Lumber company loses big mill - The sawmill of the Fischer-Scorgy Lumber company, situated here, was destroyed by fire early tonight with an estimated loss of $100,000, with $50,000 insurance. After the plant had closed for the day, an explosion, which was not violent, caused, it is believed by combustion from greased woodwork about the machinery.
