F Ire Destroys Flour
Mill at Montrose

One of the biggest and most damag-
ing fires to occur in Montrose for
some years past. according to reports.
was that of last Sunday, when the
flour mill of Clark & Hoatell, one of
the most complete milling plants on
the western slope, was reduced to
ashes.
The blaze started in some unknown
manner at obout ! o'cock Sunday
morning and the flames had gained
such headway inside of very few
moments that the fire fighters of that
city were unable to battle successfully.
Books, notes and other papers of value
10 the owners were held inside steel
safe in the office and these were found
TO be in perfect condition after the
fire had wiped out everything. The
loss is estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000
The fire was at its fiercest point
when the Delta and North Fork ex-
cursionists TO Telluride that day were
returning through Montrose on their
way home and they were among the
first. it is said, TO give the alarm, for
up to that time no general alarm had
been given.
