later hour than IL o'clock Saturday. At
three o'clock the fire was all put out, and
from that time until late in the evening the
employees were in and out of the mill
quite often. At six o'clock all the hands
had left except the engineer, Mr.. Brooks

covered issuing from the roof OF the mill.
Running out of the house, he went lmme-
diately to the mill, and found that there
was no FIRE in the lower part of the mill,
and the flames spread so rapidly that he
found the roof all ablaze before he had
time to do ANYTHING. There seems TO be
no doubt that it was the work of an in
cendiary. for the mill was entirely con-
sumed when Mr.. Reed returned, at II
O'Clock at night, and the FIRE was all out.
The blacksmith-shop and stable, close BY,
were not injured by the burning of the
mill, but at three in the morning they
were both found on fire and were burned,
Notwithstanding all efforts to save them

fire. All the wood about the mill was
burned, and the entire loss Is estimated at
$4,000. There was no insurance upon
the property. Mr.. Reed is the heaviest
loser, two-thirds of the mill belonging to
him. and the other third to Mr.. Wade.
