Fire Company Called To Quench Small Blaze.

The fire company was called at four o’clock Wednesday evening to the Donnelly planing mill, near the creamery bridge, to quench a blaze which had gained considerable headway and threatened the destruction of the large building. John Mohlman was cleaning and burning brush and ..the .fire made such headway that he. was unable to control it, with the result that a couple of the smaller sheds caught on fire and were destroyed. The prompt arrival of the fire conipany probably kept a fire—of much larger proportions from occurring..
