Last Thursday night at about one
O'Clock fire broke out in the Junction
Mills barn, and the building together
with its contents, except the live
stock, was reduced to ashes. The mill
whistle brought the people out in full
force, but the flames made such rapid
progress that but little could be done
in the way of saving property. The
loss was about 81 900, which was par
TALLY covered by insurance. The fire
was doubtless OF incendiary origin.
