What came very near bringing disaster
to the village of Barton Landing occurred
at 80 O'Clock Saturday afternoon in the
| form of a fire which started in the engine
room of the red mill owned and operated
| by the E. L. Chandler Co. A ball game
between the two mills was scheduled to be
played at two O'Clock in the afternoon and
the crowd was just gathering to attend the
| game when the cry of fire was heard and
but for the timely appearance Of the fire
| company the entire mill must have been
destroyed. The crowd turned in with
will and in three minutes from the time
when the fire was discovered two streams
] of water were being played upon the burn
ing building. 1t took an hour, however,
| to subdue the flames and at the expiration
of that time the entire engine house and
boiler room had been Quilted. No serious
damage was done to the machinery but
extensive repairs will be necessary on the
building. The loss is fully covered by
insurance. Had the fire occurre an hour
later when the men were all attending the
ball game or in the night time the loss
must have been very serious and the mill
total loss.
