It is Impos sible as yet to make any estimate as to whether the losses will be so great on ; any one company as to compel It to go out of business. ' In tire insurance, a , company may have a large number of policy holders in one city, llk Balti more, and may have hardly any in an other city, like Rochester.

Vernle came by and hol lowed for me.' I went out to see what ho wanted. He told me that he had gotten a lot of pennies, nickels, postage stamps and those ticket things. He wanted me to keep the money and stamps, but said he would Bell the tick ets for a cent apiece. I put the money in my pocket. "The reason ! went down to the store with Vernle Is because he was mad at me, and said he would hit me if I didn't go long and not tell. That is why I went with him. He Is bigger than me. "I don't know what he wanted me to stand outside the door for. but as soon as I saw Vernle go in I ran home and was going to bed right away.

Kaston and others to, prevent the sale of property in litigation on the ground that the apswer was insufficient, Judge Cleland put an end 'this morning to an interesting case. Court proceed ings began tn the summer of 1902, and have been most intricate. . Herman C. Leonard and Fritz Wolf Recovered judgment on ' a mortgage against P. O. Lundln on September t, U03, for $7,026.27 and costs. At that time Jennie T. Wade had already fore closed a mortgage against Lundln's land and sold the property on her decree to Bessie W.
