'"Tlvs or six 'months ago," said EX M.
Coffin, president of t'be company, "the
looses began pouring in at sn unpreoe
dented ' tate, and' Instead of decreasing, as
we expected them to, they kept Increasing
. Until. Instead of a loss account of about
ftsCeOO, aa we bad figured, the loeses for
this year amounted to over txM.000, wiping
cut our 9U.0CO surplus 'and taking as much
HMre besides. We endeavored to find out
ib reasoa for the unusual loas and ap
jKnted ' committees of the board of direc
tors sad -policy holdsra but we were un
able to find any reason for It. The loeses
appeared to be en ordinarily good risks.
We finally told the insurance department
to come down and look things over and
decide on -what It wanted to do. - We were
simply swamped with loaees. We held
two meetings last week to eee if we could
Snd any way out of the difficulty, but our
losses were se bad we were unable to do
snythtny. ,Ws considered turning ever the
company to' new auen with new capital to
ui into It. but this was not feasible, so
Wei oonaatAed to the appointment of a re
ceiver ae the best thing to de under the
clrp vn saaea. "
Mr. Coffin J4 he oould not tell just at
present what steps would be takrn to pro
tect the present policyholders. In-some
sections, he said, arrangements were be
ing made by agents to transfer the poli
cies to other companies. At Lincoln the
6hawnee Insurance compaay . of .Kansas
has agreed to reinsure all the policy
holders there and make -no charge for the
unexpired term of the pollalee In order to
get the business of the policyholder It
is hoped arrangements can be , made to
minimise, the losses of policyholders as
muoh as possible. . t-1:
The examination of the books show un
paid losses amounting to f0,tt.0r and
unearned premiums amounting to 1171,
131.14. These are. the principal Items
listed among the liabilities. The other
Items, Including commission to. agents, re
Insurance premiums, borrowed mosey and
unpaid salaries, bringing , the entire
amount of the liabilities up to 263,e4.U.

Efforts of railroad managers to head oft

for during the entire summer snd fall the
transcontinental railroads have been carry

famine will be averted. The closing of
many of the metal mines has sent men'
Into the coal regions and , more roe a ere
