Emery McCahen's steam ssw-mill at Ma
cedoria was destroyed by fro last Satur-
day morning between the hours Of and
O'Clock. No insurance. Benjamin Heller,
who lives at the third lock, was the first
person to discover the fire, he aroused the
neighbors of Miner town, and they kept the
flames from getting among the sawed lum-
Der. The origin of the fire is not known.
Three tramps went to the mill in the even
ing to lodge. 1t is not probable that set
of iramps would burn their lodging place
so early in the morning. 1t is not probable
that tramps would at anytime destroy j
place where they could creep in for shelter
and lodging. If it was set on fire by hu'
man hand, 1t is not believed that the tiend
WAS a tramp. but some local character. Il
might have caught from the engine fire
OF course all conjecture is at fault, and
there is nothing certain concerning it. ex-
ceptiny that Mr.. McCahen has sustained $
great loss He has the sympathy OF tn,
