OPINION ASKED
/. OF SHAFER IN
LEGAL PUZZLE
Right of Insurance Depart
ment to Bar Concern From
Business Is Question

Whether the state insurance COM
missioner has authority to bar a
fire insurance company from doing
business in North Dakota by rea-
son Of it's failure to comply with a
court order is the question which
Insurance Commissioner S. A. Ols-
ness has asked Attorney General
George Shafer.
The case. involving fire insur-
ance company which has in force
sic, 100000 of insurance in the state
and last year collected more than
1927, 900 in premiums, came to OILS
ness on appeal from Minot.
Following trial in district court
the insurance company was directed
to pay a loss of $4,000, Oisness said.
The insurance company appealed to
the supreme court which upheld the
district courts decision. That was
some time ago and the money has
not yet been paid. Now the plain
tiffs in the case are asking Olsness
to help them collect their money.

Procedure. One provides that in all
cases where appeal may be taken by
the defendant. the prosecution also
may appeal.
Iowa's legislature passed score
of bills designed to make more
thorny the path tread by the feet Of
criminals. Most Of the measures vest
greater authority in peace officers
and increase the functional capacity
of prosecutors. The machine gun and
automatic rifle were outlawed, q
crimina Identification measure was
adopted and there was general
tightening of laws regarding automo-
bile thefts and jury commissions.
An habitual criminal law, patterned
after New York's Baumes act, was the
outstanding anti-crime measure in
South Dakota. The measure deviates
from its pattern, however, in that it
makes discretionary instead Of man.
datory the imposition of life sentence
on fourth offenders. A bill permit
ting the prosecution to comment on a
defendants failure to testify also was
passed.
N. d. Added Nine
North Dakota added nine bills to
the anti-crime legislation Of the year.
Three of these are considered of
prime importance. They are the hab-
itual criminal act, comparable to the
Baumes act, the uniform motor ve-
hicle theft act and the law eliminat-
ing the affidavit of prejudice in
criminal cases. Other laws speed up
appeals and clarity and amend de-
tails Of criminal procedure.
Minnesota passed legislation estab-
fishing = state bureau Of criminal
Identification and record, passed q
modified copy Of the Baumes act and
raised to five years the penalty for
use of firearms in commission of
felony. As was done in several other
states, law was enacted making it
compulsory for the district attorney
to file reasons for dismissals.
The California legislature, having
completely revised the penal code,
adopted measures for speedier trials,
always considered q crime deterrent.
Laws were pissed abolishing the rails
ing Of the plea Of insanity during
trial. making it more hazardous. to
use firearms in the commission Of
crimes and adopting an habitual
criminal act, with life sentence for
fourth offenders. Third offenders
are to get II years without parole.
Insanity must be part Of the initial
plea, else separate trial will be made
Of this issue, subsequent to trial for
offense.
Nebraska adopted law much like
New York's Baumes Law. New Jer-
sey provided for life sentence for
fourth offenders. Indiana's general

with amounts paid the fund while

The deceased was born in Prussia,
Germany, on the 18th day of March
1880 where she spent the days Of her
youth. She entered the state of matri'
mony wi h Frederick Kriesement but
after few years of happiness she was
left widow with three small children.
Thereupon she moved to Dantzig and
entered training school for nurses.
After graduating from this school she
entered second marriage with Gott-
fried Wollenschlaeger. Fifty-three
years ago the family came to America
and located in Chicago. This union was
blessed with ten children. About l8
years ago the deceased and her hus-
band came with the Boie family to
Hanford. About IS years ago Mrs.
Wollenschlaeger was bereft of her hus-
band and since that time has made her
home with Mr.. and Mrs. H. H. Boie.
She always enjoyed good health. Old
age was the cause of her death and so
she passed out Of this life real peaceful

BENTON COUNTY GAS
FIELD STILL GAS field

The editor of this newspaper in
company with F. ]. Bonn, John Lar
son, S. X. Webster and F. A. Eng.
lish drove out to the gas wells last
Friday afternoon. A report that gas
might be struck in the we'll now being
drilled by the Walla Walla company
together with the announcement that
a number Of newspaper men from this
part Of the state had. been invited to
be there on that day. lent encourage
ment to the belief that something in
the way Of news regarding the field
might be sprung But nothing happen
I'd. The drill failed to puncture the gas
strata and the company had nothing
to offer in the way of news beyond
the fact that they were now down a
bout 800 feet down in their fourth
well. They started with IA inch hole
and are now down to 8 inches. The
men in charge say that they can 60
down 5000 feet in this hole with their
outfit. All Of the other wells are
capped and one Of them was turned
on and lighted for the benefit of the
visitors. ~
Beyond the number of gas wells
that have been sunk, the field looks
much as it did.several years ago when
a company drilling for artesian water
encountered the first How of gas.
Numerous stock selling companies
have since been organized, but with
the exception Of one company using
a diamond drill and which is reported
to have sunk hole 1900 feet, drilling
has stopped in all of. the wells when
the gas strata was reached. Each of
these wells, with the exception of the
first one, are said to have flow of
approximately 3.sQo;0o0 cubic feet of
gas day, which would make them
valuable commercial asset if they
were located near some city. ~
Perhaps sorne. day a company ut
experienced oil men, amply financed
and with drilling outfit capable of
going down 1000 feet or more, will
come into the field and test out the
possibility Of oil, Until that is DONE,
there does not seem to be much hope
OF learning whether or not this is an
oil field.
The editors Of both Of the sunny,
side papers, the editor Of the Prosser
paper, and the editor Of the Richland
paper and the editor Of the Pasco
paper, several other residents of
Sunnyside, Prosser, Kennewick and
-Hanford were among the visitors at
the wells last Friday.
