The stave plant and heading factory
of L. D. Beal, near West Fork post
office, was consumed by fire last Sun
day night at about II O'Clock. This is
the second time the plant has been
destroyed by fire in the past two or
three years. Our informant says the
mill has not been "ired-up'' for two
days, and it is supposed that the fire
was of an in cendiary origin. At the
time of the fire there was several
thousand dollars worth of manu-
featured stock on the yard, but the fire
did not dan ,age it. We did not learn
the amount, of the loss or whether the
plant was J insured or not. 1t is to be
regretted hat we have people in our
county wlao would resort to such
means to "get even" or crafty a
trivial personal grievance. A man
who will eIpply the torch to his neigh
boris dive ling, barn or mill would not
hesitate t o commit murder. Mr.: Beal
has another plant of the same kind
near Gre eley'.-Centerville Outlook.
