Fire damages sawdust house at Hard Wood Milling plant
A Sunday night fire partially destroyed the sawdust storage building at the Hard Wood Milling company. Investigators suspect spontaneous combustion from moist sawdust dumped onto a dry pile near the sawdust area. The steel structure warped but caused no insurance coverage. A rekindled smoldering fire required a second response. Separately an auto owned by William Anderson caught fire from a seized fan belt but was driven away before the firemen arrived.
