for large interests and mentioned
that we must also take into con-

look for the one most competent
to fill the post and suggested that

CONTINUE FIGHT
Owner Undecided As
to Rebuilding; MAY
Make Addition To
Plant Under High
Bridge

The Baraboo rug mill in Glen,
vile was destroyed by fire Of I'M.
known origin early this morning.
The building and machinery val
ued at $4,000 this afternoon was
nothing but a pile Of smoking en-
bers and old iron. The loss was
only partly covered by insurance.
The power house alone, next to the
river was left standing. This build
ing is of cement while the rest of
the mill was of wood.
Lee Westenhaver who resides in
the first house north of the mill
noticed the fire first when he saw
flames bursting out of the garage
door of the building. He quickly
spread the alarm about 4:40 this
morning. Bucket brigades were
organized and the Baraboo fire de-
partment summoned. The local fire
fighters were only able to use
chemicals on the flames.
The energy of the fremen and
residents was devoted to protect
ing the six residences close by
the mill after it seemed apparent
the building was doomed. Famed
by stiff south wind, the sparks
and flames flew in every direction
and all who resided in the vicinity
Of the mill became alarmed for the
safety of their homes. At the
Westenhaver place all the valu-
ables were taken from inside in
case it should catch on fire quick
~. Men were stationed on roofs
with buckets of water, prepared
for flying embers that might catch
on the shingles.
Burned Eight Years Ago
The mill was destroyed by fire
eight years ago in January also
and was rebuilt again soon after.
The owner George o. Macarthur
now is undecided whether he will
rebuild on the same premises or
add an addition to his plant near
the high bridge.
