Some low wretch attempted to
burn the Delaware mills, at White
Oaks, Friday night. The fire was
set between the boiler house and the
main building and all that saved the
building was the red paint, which
refused to burn. Mr.. Sidney Parker
got up in the night, about 2: 30, and
noticed the fire. He gave the alarm
and also awakened Charley Bull and
j. A. Brothers. They proceeded
to the mill, and got the pump tc
working, and it wasn't long before
the dastardly attempt to burn the
buildings, and with it about twenty
thousand dollars in fine machinery
was frustrated. Johnny Woodland
was sleeping in the mill at the time
and, as there was a large amount o.
giant powder stored in the building
if the fire had gotten under better
headway, in all probability, Johnny
would have been blown hence. Al
