Saturday morning the fire alarm
sounded at 8 .o'clock, which aroused j
our people to action at the steam mill
of Prouty q Miller. The hose com
pany was soon on hand and saved the
boiler room, although one of the three
boilers is somewhat damaged. The
main mill was burned and the ma
chinery a total loss, save the clap
board planer and edger. The out
buildings caught fire several times, but
it was extinguished by the help of the
pail brigade. Prouty q Miller are an
firm, with a great deal
of push, and although they have met
with loss of about $4,000, talk of
rebuilding at once. 1t is hoped they
will, as they were employing from 30
to 80 hands i'm and about the mill. Or
igin of fire unknown.
