LEWISTON — Chaos spread across the city Wednesday afternoon as the Cowan Mill on the shore of the Androscoggin River went up in flames. Buildings around it were showered with falling cinders.
That happened at about 4:20 p.m. when embers from the burning Cowan Mill floated down onto the roof of Bates Mill No. 5, setting the saw-tooth-roofed building across the street on fire.

thanks. it's funny that we hadn't heard about it from anyone. we didn't go by there when we were there in December . . . i'll have to check it out next summer when we drive up. (can't wait for this semester to end!)
