sought are believed to have flur-
ried to a still in Calvert county
where they have friends.
Eleven men were caught III the
police drag net thrown out a few
minutes after word was flashed
that the officer had been shot
down without being given a
chance, but it was several hours
before a coherent story OF the
shooting could be learned.
Guy Gives Clue
Early versions of the story as
told to police were changed
when Milton Guy, colored, a resi-
dent OF Brooks Court, who first
reported the Staying, told police
that the two men sought had de-
Hvered a case of liquor to his
house shortly after midnight.
Guy, who is being held at the
Second precinct station on q
charge Of investigation, told Do
lice that when the two negroes
drove up to his house they en-
gagged in a conversation with him
and were about to take the
whisky into his house when York
entered the court.
Seeing the officer, the two ran
from another end Of the court.
York, in the meanwhile, walked
to an automobile and blew the
siren for about 10 minutes in an
effort to attract attention Of po-
lice.

WATER RESOURCES
OF STATE SUBJECT
OF FEDERAL REPORT
Brochure Sets Out Places and
Nature of Artesian Sup
plies and Soil

Grand Forks, N. D., Mar. 11.-Re
Results Of years Of investigation OF
the states water resources by Howard
E. Simpson, state water geologist and
a member Of the faculty Of the North
Dakota university here, are contained
in a report issued by the United States
Geological Survey.
The volume contains maps showing
the various geological stratra underly-
ing the state and sets forth In details
the information obtained in research
es dating back to 1911. The topogra-
ply. climate, geology and water supply
OF the state or outlined in q general
way and the chemical qualities Of all
ground water found in the state are
discussed, the latter information be-
ing provided by H. B. Riffenburg.-
The object of the report, Prof.
Simpson said, Is to furnish to resi-
dents of each county information
showing the best ground water supply
available, whether artesian water can
be found in a given locality, at which
depths water may be reached, though
what formations the drill must pass,
what mineral compounds the water Is
likely to contain and whether 1t will
be healthful or harmful. The general
availability and usefulness Of various
water supplies are compared as to
cost, purity and permanencc wherever
data permits Of such information.
The map outlines the areas In
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1930-03-11

which flowing artesian wells are avail
able, together with tables showing
analysis Of 1876 different types OF va
ter found in North Dakota. A separ-
ate table shows the. source Of supply
for villages and cities having water
works.
Special attention Is given to condi-
tions governing the, occurrence OF
ground water In each of the So coun-
ties. This information. Simpson said,
should be Of value to well drillers and
will enable many cities and villages
and many farmers and stockmen to
improve their water supplies.
The program for the conservation
Of artesian waters, as authorized by
state laws, Is outlined because of the
Importance to farming interests of
the 1000 flowing wells which are In
use here.

STATE IS Fighting
TO KEEP BURBANK
INSURANCE Co. OUT
Mutual Corporation of Los An
geles Me- Authorized to Do
Business in N. D,

Attempts By the Burbank Mutual
Life and Benefit association Of Los
Angeles. to write insurance in North
Dakota by mail arc meeting with the
disapproval Of the state insurance de-
partment.
The California company. according
to information received at the state
insurance department. has been cir
cularizing North Dakota citizens, Of
fering them an insurance policy at q
flat rate without physical examina-
ton and without respect to age.
The insurance department has re-
ccived SO many inquiries regarding
the company that it has prepared a
form letter setting forth it's ideas
both as to the company and the policy
it offers.
After setting forth that the com
pany is not authorized to do business
in North Dakota. the letter asserts
that the payment of $4,000 as set
forth in the policy is not assured
since there is no assurance that the
money will be in the company's death
benefit fund when the insured person
die.
Because no attention is paid to the
age Of the person insured. it is likely,
the department asserts. that the pol
Icy will be more expensive for a young
than for an old one.
Other objections presented are that
the policy holder has no assurance
that the company will continue in
business or that its policies will be
protected by assignment to another
insurance company in the event of its
failure or discontinuance of business
and that, since the company is not
authorized to do business in North
Dakota, any suit against it would
have to be brought in California in
stead of this state.
The department asserts that the
Burbank company differs from old
line insurance companies which main
tain q reserve to mature policies in
force and which. il it decides to dis
continue business. would have suf-
ficient funds on hand TO reinsure the
business with some other company.
