chop lnill, by hre-that Of w. c.
Chamberlin, on the Katy right-of-
way.
Occurring as II did before bedtime,
pretty much the whole male popula-
tion Of the city turned out, as well as
a great many ladies'
The mill had not been operated for
months and the only use made Of the
elevator and crib connected with il
was for the storage uf corn. II con-
tained some 250o or 5000 bushels, part
Of il Of the previous years crop, The
place was kept locked and had not
been visited since the previous day,
when Mr.. Chamberlin and his son
were down there. az which time every
thing was left secure.
The cause of the ire Is for these
reasons, a mystery
The direction OF the wind last night
was the most fortunate possible, and
placed the nearest building IN the
winds course nearly a block away
Mr.. Mason's hide house was very
much closer almost adjoining in fact
but was, apparently. never IN real
danger
FLYING cinders were all along mem
ace to adjoining property but the iu-
habitants were out with buckets exer-
cising every care for their extinguish-
ment.

there was little they could do All Of

Of the completion Of the watensorks.
