found the ruins of the -four mill on fire.

the office building which was saved
from destruction by the fire depart
ment at the time of the mill fire three
weeks ago.
We Immediately summoned help and

render aid in getting the fire under
control. When all was ready for ac-
ton the blaze had spread to such an
extent that it was starting to burn
on the northwest corner of the office
building.
If the fire would have been seen
only 20 minutes later it would have
been necessary to turn in the fire

ment to save the office building and
avoid the spread to other near build
ings. The turning in Of the alarm

Today crew of men were at work
