Loss was estimated at $500. Lehman has sold the farm to Ethan Paules, York, who will take possession next month.

Lehman and his son, Kenneth, 18, operated the mill. Kenneth said no one was in the mill when the fire was discovered about 4 p.m. He said he believed the fire may have started in the sawdust pile from sparks spreading from a bonfire built in a steel drum on Wednesday. The elder Lehman said he had no insurance on the mill, which included a SO by 30-foot shed type roof over the main part of the mill and some rough-cut lumber. Mill power was supplied by a converted automobile engine.
