Hon. Samuel Galloway, of this city, had
horse stolen from his stable on Sunday
night last. He was not insured in the
Great Western and American Horse Insur-
ance and Detective Company, whose Office is
In the Buckeye Block, in Columbus. Had the
horse been insured in this Company, it is
probable, it would not have been stolen, or
if It had been, Mr.. Galloway would have
recovered it, or been paid It's value.
This company has such thoroughly dis
ciplined detective system that it is almost
impossible for thief stealing horse in-
sured by them, to escape detection. In
case OF a loss, if an animal is not recovered
within thirty days and returned to the
owner, the company pay the amount for
which it was insured. Besides, those who
have animals stolen, which are not insured
in this company, can,Shy remitting ten dol
lars, giving full description Of animal and
amount of reward, have ten thousand hand
bills strickland mailed to all the vcompany's
detectives throughout the Northwest. '48
The advantages and security afforded
by insuFing horses and other stock in this
company, as well as by employing its SER
vices in case of theft, cannot fail to. be seen
