$4,000 DAMAGE
CAUSED BY FIRE

Planning Mill and Box Fac
tory at Thornton Burn
About Noon Yesterday.

The planning mill and box factory OF
the Sout Lumber company at Thorn
ton, south of Pine Bluff, on the Cot
ton Belt, were totally destroyed by
fire about noon yesterday.
The loss is estimated at about So
900, and is covered by insurance. This
announcement has already been made
that the building will be rebuilt at
once by the company.
The fire is believed to have started
from sparks, although this is not posi-
lively asserted. The fire spread rapid
ly, and it was only by the hard work
of the company's big force Of en-
ployes that other large and costly
buildings were saved from the flames
Only a comparatively small quantity
of lumber was destroyed with the
planning mill and box factory.
