PINE COUNTY MUTUAL
HAS TWO LOSSES
BY JACK WILSON

Adjusters for the Pine County
Mutual Fire Insurance Co. were
called out twice the past week to
adjust fire losses.
Last Friday Arthur H. Ryan,
over near Danbury, suffered a
considerable loss when hog house
and combination machine shed,
garage and storage house went
up in flames. A 1922 Ford car,
a number of household goods,
farm machinery and other items
in the big shed were a mass of
ruins. He carried 1910 insurance
on the car but none of the other
items were covered so his loss is
quite heavy and very unfortu-
nate at this time.
Paul Gehlhar, two miles north
of Sandstone. also had a bad loss
the first of this week when his
granery and machine shed with
supplies and several items of
farm implements went up in
smoke. He carried $500 insur-
ance which will not go very far
in replacing the loss
