Fire at the Lower Works--0ther
News Items.

Yesterday afternoon about 8 o'clock
a large pile Of old slabs and cordwood
in s1e yard of the lower mill, caught
fire. The wood was very dry and at
one time the blaze was 20 feet in
height. The origin Of the fire is un-
known, but it is the general presump-
ton that the blaze originated from a
spark dropped from one CT the small
shifting engines used about the mills.
A large force of mill men, who live
in the vicinity, started to fight the
fire with small hose lines used in the
mills, but the stream was found in
sufficient to check the blaze. Several
sections Of city hose were attached
and turned on. Even with this large
stream it took several hours to put out
the fire. A large crowd Of t~ownspeople
were attracted to the scene.
