It has come to my attention that parties working in western Nebraska claim to
be connected with me or represent me in the killing of ,
Prairie Dogs
This will notify all concerned that I am operating alone and that the only
parties connected with me are the men in my employ who are doing the killing
of the dogs on contracts made by me. Anyone making contracts with other
parties for the killing of the dogs on their land do so at their own risk. I use
my own secret methods and
I Guarantee My Work
to be effective. By permission, I refer to Pat Nolan, Perry Mailey, Arthur
Wright; George H. Hagaman, and William Earl, all owners of Box Butte county
land. I have contracts with other parties who will be referred to as fast as
their work is finished.
If you want to make your land and pasture more valuable and rid yourselves
of the pest see that your contracts are made with the original prairie dog ex
terminators, who guarantee quick and sure results at reasonable prices for the
work. Communicate with me at the Nebraska Rooming House or in care of
The Herald office, Alliance, Nebraska.

A NEW PLA'N
TO SAVE
Money on Your Live Stock
By insuring: your live stock in transit against
all hazards of transportation
Up-to-date shippers of live stock are taking advantage of the new opportunity
offered by the ''Hartford" Complete Live Stock Transit Policy. It is a great
benefit to a shipper to know the cost of a consignment of stock delivered at any
market
Without Guessing:
Live stock commission men, have endorsed the plan. Progressive buyers are
calling for the broad protection of Complete Live Stock Transit Policies. In
dividuals are 6aved from ruin, and the "funeral train" that daily hauls the
dead animals away from all big stock yards need not worry you.
The
t ,
Hartford Fire Insurance Co.
Established 1810 ,
Hartford, Conn.
Is the only company offering to producers, buyers, and shippers of live stock a
broad policy, easy to understand, clear in its terms, which gives absolute, pro
tection against loss from all hazards of transportation, including suffocation,
freezing, tramplnig, fire, collision, train-wreck, and every form of killing or in
jury while the animals are in the custody of a common carrier. ' ' ,
The rates are low ; THE POLICY GIVES THE SHIPPER A CHANCE TO
PLAY SAFE in building up a business by insuring his live stock on the way to
the market. BE SURE and insure today. The next shipment you make may
be a total loss.
s
The "Hartford" pays promptly, whether the
railroad company is liable or not. Losses set
tled and paid on the basis of cash market value.
