Each of the millers, Smith and
Turner lost q suit of clothes and a
watch, and some money that they
had left in their pockets. The articles
were on the second floor, and the
smoke was SO dense that they could
not be reached.
The mill was built in 1888, by a
local stock company, and ut the
start there were over twenty of the
business men Of the city interested in
it. The smaller stockholders had
gradually sold out until now three
fourths of the $5O,OO stock was held
by the Davidsons, Chas. Gravel and
P. W. Blake. The officers now are
VIM. Davidson, president; Chas.
Gravel, vice president; A. r. David
son, secretary and treasurer. The
mill will be rebuilt and it's capacity
increased.
About an hour after the depart
ment had begun work on the fire,
someone in the north part of the city
noticed the smoke from the mill and
Immediately turned in an alarm from
the box near A. D. Harrison's resi-
dence. The firemen were notified,
and men and hose were started for
that part of the city, when it was
discovered that the alarm was a
mistake. The fellow who turned in
that alarm certainly appreciates the
value of q good electric system.
