Three Cottage* Burned at the
Cotton Mill
i
Fire destroyed three live room
cottages in rear of the Manes residence
about 11 o'clock Thursduy. j
The firo originated from the stove
flue of the cot!ago occupied by I
Mr Jesse E Sargeo and lmd made ,
such headway in the roof when ,
discovered that cilorts to extinguish
tho flames svoro futile. In
addition to this cottage tho cottages
on either side, occupied by
Mr W J Cauthen and the other
by Mr Ernest Cauthen, were also
burned. The cottage occupied by
Mr Jesse Bhukmou also narrowly
escaped being burned as well as ,
the residence of Mr ? ? Evans. (
Tho firo was easily checked when
the hose pipe from the mill was
brought up and a stream turned ,
on it. Tho mili cottages were
fully insured but Mr Evans had i
no insurance on his homo which !
was damaged probably to tho j
amount of $50. The occupants of ,
the cottages saved about all their*
household effects ( xcept Mr S u
geo who lost a small portion of
Ins. A bull dog belonging to Mr.
Sargeo and which was in the cook
room by tho stove, would not'
come out nor let any ono come '
near it and it was burned up.
