Arlington Mill Burns;
Loss $4,000

Flames, sweeping swiftly beyond
control from fire believed to have
originated in the engine room of the
Farm Service Center at Arlington at
5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, razed the
elevator and mill feed structure with
a loss to property and contents esti-
mated by the owner, Lee H. Gillespie,
at not less than $500. He said the
loss is partly covered by insurance.
Between two and three carloads of
grain and several hundred sacks of
feed were consumed by the flames,
while Arlington and Dunkirk fire de-
partments stood by to protect the
threatened stockyards of the Kennett-
Murray and company. A small
building containing seed cleaning
equipment just north of the elevator,
was saved by the firemen.
The Farm Service Center, which
stood just north of the A. C. & Y,
railroad, was just to the west of
Main street and reached by a cinder
drive which extended around the
structure. 1t was completely re-
modelled few years ago and was in
creased in capacity to hold from
eight to ten thousand bushels of
grain. At this time a complete
equipment of feed grinding, mixing
and sacking machinery was installed.

gineering at Ohio Northern univers-
