The Willey Grain Elevator at New Bath Destroyed Saturday Night.
The large grain elevator at New Bath, a station on the C.C.& I. Railroad in Bath Township, with 1,400 bushels of corn, 800 bushels of wheat and a lot of coal in adjacent shed, was destroyed by fire Saturday night.
The elevator was owned by the Willey Milling and Elevator Company and was comparatively new. It will be rebuilt at once, as New Bath is an excellent grain shipping point. The origin of the fire is unknown.
