Saturday about 10 o'clock fire was
discovered in the Pulp Mill on the
Hydraulic, belonging to A. Hill & Sons.
The alarm was sounded and the fire
companies were soon on the ground.
The wind was blowing very hard at the
time, and by the time the engines began
throwing water several stables and other
buildings near by had caught and were
discovered to be in flames. The firemen
turned their attention to the burning
stables and residences at first, and soon
had them out of danger, By hard work,
in about half an hour, the firemen had
the entire fire under control. At one
time it looked like a great part of the
town would be burned. While the fire
was at its height on the Hydraulic no
less than three or four houses were on
fire on Main street. Thanks to the Holly
Water Works and the noble fremen in
saving us from a serious confagration.
The damages on the Pulp Mil are esti-
mated from 81, 500 to $1,000, and fully
insured. The fire originated in the north
east corner of the mill, among some
straw. This mill furnished pulp for the
paper mills, and will cause them to
shut down till the Pulp Mills can be re-
built.
