Intendent of Insurance Lou Payne re
sumed the stand this morning in the
insurance inquiry. '
Fayne saJil ne hod employed couo-
sel at various times. He did not go
to the attorney general's office be- ;
cause an official would make on''
opinion one year and later change ft.
A new attorney general would make!
still another. He went outside for'
counsel where he personally knew the I
attorneys were honest nnd capable, i
Payne said that President McCurdy!
called him up the day before he filed :
his request admitting the Prussian
companies to do business in the state.
He told McCurdy he would send an
attorney to see him, but the report
would be filed without change.
Hughes said It was reported that
Payne received $40,000 for his favora
ble ruling on the Mutual's reserve.
Payne said, "It is unqualifiedly false
In every particular. The report came
from out of the fight between Kurham
and Wells. The Mutual paid him ab
solutely no money in that, or in any
other matter. Any man who came to
me with such a suggestion would bel
fortunate to get out of my office with
t his head on his shoulders. I never
accepted money for u retainer nor
fee In imy shape from any Insurance;
company.
Puyne's attorney said he was called
upon by McCurdy, who asked if there
was any reason why ho should not.
The incident was closed with no
amount of money mentioned.

La Orandc, Dec. 28. A movement
Is now en foot to secure the removal
of the O. 11. A N. stations and side
tracks from Union to Hot Luke, three
miles away, thus doing aw.iy with tha
I'nlon station and making Hot Lake
the principal atop for all trains.
Union Is now connected with the
O. R. & N. by a line of railroad two
miles in length which would have to
be extended three miles fui titer west
to Hot 1-ake In order to give that city
rail accommodation should the pro
posed change be made.
The growing popularity of Hot Lake
as a health resort and the heavy
travel from and to that place makes
it necessary for all O. U. & N. pas
senger trains to stop there us well as
at I'nlon station, which is three miles
further eastward ut the font of the

It is rumored in railroad circles
that in order to cot out one of these
stops which must be made so close
together that Union station will be
abandoned.

After the West Court street ordi

passed. As worded, it calls for Ok
