Miss Lou Quinn, 1l-year-old
daughter of a ranchman living
Ear the Florida mountains,
was bitten on the left hand
Thursday morning of last week
b. a vicious rattlesnake, which
was lodged in soap weed plant
and struck the little girl as she
was passing by. The child was
brought to the Ladies hospital
here Thursday evening in a very
serious condition, her hand and
arm being terribly swollen and
discolored. During the trip to
town the little girl tainted three
times from the terrible suffer
ing she was undergoing and
the shock she had received.
The attending physician was
doubtful about saving the little
girls life when she was first
brought in on account of the
long time that had elapsed after
being bitten before she received
medical treatment. However,
as we go to press we learn she
is in a fair way to recover.

WRITING Insurance illegally.

John L. Pierce, insurance deputy.
gave out the following statement:
Information has just been received
by the insurance department that
agents are operating in Nebraska for
the Druggists Indemnity Exchange
OF St. Louis and that such agents are
soliciting and securing fire insurance
risks in that institution.
The Exchange is an interinsurance
institution somewhat of the character
of the Lloyjs. where Individuals, firms
and corporations as subscribers mutu-
ally insure each other. AS this con-
Germ refuses to give out sufficient in
formation to the reporting agencies
of its financial standing it is impos-
sible to estimate intelligently whether
its policies are desirable or not. but
even il they were, the Indemnity Ex-
change Is not licensed to do business
in Nebraska and whatever business its
agents secure here is unlawfully Sc
cured. In fact. its policies are made
void by the statutes of this state.
For the protection of the companies
and agents that have complied with
the law and that are paying their pOr-
ton OF the state taxes this depart
ment will prosecute any agent of this
or any other unauthorized company
when proper compliant is made.
