A prairie fire started just north
east of town, last Saturday, and swept
down toward Blunt at almost the speed
of race horse, stiff breeze blowing
from the north west Mt the time. Par

prairie fires and letting them get be-

to all that any party thus starting a
fire is both liable for the damage done
and also to a criminal action. Too
much care cannot be exercised
