About II o'clock Monday night fire
was discovered in the saw mill of Bras
sau e. Lamorder located in East Middle
bury. An alarm was Immediately given

entire structure was a total loss, to-

tingushed before night. The fire was
discovered by Mrs. Matilda Baker, who
lives near the mill. The loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000 with no insurance.
The firm recently installed a new mod
ern boiler and considerable other ma

firm are undecided as to whether they
will rebuild the mill, which gave en-
ployment to six men. There was about
1000 feet of lumber stored at the mill
which was destroyed.
