Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-08-09

on "Wednesday evening found that
two stacks of barley heads, contain
ing between 800 and 400 sacks of
unthreshed grain, had been en-
tirely CONSUMED by fire. Fortu-
nately the wind was blowing from
his other stacks and towards strip
of plowed ground, which stopped
the connagration, otherwise great
destruction of grain would have in
evitably resulted. The fire Is sup
posed to have originated from the
lighted stump of cigarito care
essly thrown among the stubble
| by q man who works for Mr.. Weld,
as the blaze was noticed within u
very few minutes after the man had
left the place where 1t started. Peo-
pie cannot exercise too much care
In handling fire, especially in har-
vest fields. Had the wind been
blowing from any other direction
than the one 1t was, thousands OF
dollars worth of property would
undoubtedly have been destroyed.
AS it was had not Mr.. Yields
neighbors worked with a will, his
loss would have been much great
or.

posed of we'll known and reliable

biography from an old intelligent
settler of the TETON county. 1t

Indian word. 10 pronounce it cor
rectly, accent the second syllable
and make the long. Let our
brethren of the press make note
