Disaster has attended this community
this week The fires that have been burn

their homes burned. In the vicinity of

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday nights
lighting up the darkness for miles around.
The fire came from the direction of the
Santa Fe road. but there is no certainty how
it caught this side the streams that defended
the farms that were burned. The wind WAS
exceedingly high on Monday the most de-
struotiVe day, and it WAS oulv through great
eAerron that much was saved that was

Along Neosho river and Allen creek a
