A man, wife and two children,! who claimed to have been burned 1 out at East St. Louis and were driving overland to Cleveland, Ohio, 1 were in Rensselaer Sunday begging for money to aid them', claiming that the man had asthma and could not work. Sunday night they camped near the Bell Center school house, and, according to their story, the horse they were driving stepped into a hole left by the telephone linemen and broke its shoulder. They demanded settlement in the sum of S3O from Mr. Bott owner of the exchange, but the latter carries' insurance against loss of this kind and referred the matter to the insurance company. Later the man camo in and said the horse had been sold to the reduction plant and he would settle for sl2, which has also been referred to the insurance company.

The matter will no doubt be settled satisfactorily.
