On Wednesday, September 6, per-
haps the hottest day of the year,
at about2 o'clock, p. NJ, the fire alarm
was sounded by whistles at both knit
ting mills, and soon the fire was dis
covered to be in Andrews and Cough
enour's knitting mill. At first it was
thought impossible to save it because
OF the lack of water; but the large
crowd that gathered soon put the fire
under control. The building was dam
aged some and there was some dam
age to the stock, but it was all fully
insured.
The mill is double building; sin
gle story building in front and two
story building back. Where the
buildings join there is small open
space and it was thought spark from

The mill was shut down the remain
der of the week as a result OF the fire.

DIR. NOBLITT ON TRIAL.

DIR. w. S. Nobitt was before the
board of health at a special meeting
held yesterday afternoon on the
charge of violating professional rules.
Marshal Brown challenged the actions
of Noblitt in police court last week,
and that caused the board of health to
take cognizance of the matter.
Judge Wilcox and Chas. j. Faneuf
were examined to show that the de-
fendant had violated the set rules of
the board. When this part of the pro-
gram had been finished DR.. Noblitt
asked a continuance of the case until
next Wednesday when he would pro-
duce witnesses in his own behalf.
Granted.
