June 8, 1895 – “A fire, which was
undoubtedly of an incendiary origin, started in the Cloquet Lumber company’s
lower mill yard at 4:20 this morning. Fifteen million feet of choice lumber was
destroyed. The loss is $150,000. It is fully insured. Nearly all of the lumber
in this yard was last season’s cut, and was bone dry.”
