POLICY HOLDERS
MAY Be JAILED

Unless YOU want not only to lose
your money. but also be subject to ar
rest and prosecution. do not invest in
any of the fire insurance carried by
the Western Fire Insurance company
of Ogden. This was the warning
given out yesterday morning by Col
George B. Suuircs. state insurance
commissioner at Salt Lake. in the fol
lowing form,
I'm connection with the statement
recently issued by the state insurance
department regarding business placed
by unauthorized companies, the atten-
tion of the insurinG public Is called TO
the fact that an insurance concern,
known as the Western Fire Insurance
company Of Ogden. is placing insur-
ance in some OF the western states.
This company has never been admit
ted 10 do business in Utah and is en-
tirely unable to comply with the Utah
law regarding capital and surplus.
Citizens are hereby warned that If
they take Insurance In this company
they run the double risk of losing the
money paid as premiums and OF being
held liable, with the company and Its
agents, to the criminal law II is un-
lawful not only to write unauthorized
insurance, but also to accept it.
This department Is In receipt Of a
letter from a citizen of Idaho asking
for assistance in collecting loss sus-
tanned by him last July, the insurance
being placed in this company Tho
company has not even sent an adtus-
ter. although It has repeatedly prom
ised TO do so, OF course the Utah de-
partment can do nothing for the gen
ueman and he has been referred 10
the Idaho department But he can get
no redress through that department II
the company Is unauthorized IN Idaho
as it is In Utah
"If any one is approached by an
agent OF the Western Fire Insurance
company. whether Of Ogden, Utah. or
OF Phoenix. ATIz,, where the company
was organized, he will do kindness
10 himself and TO the insuring public
by submitting the facts in full to this
department"

whole. while the intervening sec

lie buried possibly hundreds of feet

seem some extrayagant but it must
be remembered that there once lived
here a most populous and powerful ma
