EVERY EvENING-oNE CENT
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Cotton Storehouse Of B. B. & r.
knight at Pontiac Burned.
Good Work Done by Fire Brigade
or The MIL.

The residents OF Pontiac were startled
about half past eight o'clock last evening
by the changing of the mill bell, and
rushed out of their houses to SEQ q bright
blaze in the rear of the bleacbery. 1t did
not take the excited employees of the mill
and bleacbery long to realize that their
means Of support was In danger and they
quickly gathered at the mill awaiting the
orders of Superintendent Sommersby.
The fire, which was in the large cotton
house between the large stone storehouse
and the river was discovered by the
watcbman while making bis rounds and
he immsd lately gave the alarm by ring
ing the mill bell. The building, which
was Q wooden structure about 100 feet
long, and 75 feet wide, was burning
oriskly when the Dire was discovered and
at first it iooked as though the other
buildings we're in danger. The force
pumps in the mill had been started az
soon as the d re was discovered and when
Superintendent Summersby and the oper-
atives arrived there was a good head of
water on the mill bydrants. The fire
NOuDlcu OH tuc uoec
and in q very short time had several
streams Of water playing on the burning
building.
TheNstiok fire brigade was Immediately
summoned and Captain Wsrdell and his
men made quick run to the fire bring
ing their hand engine with them. Al
though the blaze had q good start II was
soon gotten under control and in an hour
all danger was over. There was about
2000 bales of cotton in the structure OF the
time OF the fire and the outside of many
OF these ignited and 1t was necessary to
keep streams of water playing on the cot
ton all night. The building itself was
entirely destroyed, but the greatest dam
age will be done to the cotton which will
ell have to be removed and examined be-
fore any accurate estimate OF the damage
can be made.
The mem bers of the firm are unable at
present tn tell what the loss will he, but
it will probably amount to between
$40. 900 and $50. 600. The cause of the fire
Ffvnot definitely known but IL 10 supposed
to be due to spontaneous combustion.
