Bowan Brothers Feed Mill Fire Ravages Gaithersburg Plant
The Bowman Brothers Feed Mill in Gaithersburg burned down despite volunteers from three localities. Loss is estimated at 190000 for mill and stock, though stock value is minor given the mill’s daily supply of about 50 tons of dairy and protein feed to 30 farms in the Washington dairy region. George Wilson Blake, once a labor organizer, worsened skin infection after returning to jail from Frederick Emergency Hospital. Sheriff Horace M. Alexander and deputies push for swift disposition of charges to speed trial.
