Costly Lumber Fire Destroys 200000 Feet West of Indiana
A blaze at the David Campbell farm near Indiana destroyed over 200000 feet of lumber owned by John Miller of Plumville. Investigators believe a spark from the sawmill engine started the fire, with no insurance on the lumber. The mill, operated by T N Lockard, suffered minor damage, and firefighters could not save the lumber due to a water shortage.
