the mill was one of Appleton’s landmarks, having been built 33 years ago. It was owned by W. J. Jennison of Minneapolis. The plant was a 500-barrel mill and fully equipped.
Splendid work by the firemen saved the large elevator and adjoining engine house. The $20,000 loss was fully covered by insurance.
