FATE PURSUED THIS TOMMY
Hole Made in His Helmet by
German SHIPPER.

James Dickinson, a convalescent
Canadian soldier, in a letter to a
friend, tells this story of the great
war:
During a lull in the battle of the
Marine one of the Canadian troopers
took off his steel helmet, and, placing
it on the end of his rifle, held it so
that about half of it protruded above
the top of the trench. A German
sniper observing it, at once shot at it,
and the ball, striking it squarely,
pierced the steel, going out the other
side. The Tommy laughingly showed
it to his comrades and placed it back
on his head.
Fifteen minutes later the order came
to "go over the top" and this same
Tommy" was among the first. He was
also among the first to fall, mortality
wounded.
1t was discovered at the dressing
station that he had been struck by
nearly spent bullet that had gone
through one of the holes that he had.
so recently shown his fellow soldiers
in laughter.

STATE WILL SOON SETTLE
HAIL, INSURANCE LOSSES
When All County Treasurers Make Re-
ports, State Commission Will AS
certain Amounts to Be Paid.

Helena.-Some time next month the
state board of hail insurance will pa!
| the claims of farmers who were in
s1Ired under the state law and suf
fered losses. A number of inquiries
as to when payment would be made
nave been received by Chairman f. X,
Bowman of the board, and in response
be made until all the county treas
urers have reported on the amount of
premiums collected.
He quotes an opinion by Attorney
General Ford in which that official
held that it will be impossible for
the board to certify the losses, or that
warrants be issued until the levy has
been collected. The moneys received
under the levy for hail insurance pur-
poses, after the deduction for expense
delinquencies and appraisals, must be
pro-rated among the taxpayers sus-
tanning losses. Until the county treas
urers of all the various counties have
rectified the amount collected, or have
RENTED to the state treasurer, as re-
quired by law, the board will be I'M
able to ascertain what amount each
taxpayer that has sustained loss is
entitled to. Otherwise, should there
not be sufficient money to pay all
losses in full, the losses first adjusted
VIII be paid in full, and there will
probably not be sufficient funds to
pay the losses adjusted at the close
Of the season"
Chairman Bowman is of the Opin-
on there will be good surplus left
after claims are paid.

ACID POISONING!

The most eminent physicians recognize
that uric acid stored up in the system is
the cause of govt and rheumatism, that
this uric acid poison is present in the
joints, muscles, or nerves. By expert
menting and analysis at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered a combifIa-
ton of native remedies that he called
An-u-ric, which drives out the uric acid
from the system, and in this way the
pain, swelling and inflammation subside
If you are sufferer from rheumatism
backache, pains here or there you can OBJ
tain Anuric, double strength, at any drug
store for go cents. and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric acid;
or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial pkg Anu
ric which you will find many times more
potent than lithia and eliminates uric acid
almost as hot water melts sugar. A short
trial will convince you. Send sample of
your water to DR.. Pierce and it will be
tested free of charge.
Anuric is a regular insurance and life
saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit Hme-salts in their Joints.

LAST CHAPTER IN STATE
ASYLUM INVESTIGATION
One of "Attorneysn, Representing Hall
Family Must Appear Before Su-
preme Court and Explain.

Helena.-Charles f. Huppe, late OF
Billings. where, with Isaac Goldberg,
he held himself out to be an attorney
at law, must show cause before the SUI
preme court November %, why he
should not be punished for contempt
in so representing himself when as a
matter of fact, he has never been adj
mitted to practice law.
The proceedings were instituted
early this month by Attorney General
S. c. Ford against both Huppe and
Goldberg. Citations were issued but
Goldberg could not be found in Mon
tana. Huppe was located at Geyser,
near Great Falls, where he was EN-
ployed by the Great Northern as a
station agent.
Huppe and Goldberg gained noto-
riety when they assumed to act as at
torneys for the parents of Mabel Hall,
the 11-year-old girl whom, it was al
legged by the supposed attorneys to
have been ill-treated and under-fed
in the state hospital for the insane
at Warm Springs.
Two different Investigations were
made and the charges disproved.
Proceedings against Huppe and
Goldberg are a direct result of the
Hall case. DIR. J. NJ. Scandland, SUI
perintendent of Warm Springs, sent
Mr. Ford the original letter he receiv-
ed from Huppe and Goldberg. The
letterhead announced they were at
torneys at law and in the, letter they
stated they had been retained as at
torneys by the parents of the Hall
girl

gratifying results. 1t has been found
possible to pay bonus of 10 per cent
on ordinary policies, and to make 9TH

Workable success is attributed to the
