HAIL LOSSES ARE
PAID TOO Often
Farmer Writes That He Has
No Loss After Getting 100
Per Cent Claim.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 28.-"This is
the first intimation I have had of
being bailed OUT" wrote an honest
North Dakota farmer in returning to
State Auditor Kositzky a check for
$502 in payment Of hail indemnity.
His loss had been reported as 400
per cent"
II have been paid 100 per cent on a
100 per cent loss," wrote another
farmer.
Il am confident" said the; state
auditor today, ''that dozens of far
mers have been paid twice or three
times for their hail losses. We, have
caught two or three dozen duplicates
in the Office, but in making out 49,
900 hail warrants in such great haste
as has been necessary and with a
limited Office force, some duplicates
are bound to have slipped through -
One instance mentioned where the
duplication of vouchers was discovered
was in the case of Mrs. NJ. X. Bowen
Of Golden Valley county, whose hus-
band was killed in a neighborhood
row last spring. Two warrants had
been made out for Mrs. Bowen, COW
ering losses on two sections Of land,
and each in the sum of 1912. Inves-
tigatiorf developed that Mrs. Bowen
owns and claims q loss on but one
section. The hail adjustor had certi-
fled to loss on two sections and
vouchers had been made out according
ly.
The insurance department had POT
adjusters in the field, states Mr..
Kositzky, who declares that he, is GER
tain that the state has been asked
to pay two or three indemnities on
the same claim in number Of in
stances.
