Sully county, Dakota, to fnd out where
the Minneapolis council could best rem
der some assistance to the people who
are suffering from the recent prairie
fires, returned Wednesday morning.
He reported a state of affairs fully as
bad as chro1icled in the newspapers.
The alderman went over the ground
thoroughly. lie found that some one
hundred families were burned out, and
unless fifty Of them get assistance from
outside the county there will be great
deal of suffering. at least fifty of the
families lost everything they owned ex-
cept the land they lived on. Horses,
COWS, stock, grain, everything went.
The alderman thought that the council
ought to donate about $1,000.
