Dear Sir:
I have recently had many inquiries,
relatiya to the operation of the North
Dakota State Hail Insurance which
will be in force during the coming
two years, and below give brief
synopsis Of the law which may be of
interest to your readers:
COST-Flat Tax on tillable land Sc
per acre. Indemnity Tax, on till
able land in crop, not to exceed Soc
TILLABLE LAND-The term till
able land, shall mean all land suitable
or capable of agricultural cultivation,
whether used as such or not.
LOSS - Maximum loss $500 per
acre. payable in State Warrants draw
ing $50 interest which shall become
due and payable on call of State
Treasurer.
WRTHDRAWALS-Any owner be-
fore June 18th, can withdrew from
the indemnity tax, (but not from flat
taxi by filing duplicate affidavits with
the County Auditor and State In
surance Commissioner.
CONSENT OF RENTER.-Owners
of land NUT get consent Of renter TO
withdraw.
LOSS GREATER THAN FUNDS
No provision is made in case the
State suffers heavy hail loss. total
ing more than the taxes paid in to
that fund, and losses will likely have
to be paid pro-rata.
Very truly,

months, in which time he has been or
ganizing and developing and directing
this form of instrumental music.
In order to round out and complete

MADE REAL SPORT
Bulls Not Always Easy Victims
in Arena.
One Animal So Noted for Its Fighting
Qualities as to Be Deemed Irwin
elble-Imported Texan Fur.
nished Excitement.

The toreador has not always been
the hero Of the bull ring. There was
once a bull that earned the plaudlts Of
Spanish arena on more than one oc.
f easion by clearing II OF his an
tagonists. Strangely enough the bull
neither killed nor Injured any man,
But he did put TO flight every toreador,
T matador plcador. chulO or banderilero
/ who dared to enter the ring with him
and, although the crowds came to see
him slain, his conduct proved so
valiant that the people demanded that
hts life be spared.
This bun was named Lechuzo. His
first appearance In the arena was made
at San Lucar. He so suddenly cleared
the ring Of his enemies that the people
rose In admiration and demanded his
reprieve, for despite his bravery, he
would have been treacherously ap-
preached and put to death In accord
ance with the usual practice had not
the people interviewed
Again at Cordoba upon the healing
or the wounds inflicted upon him by
the picadors at San Lucar, Lechuzo
drove all his enemies before him and
again his life was spared at the de-
mand Of the spectators.
So in time Lechuzo began to be re-
garded as invinclble. and finally he
ended his days In peace at the age Of
ten years.
Some years ago a herd Of Texas
bulls were imported from their native
land TO Seville to give special attrac-
ton to a bulltight of more than ordl-
nary importance. Those American
bulls furnished the Spaniards with
some interesting sport.
The first OF the intended victims
when confronted in the ring by horse
and picador wholly neglected the horse,
but paid instant and undivided atten.
ton to the man. The bull beloved as
II from sheer delight at the antcipat-
ed encounter and attacked the plcador
furiously. He pressed the fighter so
hard that, defense being useless. the
man sought safety in inglorlous flight
by scaling the barrier erected between
the audience and the ring as pro-
vision of safety.
The picador WAS ardently and eff
hciently assisted over the barrier by
the horns of the animal and was fol-
lowed so closely that he narrowly es-
capped with his life by reaching con-
venlent gallery. The bull did his best
to get at him, but, finding this impos-
sible, looked about for other game.
The stone seats In the Enclosure at
Seville were ten feet above the ground.
and this height has always been an In
surmountable barrier for bull. hut
this time things were different. for as
soon as the Texan bull saw the throng
above his head he stepped back, and
the next instant he was among them.
Before the people could escape he
had tossed half dozen OF them into
the ring. but they were all rescued by
the ring attendants. The stone seats
cleared, the steer returned TO the
ring. and seeing no one else 10 whom
he might throw the gage Of battle, he
took the exact center Of the ring and
beloved his defiance 10 the world.
Meantime the management had got
busy, and a soldier with Mauser WINS
from a nearby barracks
and the bulls life was inglorIousy
ended.
