Iowa Woman
111 in Omaha, Re
veals a Fortune
Logan Spinster Asked Friend to Get
Money For Hospital Bill Here
Found $41,006.91
Logan, la., Aug. 28. Stirred by
the discovery of 41 thousand dol
lars in cash and negotiable secur
ities in the basement of the home
of Miss Nellie Hendricks, 62, paint
er and property holder, this town
of a few hundred inhabitants was
wondering tonight if another such
fortune might possibly be secreted
and if so, where.
Miss Hendricks hurriedly left hei
sickbed in the Nicholas Sen hospi
tal in Omaha for her home as soor
as the news of the discovery reached
her in the evening. Every last per
son in town turned out for her re
turn, which was made in an ambul
ance because of her condition. She
had been in the hospital two months
following a paralytic stroke.
Has Money in Bank
Part of the fortune was gathered
through her real estate, they say
She owns a number of homes in
Logan. The remainder was left her
by her brother, according to those
closest to the woman.
Miss Hendricks has an additional
two thousand dollars in the First
National bank, according to C. M
Wood, the president. The 41 thou
sand was deposited here by Sheriff
Cross after the county treasurer
refused to take it.
Mr. Wood said that Miss Hen
dricks had done business with Chi
cago and Dovenport, Ia, bond houses
to his knowledge.
Confided in Friend.
Her return failed to satisfy their
curiosity. Always politely aloof. Miss
Hendricks was even more so as she
returned to the unpretentious home
where for years a fortune had been
stored, known only to her and a bro
ther. John, now dead.
Discovery of the fortune was made
by Sheriff Cross, Mrs. Mary Parkin
and Mrs. Mary Pugh. Mrs. Parkin
a neighbor, had been called to Oma
ha by Miss Hendricks, who said she
needed money to pay her hospita
bill. She told of the hidden place.
Stuffed Into Fruit Jars.
The money was stuffed Into glass
fruit jars, piled one on top of an
other in a small hole about three
feet deep. This was covered with
earth, but chains attached to the
money jars protruded. There was
$8,965.50 in currency, with some
coins, and the balance in securities.
The total was $41,006.91.
Logan people say Miss Hendricks
and her brother inherited some
money from their father 15' years
ago, but the bulk of the hidden for
tune is believed to have been gar
nered by frugal living and shrewd in
vestments. Still, they point out, Mis?
Hendricks lost 15 thousand dollar?
through unwise loans following the
postwar deflation. Her father died
without leaving a will, and the
amount of his estate was never made
known.
DEGENDORFER REUNION

union was held at the home of Mr.

Hail Insurance
Takes Decline
Only 468 Policies Of State Protection
in Force Season Has Been
Light One
With only 469 policies in force
bearing premiums amounting to $20,
4S6.29 the 1928 hail insurance busi
ness conducted by the state was the
smallest it has been in several years.
The writing of policies was brought
to a close on August 21, but the risk
period extends to September 15 sc
the report issued Saturday by John
R. Dumont, chief of the inscrance
bureau does not contain figures op
losses paid this year. The season has
been a lightone, however, so far ap
losses are concerned and there will
undoubtedly be a surplus left in the
premium fund after all losses arc
paid.
No losses will be paid until th;?
month of November, County treas
urers are required to turn In all pre
miums receipts by November 1.
Last year, 1,263 policies were Is
sued on which premiums were col
lected in the amount of $51,786.69.
Losses adjusted amounted to $7.
256.20, but payment was made on
only 85 per cent of the adjustments:
Out of the premium receipts and the
surplus of $14,000 carried over from
1926. only $1,725.S7 was left in the
Insurance fund after losses and ex
penses were paid for 1927.
Though the premium receipts are
very much less this year it is ex
pected that lighter losses will result
in a small surplus this year.
Cheyenne. Thayer, Hamilton, and
Phelps counties are responsible this
year for the largest number of poli
cies purchased. Cheyenne leads with
premiums amounting t'o $3,606. Thay
er is second with $2,030.80, Hamil
ton third with $1,382. Lancaster
county is included among those coun
ties whose premiums amounted tc
more than $1,000. Lancaster coun
ty's total was $1,015.
Sixty-one out of the 93 counties
in the state are included in the list

chased. County Premium?
