One of the meanest acts we have
known in this vicinity, says the Tri-
County News, was the burning OF c.
A. McKeehan's sawmill last Friday
night. Several people were in the
vicinity of the mill during the day and
can testify that there was no smoke or
sign of fire. During the night a fire
started and burned the mill and about
5000 feet of lumber. There seems to
be no doubt that it was OF incendiary
origin, burt who could have a motive
for such a ded is not known.
