manager of the Underwriters Ad
justing Company of that city, was
here last Friday and made an ad
justment on the fire loss sustained
by Pat O’Connor in the loss of his
hay barn which was destroyed by
fire last Thursday afternoon. When
Mr. Pease went out to Mr. O’Con

wanted to settle for his bam, Pat

fire. He carried $1,000 insurance
on the bam. Dan McCarthy, who
owned the hay stored in the bam
at the time of the fire, received
$1,500.00 for the hay destroyed.
