BOBBlN MILL
BURNED AT
LUNENBURC
Plant of U. S. BObbin &
Shuttle Co. Entirely Wip-
ed Out in $4,000 Fire

| The most disastrous fire that eve
visited Lunenburg started just be
fore midnight in the boiler room O.
the U. S. Bobbin & Shuttle Compan,
and wiped out the entire plant, in.
Guiding the boarding house, the
finished product and the large stock
OF raw product. The loss will ex-
ceed $4,000.
The fire was discovered about 11.3(
and spread with such rapidity that
the men who were suddenly awaken.
ed from their slumbers could not en-.
ter the wooden building to save theil
tools or any of the property of the
mill. The flames soon spread to the
boarding house adjoining and this
building was also destroyed, though
there was time to save most of the
furniture and the personal effects of
the roomers. The automobile and
four horses belonging to the corpo-
ration were saved. During the pro-
gress of the fire Rem Gee was over
come by the smoke and Saturday
morning was still reported as being
in quite serious condition.
Besides the mill and the boarding
house there were four large loads of
bobbins burned and the raw products
adjoining the mill.
The plant is located in the north
part of the town and has long been
utilized for the manufacture of bob
bins. About five years ago it was
taken over by the U. S. Bobbin G.
Shuttle Co. of Providence, R. l., and
this corporation has greatly increased
the business. Much new machinery
has been installed and under the ener-
getic management of H. T. Silsby
they have given employment to 25
men. The valuation of the buildings
and machinery was at least $4,000.
Manager Silsby had not compiled the
insurance Saturday morning, but the
insurance adjusters will reach Lun
enburg Saturday afternoon and once
begin the adjustment. The only in
surance carried by St. Johnsbury
agents, so far as could be learned,
was $500 which was placed with the
Crawford Ranncy Agency. The bulk
of the insurance is placed elsewhere.
