SECURING MILLS ABLAZE
San Angelo Goes up
in Smoke.

The old building, for so many
years the pride of San Angelo,
and of more than passing inter-
est to visitors, known as the
securing mills, was DESTROYED by
fire Saturday afternoon about
4:30 o'clock. The fire depart
ment turned out but on account
of lack of fire hydrants in that
vicinity, their'presence was with
out avail, except that they did
service as n bucket brigade.
The origin of the fire is un-
known. j. J. Crenshaw had
about IL or 10 tons of hay stored
there, and as it was n favorte
play ground for many of the boys
of the city, it is possible that
fire started from a match or
cigarette accidentally put where
it would catch. A crowd of boys
we're playing ball at Spencer
Park and it was only through
their hard work and exposure, in
which some men who arrived
soon after seeing the blaze joined,
that the park fence and grand
stand and J. J. Crenshaw's resi-
dence were saved.
A hard northwest wind was
blowing and sparks from the
burning timbers ignited the
cedar posts and the pine boards
forming the park fence. The
posts were saved with water and
burning boards were torn loose
that they might not couduct the
conhagration to their fellows.
Water and wet blankets were
used enthusiastically that jim
Crenshaw's house might be saved
and it was only through persist
ent efforts that this was done.
There was no insurance.
A BIT OF HISTORY.
A stock company, in which P.
G. Lee, S. l.. S. Smith. j. l..
Millspaugh, Frank Lerch and
other old timers were interested,
erected the building in 1884 as
Touring mill. The company
was and is kno II as the San
Angelo Milling Co, and had for
it's object the making of flour.
Machinery was ordered and re-
ceived but was never put into
position. The original cost of
the building was between $4,000
and $4,000. The stone used in
ITS erection was quarried near this
city and the lumber and heavy
timbers were freighted overland
from Abeline. This was before
the days of the Santa Fe.
From 1898 to 1900 the building
was leased to Halfin IL PresUridge
who operated therein a securing
mill. The business was a success
the proprletors making money OF
their venture until the machinery
became worn and the price Of
wool very low. Interest was ther
lost in it and the securing Of
wool for San Angelo was discon'
tinued.
Since the fire the walls have
begun to crumble in places al
though at first it seemed tina
they would remain intact.
