RETURNS VERDICT IN
FAVOR OF AABERG
CASE AGAINST ACCIDENT IN
SURANCE DECIDED IN FAVOR
OF PLAINTIFF

The case of Albert Aaberg VS. the
United Commercial Travellers Insur-
ance Company came to a close Tues
day noon when the jury, after being
out about thirty minutes, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff in the full
amount of the claim.
Mr.. Aaberg was injured by being
thrown from a buggy April Is, 1915.
His spine was hurt and he took treat
ments from the best specialists in the
. country. In order to get SETTLE
ment Mr.. Aaberg put in a final claim
for 54 weeks although still far from
well. He did this he says in order to
get money with which to continue
treatments. The company refused to
settle and the case got into court.
It came up for trial last Friday and
was on for four days. The verdict
was for $1354.7D with interest from
April %, 1916. -......
Attorney A. V. Reeke was attor-
ney for the Insurance Company and
Palmer, Craven & Burns, and Muir
ply & Metzger, for Mr.. Aaberg.
The principal line of defense SEEM
ed to be that if the plaintiff could
write, talk and walk he was not in
jured For instance Attorney Reeke
asked Mr.. Aaberg if he could write.
He said yes. Can you talk. Yes.
Then you are not injured.
1t would seem that our accident in
surance laws could be amended in a
way that would protect the injured.
For instance a policy reads that the
injured will get so much a week, for
a stated number of weeks for ill that
long. In many cases he don't get it.
If the laws compelled an agreement
on the injured within say thirty days,
and then payments every week to
the injured he could get his money
when needed the worst.

A TOAST TO THE FLAG
BY John J. DAILY

by JOhn j. Daly
Here's to the Red of it
There's not thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it
In all the spread of it
From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it Red.
Here's to the White of it
Thrilled by the sight Of it,
Who knows the right of it,
But feels the might of it
Through day and night,
Womanhood's care for it
Made manhood dare for it;
Purity's prayer for it
Keeps it so white.
Here's to the Blue of it
Heavenly view of it,
Star-spangled hue of it,
Honesty's due of it,
Constant and true.
Here's to the whole of it,
Stars, stripes, and pole of it,
Here's to the soul of it.
Red, White and Blue.

Dear Brother and Family,

Dear Brother and Family,
Williston, N D.
! have not taken the time to write
you for the reason that ! was sure
that you would read the folks let
ters and hear from me thru Lily also
we have been pretty busy with this
moving game. We may have stayed
some little time in Mercedes but be-
lieve me we have been moving some
since. We are here for only a short
time, in fact by the time you get
this we will be we'll on our way.
You were certainly wrong when
you had us pegged for the winter in
the U. S. but at that believe l was
the most surprised of all of them and
l stuck with it even after l had Lily
and the Babies go home. But when
I saw the big boat I said "Good
Night" And she was some boat but
I rode her without a struggle. Albert
Behonek of TX" was sick from the
start to the finish. Alex Steinbach
gave up what he had and few 9TH
ers had sore throats etc., not exactly
sea sick you understand only they
didn't feel like eating.
I could easily write a book on the
trip over but it would not pass the
Censor so I'll tell it to you when !
get home.
But this is nice place considering
everything good old English mist
that you read about but never ex-
pected to see or feel. We are out of
town about three miles and if you
want to go to town you have to
travel ten miles to get there figuring
the number of times you slip.

Texas was the worst place on earth
but he wouldn't trade one corner of it
for the whole country.
We are subsisting on English ra-
tions and are all right as far as guam
tity is concerned but it rather gets
the old sod busters goat to eat it. But
l tell them that as long as it puts the
fat on your ribs it don't make so
much difference what it is. Lester
is having some time trying to learn
to eat rice and l am having some
trouble eating mutton but you re-
member the story about the man and

I would go so far as to eat mutton |
would have. committed suicide in

mutton was very expensive and far
more nutrious than beef ! got outside |

Now l want to tell you that the
boys need tobacco and lots Of it. Right |
now Bull Durham is worth 25 cents
a package and hard to get at that.
Prince Albert and tin tobaccoes of
that nature are three for dollar.
The English tobacco is not the kind
he men are used to and is more ex-
'ensive than our tobacco. If the peo-
Die of Williston want to do the boys
! good turn send them tobacco.
If you have anything to send to
he boys in France send it to me, I
'elieve you will understand. And be-

against q possibility Of failure. They
have assembled q composite of girlish
loveliness that will not be denied its
due.
There is no dividing line between cast
and chorus. as the action is centered in
six young ladies, members of a musical
house party. who provide their own
leads and choruses. This succession of
performers kept the audience busy
with encores. Aside from the girls. the

Quire any. The plot Is diverting, though

tended for a period of four months as
the result Of an agreement reached
yesterday between the roads directors

refund the indebtedness on a perma-
