John Cordier and wife came down
to Valentine to do some tradiner with
our merchants Tuesday. Thev called
at the DEMOCRAT office to visit the

a
ed to be representing the farmers' & at
Merchants' Insurance Co. of Lincoln , j.
It has also been learned that he will
e
place a large valuation on your house
if you want to insure that way. It
brings a higher premium you know
and his old "ine company will require
you to pay it , but there will be quest
ions of yalue should there be a loss
for them to pa } * . Do not do business v
with a man who will misrepresent nor
with people you don't know and who
are not located where you could see
them if you should need them.

working foa yood wages. Mr. Ward
is hauling freight up to Rosebud at
has been his custom for some time

him.Geo.
Geo. Bristol and family were in
from their home near Sparks Tues
day and tells us that there was a
travelling insurance man in their
country during the past week trying
to write insurance for the farmers.
We are in that business and know
something about it. Any man who is
not located where you can find him
when you want him } 'ou should be
ware of. Beware of any man whom
you don't know and is not located
where you can do business with him
at any time.
John Foster , a time honored farm
er livintr down toward Sparks , visited
the Editor Monday of this week while
in town. He met with an insurance
agent who told him that the Mutual
insurance was not good and that it
only flourished while the populists
were in power and now that the re
publicans were in power they would
soon be knocked out. Is this the
plan of a traveling airent wh ( ra you
"ee today while 3'ou are paying1 mon-
ev for insurance and when you want
to adjust some. diiTerence he is no
where to be found ? It is good policy
to do business with men you know and
can find if anything goes wrong.
Peter Hoffman came clown Mond y
morning from Nenzel and swore out
a complaint against Frank Hoffman
and A. M. Birchard for assault attd
battery with intent.
Mr. Hoffman says that he had
gone to Cody to get some repairs for
his mowing machine and was attack
ed simultaneously by both Birchard
and Frank Hoffman and beaten un
mercifully until Elden Sparks told
the men if they didn't desist he would
take a hand in the matter. Mr. Hoff
man claims to know nothing of why
he was assaulted except that they
accused him of writing a letter det
rimental to them of which Peter
Hoffman claims to know nothing.
Birchird and Hoffman were brought
before Judge Towne and believeing
that it would be the cheapest for
them plead guilty and were fined $1.00
each and costs. They claimed Peter
Hoffman had talked about them in a
wrongful manner and blamed him
for misusing them.
Frank Burdick was thrown trom
his horse and very badly bruised be
sides having his colar bone broken ,
his left cheek was cut through into
his mouth two and one half inches
long and four teeth knocked out.
Afterwards he got upon his horse and
again proceeded to his brother's
where he finally rode up holding to
the saddle horn. He was unable to
explain how he was hurt at first and
his brother hitched up to a buggy
and brought him to the Post where
the Post surgeon assisted by acting
hospital steward , C. M Hunter dress
ed his injuries , bandaged his head ,
set the breast bone and sewed up the
rent in his face. Frank Burdick had
been working for Newt Grooms but
was in the habit of going home of
Sundaj'6 and generally rode his pony
which was pretty wild and at times
bucked pretty hard with him. He
can talk but very little and does not
hear much. After being cared for
oy the Post Doctor he was brought
up town and left at Hornback's hotel.
