Locke Cotton Mill Fire Quickly Extinguished, March 28, 1924

Fire at Locke Cotton Mill

About a dozen bales of cotton were damaged by fire which was discovered shortly after 6 o’clock this morning in the cotton warehouse of the Locke Cotton Mill. The origin of the fire is not known.

The mill whistle gave the first alarm and in a few minutes quite a crowd gathered at the mill property. The fire department made a quick run to the mill, and the blaze was extinguished in a few minutes.

The loss was covered by insurance.
