FIRE LOSS ADJUSTED.

The Continental insurance adjuster was out to Henry Hayes’ in Barkley tp., Friday and agreed on a settlement of the fire loss of the latter by the burning of his barn on July 18, the amount agreed upon being $275. The tire is supposed to have been caused from the hay—with which it was completely filled—beating. It occurred about 11 o’clock a. m., while Mr. Hayes was away threshing. The barn was a new one built last fall by Mr. Hayes, and some tools and a horse of little value belonging to an agent of the Watkins Medicine Co., was consumed. The loss is estimated at S4OO.
