tents of the home, the family barely
escaping with the clothes they had on
when they were hurriedly driven from
their beds. His insurance on household
goods of $1,000 in Henry Johnson's
agency will only partly cover his loss.
On the building Mr.. Gettle carried
$1,000 insurance in the Town of Albion
Co., which will not go far towards re-
placing the farm residence. Mr.. Get
tie is having tool house converted in
to dwelling while new home is be-
| ing built on the farm.
