Figuring up the Losses.
1t is impossible to give the exact
losses as the insurance adjusters
have not finished their work. Of
course the heaviest losers are the
owners of the block who put their
money into this fine building not
only as an investment, but with a
desire to have the Knights OF Pythias
have the finest block that could be
built for the money. The loss will
be several thousand dollars above
the insurance. which was $4,000
and the insurance of $500 on the
furnishings of their lodge room will
not half cover their loss there. Most
of the members had their regalia in
the building and none of this was
saved. F. o. Clark's loss is total
and is estimated at about $4,000.
{. P, Carpenters loss will foot up
into o the thousands.
Nj. E. Clfford's furnace and oven
were uninjured, besides considerable
OF his stock was saved. He esti-
mates his loss at about $1,000.
