIRST withdrawal or
der oi former President Taft.
At tho close Of the 1912 consumption In
California had so nearly balanced the
productive rate as TO encourage the pro-
ducers and at least to defeat concert
ed effort toward restriction OF drilling.
Many of tho wells OF 1919 were guShers
of the phenomenal type aud aided greatly
In increasing the supply, The efforts 10

well, so that except during the month
OF Ereatest production, September. when
about 1000. 600 barrels were produced.
The consumption almost kept pace with
