FIRE IN WOODEN MILL.
What Threatened to BE Sc
riOus Blaze Is Smothered.

Fire started this morning shortly before
noon on the second floor of the Western
wooden mills OF North Topeka The FIRE
was discovered in a big stack OF loose wool
IN rear room The wool had just come
out or the mixer and it is supposed that it
hsd been set on fire by a match that went
through the mixer with it. or else from a
nail OF other small piece of iron which.
coming in contact with the steel machine,
struck sparks into the wool.
The fire had a good start when discov-
cred, but the mill is well provided with
protection against fire. A two-inch fro
hose in the hall was brought into action
and several hand fire extinguishers were
used. The fire was all put out before the
department arrived
When word was received at headquar-
ters that it was the Western wooden mill

truck. The truck went to North Topeka,
but was not used.
Superintendent McAfee estimates that
the damage to the mill and stock was
about 500.

crowd did not as no call had been is
sued for that purpose and as the Wal
