Kniss. the insur ance man. wrote a policy m the Murray bathing beach, which covers any loss of life or anything which might require medical care. The indemnity is for $5.0t0 for a single person who might be drowned and a limit of (10,000 for any one eattLa trophy. that is in case a number were drowned at one time on ac count of an attempt to rescue some one in dinger, or from other causes, and widen occurred at the same time, and in case there were more than two the ten thousand would be div ided among the friends of the ones lost. This is a very nice plan, and affords protection to the friends of any one who might be drowned while bathing there.
