GENERAL NEWS IN BRIEF.
At this season Of the yea 7, and later on in
the fall, there is an unusual liability to
fires along the lines of railroads. This
year the exceptional rsnkness of growth
through the prairie region adds an addition
al element of danger in this regard, and it
is suggested that farmers along the lines of
roads exercise greater care in the protec-
ton OF their fields from 61e by means of
firebresks. The railroad locomotives are
all provided with spark arresters and on
the part of the roads as great care is exer
cised as possible. Many of the fires which
occur are not set by locomotive sparks, but
by. persons out cunning, sparks from pipes
and cigars and from other causes, VERY
often in such cases claims for damage are
brought against the railroad companies,
and the question of liability In the matter
OF these fires is one of the most difficult
that the claim agents have to deal with.
