 The fire alarm was again rung in last week Thursday morning, about 9 o'clock, by the ringing of the mill bell. A crowd soon gathered and it was discovered that some ungrateful person had made a bold attempt to set the Garland mill on fire, by covering rope with kerosene and setting fire to it. The rope was found on the stairs that led to all the rooms in the mill. The sprinklers soon put the fire out and not much damage was done. This all happened while the night watchman was at the Amidon ma chine shop, now a weave room, some distance away from the mill, making his hourly rounds.
