an estimated loss of $150,000. ,
Fire started in the east end
of the Dlant at about 9:20 p. m..-

tire mill and green chain. ;
The mill was not operating
at the time, but Shaw employes
ran from their Tionesta homes
and manned fire equipment;
The planing mill, shops, ware
house, and lumber in the yards
were saved from the flames. ;
. Cause Unknown
Cause of the fire was not
definitely determined, but at
the company offices here it was
stated that defective wiring or
an overheated motor may have
sparked the destructive blaze.
A watchman had made - his
rounds just five minutes before
the fire broke out.
Insurance Coverage
The loss was covered by In

emoloved in the mill.
' J. R. Shaw, president of the
