Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 65, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 April 1899 — Tom Boyle's Bad Luck. [ARTICLE]
Tom Boyle's Bad Luck.
Word has been received here that Tom Boyles’s saw mill, located at Smith Valley, in Brown County, took fire and was destroyed, last 1 Thursday night. The cause of the fire and the extent of the loss we did not learn. Mr. Boyle had a big contract for furnishing lumber for the Western Furniture Company, of Indianapolis. He will no doubt, purchase another mill or move one there which is now located elsewhere, and of which he has one or more. Reed Banta, of this vicinity was resident manager of the burned mill.
