INSURANCE MEN
ALLOW S17,136
Adjustments Made on Ag-
new and Bushnell
Fire Losses
WRECKAGE BEING
CLEARED AWAY
Russell House in Which Laundry Was
Located Considered Total Loss
PelIette & Skinner to Repair Bushnell
Store Building

Insurance adjustments amounting to
more than SIT 1876 have been made by the
companies holding risks ON the stock, fur
nishings and store building and the so
called Russell house on Elliot street
ownedsby Jason E. Bushnell and the laun-
dry equipment owned by Hugh Agnew,
proprietor of the Brattleboro Custom
laundry which occupied the first floor of
the Russell house, in which fire started
early Sunday morning and burned for sew
eral hours, spreading to the store building.
Mr. Bushnell said today that he estimated
his loss at about $4,000 above the ad-
justed Insurance. Work already has been
begun on clearing away wreckage
The Russell house, on which Mr.. Bush
nell carried insurance of $4,000, was con-
sidered a total loss by the adjusters.
There was no insurance on the furnishings
in the six or seven rooms in that building
which Mr. Bushnell used in connection
with his lodging house business.
Two local contractors furnished esti
mates of $500 as the probable cost of
repairing the damage to the store build
ing and that figure was accepted by the
adjusters as basis for settlement.
Mr.. Bushnell said his stock of groceries
was insured for about so per cent of its
valuation and that the insurance ADJUST
ers figured about 40 per cent loss, max
ing the settlement figure 1896. There
will be some salvage of flour and sugar,
which at first seemed would be total
loss. The furnishings in 16 rooms over
the store We're insured for $500, which was
only a partial valuation, and the full
amount of the policy will be realized.
Damage to the fixtures was placed at 500
by the adjusters, the damage being
largely a case of cleaning up and rein
. ishing, although the extent of the damage
to the adding machine and check protec-
tor has not been determined Personal
effects, including jewelry, clothing bed
ding and the like, valued at approximately
5000. was a total loss.
4 On machinery and equipment owned by
Mr.. Agnew, valued at $1,000 and insured
for $4,000. the insurance adjusters placed
the damage at slightly more than S5,600
1t is Mr.. BushnelFs plan to have the
store building repaired as quickly as pos
sible and to this end he has engaged Pei
lett & Skinner, contractors. Werkmen
already have begun to clean up and tear
| away the wreckage of the store building
and this work probably will require a
I weeks time. Mr.. Bushnell is hoping that
he may be able to occupy some of the
frOoms over the store in the course of two
| weeks or so.
| The Russell house will be wrecked at
Ionce, but Mr.. Bushnell has not decided
whether he viii erect a brick or wooden
structure in its place or whether rebuild
ling operations on the lot will be under
taken this year. These questions will be
determined to large degree by estimated
1 costs of building after the repair work on
the store building is completed.

Drilling Tests Will
Determine Trend of the
Robertson Structure

The manner in which production is
being found in the Robertson field Of
Garvin county has made il practically
impossible at the present time to
note the direction which the struc-
ture in the field will take. Whether
it is going northwest and southeast,
as is the general rule in fields Of
southern Oklahoma, or in opposite di-
rectlon. or otherwise, may be deter
mined within the next 80 days by re
ssults of extension tests now drilling
in the area. These tests are: Wrights-
man Oil Company in the southeast OF
the northeast quarter cf the south
west quarter of section Il, ln-3w
which is drilling with the rotary tools,
and is located a diagonal one-half mile
north and west of the Murphy well in
sihss- same section: Wrightsman Oil

quarter Of section I, 1n3w, which is
drilling with the rotary tools at

far encountered in the Ketch Ringing
test have been regarded the most
favorable in the Robertson field, the
usual red beds which are found dur
ing the first several hundred feet,
not having been drilled into in this
