BURNING OF THE
SOUTH FORK MILL

We have received a letter from
Mr.. ". U. Williams, giving the
particulars of the burning of the
South Fork mill on the afternoon
of June LIST. He writes that he
started up the mill 1t | o'clock to
roll some barley and had not run
over fifteen inmates. when the roll
jr mill belt broke. causing the
main belt to run partly off the
pulley and rub against the side of
a grain hin setting it on fire. The
pulley was only three inches from
the side of the bin and just under
the upper floor. in fifteen
minutes the flames we're going
through the roof and it was i'm
possible to save the mill.
Mr.. Williams was living in the
mill Office and lost everything he
had, including a library Of over
500 volumes. which he had been
a:.l llAting over forty years.
There was not much grain in
the mill and no flour. Mr..
Williams lost 2l4 tons of wheat
and 500 pounds Of barley: Clayton
Bros. lost a ION of barley; Hylton
4 Hanna about 80 sacks Of cats
and Drown Bros. a ton Of wheat.
Nearly all the men Of the valley
were at the mill in a few minutes
and worked like heroes in saving
the granary from the flames
which had begun to eat 1t.
Mr.. Williams says he is truly
thankful to his neighbors for their
assistance and greatly appreciates
their assistance.
There was no insurance on the
mill and its contents.
