The saw mill in the southwest part
of town owned by Arnold and Frank
Johnson, caught fire in some unknown
manner early Thursday morning and
was burned. The fire was first dis
covered by Frank Johnson, who lives
near by. Although he used his best
endeayors, all he succeeded in saving
was two saws and two belts from the
burning mill. An alarm was turned in
and the fire department made a good
rum but was too late to save the
building. 1t is not known as yet
whether or not the engine which fur
nished the power for the mill was rem
dered useless, SO 1t is impossible to
arrive at the exact amount of damage
done, though it will not be less than
5000 with no insurance. The mill will
probably be rebuilt.
