There were three fires at the Abbott Mill
on Monday ,.and two general alarms were
sounded. All We're on the outside of the
main building. The first caught in the
shavings used to bank up the mill on the

the last in a pile Of sawdust on Mill street
side. IL is the general opinion that they
caught from sparks from a locomotive on
the morning freight. Very fortunately
were discovered in time To prevent much
g
fire as il could be, as the wind was high
and the weather was zero. It is said that
the engine was an old one and the spark
arrester was gone.
