Entered at the postoffice in Bowbells, N'. D.. Jan. 25,1900, as second-class matter. i There is a magnificent chance for the fool-killer to work into a big: iob. on short notice, in thisj vicinity. The fake hail insurance solicitor has been here and in less Than no time roped in a lot of soft-heads to give notes for al leged hail protection—a most damnable fraud that should briugtheexeerationsof all honest: people on the head of the State Commissioner of Insurance for allowing such abominations to ply their nefarious business in the state. This time the smooth tonffued solicitor hailed from the vicinity of Hankinson and repre-1 senred what is known as the Mu tual Hail Iusuranc-e Co. of^Han kinson. We understand, how ever. there is a clause in the policy allowing: the assured to cancel same at any time they may see tit—or feel insecure—and we advise our friends now to lose no time in taking: advantage of this clause and demand return of their notes.

Under the above heading we find the following in a late copy of the Review, published at Mil bank. S. D.. and handed us by our friend. F. E. Philleo: Lawyer Bentley says that ""you can't keep a good man down." and that politics or no politics he means to keep on rustling. He has lately become interested in a company that owns 1,280 acres and three coalmines in Ward county. North Dakota, on the Soo road, near Bowbells. Ttje name of the cor poration is the Bowbells People's Dry Coal company, capitalized at $1,000,000. I"he officers and directors are: President, H. S. Wright, Minneapolis: vice-president and at torney, L. H. Bentley. Milbank secretary end treasurer, J. A. Wright, Minneapolis. Articles of incorporation have been prepared and tie company will be incorporated under South Dakota laws. Milbank will be the home office. Mr. Bentley says the coal is a very dry and clean quality, fully equal to Hocking Valley, and can be laid down in Milbank at $2.75 to $S per ton. If brother Bentley can do this he will be entitled to the grateful thanks of the wb«le community.
