Last Saturday night a short
while before 9 o'clock numbers

while. He was using one room
in the building where he slept.

leading to the Bala mill not very
far from the Coleman mill.
No cause is known for the fire
unless it was the work of an in
cendiary. The owner of the
building didn't save anything
from in the house and the build-
ing burned completely.
