Most of our citizens were very much
surprised to learn, upon coming
down town this, Friday, morning,that
tlie Clare grist mill had burned to the
ground during the night. The ' fire
occured at about midnight and the
first one to discover it was John Dustin, who lives at the east end of 8tfc
street. As the mill is situated too far
out to be reached with water, he did
not give the alarm,but hastened to the
mill. Upon reaching it he found that
the inside was ubout all burned, the
ontside walls seeming to stand after
the inside had been consumed.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
and as water power is used and there
had been no fire in the small boiler
in the mill since 3 o'clock in the afternoon and when the mill shut down at
6 it was completely out. Also, before
leaving the mill the machinery had
ben.examined to see if there were any
hot boxes, and there were none. Consequently, the only conclusion to
draw is that the fire was started by
some miserable scoundrel.
The mill was erected about 4 years
j ago and is, if we are not mistaken, the
only institution in the city which was
erected by outside capital. The mill
was just beginning to gain a wide
reputation for the quality of flour
turned out, and farmers would come
from as far as Mt. Pleasant on the
south and near G-ladwin on the north,
with their wheat, etc. Thus it was
the. means of bringing trade to our
merchants which formely went to
other places.
The original cost of the mill was be-

tween $18,000 and $20,000; the loss is
estimated at about $15,000. This
severe loss was covered with a very
small insurance.
. Mr. Geo. H. Waldo, who has been
the prime factor in the mill's development, is undecided whether it will be
rebuilt, or not. If it should be, the
former site will not be chosen, but one
down town using different power.
