This company paid my losses in full. This Company docs not pro-rate livestock in ease of loss. I can recommend this Company to my friends and neighbors. BARN BURNS The barn on Miss 8usan Moore's place was struck by lightning Monday night during the storm and burned to the ground. Miss Moore noticed the fire in the barn and ran to it to try and get the stock out.

When she got to the barn the cow was dead and the other stock soon died. A cow, horse and a calf which were in the barn and shed were killed. She had about 30 bushels of corn, some kafir corn and a mow full of hay, which were destroyed. The loss will be partly covered by insurance, but is quite a loss to Miss Moore, nevertheless. Lightning struck several telephone poles near her home during the storm.
