The mill itself with all its expensive
machinery burned was u total loss.
Fire broke out about 2:l5, at $3.50 il
seemed to be eXtinguShed but soon
afterwards burst out i'm the third story
and the most heroic efforts of the fire
department were unable to cope with
it,. The elevators and most Of the flour
and feed on hand were saved. The fire
probably originated from spark falling
among the wood i'm the boiler room, no
blame attached to any one connected
with the mil. The insurance on mill
and machinery was 81. 600 which was
only about half the actual value OF the
material destroyed. The mill will
probably be rebuilt.
