Pete HAYNIE's home destroyed by fire about 7pm.
It was occupied by Carl CAIN and family; the greater part of their house- hold 
goods were destroyed. Fire thought to hae started in a flue in an upstairs 
room. The fire alarm was turned in late but it was too late to save it. No 
insurance. A bldg next door was saved. Mr Cain carried $500 of his household 
goods out. This is the 2nd house that Mr HAYNIE owns that burned on this spot - 
the other one burned about 15 yrs ago and 3 buildings have "shaveburned" on 
this location. The 1st bldg was a flour and grist mill built in 1858 and 
operated by the first steam boiler and engine ever in the county. It was owned 
by Frank PEDIGO, CULLENS and Frank MARRS. In 1863 Ol HAMILTON and his men 
ransacked T'ville and burned the mill and a water mill and the courthouse. This 
building is outside the city limits and it took six minutes for the fire 
department to arrive.
