LOSES LIFE In
MILL FIRE
John Bradley, Waterman, Burned to
Death in Fire at Scott & Howe's
Mill Early Sunday.
PLANNING MILL AND DRY SHED
DESTROYED
Fire of Unknown Origin Gained
Considerably Headway Before
Discovered by Outsiders.

In fire early Sunday morning
that destroyed the Scott & Howe
Lumber company's planning mill and
dry shed, John Bradley, for many
years resident of Hurley, lost his
life. His charred remains, burned
beyond recognition, were found by
firemen after they had control of the
fire.
Mr. Bradley was employed as
Waterman at the planning mill and
how he came to be trapped in the
flames viii probably never be known.
1t IS believed, however, that in his
attempt to fight the blaze single
handed he was overcome and fell
prey to the flames. The remains
We're found in a doorway between
the engine room and the fireroom Of
the planning mill, indicating that Mr..
Bradley was making his way from
one room to another when overcome
When the fire first became
noticeable TO outsiders it was
breaking through the roof of the
mill and already had a good start.
The planning mill and dry shed were
burned to the ground A large
quantity of lumber in the dry shed
was also destroyed.
The firemen did good work in
confirming the blaze to the mill and
saving nearby property The
company office, but a short distance
from the mill. was not touched,
although a shed near the office was
scorched slightly. A pile of
lumber not more than fifty feet
from the mill on the north side was
scorched Near this pile of lumber
is a residence which was unframed.
The firemen were favored by the
wind in their efforts to confine the
blaze, there being but a slight breeze.
Two automobiles were destroyed
in the fire Buick owned by Anton
Gunderson, planning mill super
intendent, and a Cadillac owned by
the company.
The origin Of the fire is unknown
and cannot be accounted for, since
there was no fire Of any kind in or
about the building. At quitting
time Saturday night the fires were
pulled from the boilers, it being the
intention to clean the boilers the
following day.
With everything in the pathway of
the flames bone dry it made a
spectacular blaze that was witnessed
by hundreds Of people who flocked
to the fire. The fire started about
one O'Clock Sunday morning and in a
few hours the mill was a mass of
burned ruins.
The loss is believed to be in the
neighborhood Of 100000. partly
covered by insurance The Scott
& Howe company viii probably Re
place the burned structure with a
modern building.
