fire company got there. and the fac

under control, but not before about
$4,000 damage was done. The part
OF the factory not burned was badly
damaged. This factory belongs to
Thomas @. Anderson, and has been
burned twice before. This time the
factory was covered with metal shin

It has been thought not worth while
for an inland town to worry much

There wouldn't be so many rats If it
