Heavy Losses Suffered In Southern Min

Fires.

Heavy Losses suffered In Southern Min
nrsnta and Northern Iowa by Prairie
Fires.
ADRIAN, Mimi, April 5.-Tuesday
afternoon about 3 o'clock a terrific gale
of wind struck this section of Minnesota,
and Northern Iowa, and continued to
blow with furious violence for nearly
twenty hours. The air was so filled with
dust that it was impossible to see forty
rods. Prairie fires have been running
for several days in this vicinity, and it
was feared that much damage would be
done. Reports are now coming in and
the worst fears were verified. In Leola
township, this county, the farm house,
%granaries, machine sheds, barn, machin-
cry, grain and five acres of trees were
burned for Frank Mclean. Loss over
5000, with an insurance of only 1900.
Just north of Murray county the farm
house and other property of Michael Lay
were burned. Loss 5000. Near by a
a school house was also destroyed; loss,
5000. Numerous other small losses are
reported. 1t is safe to say hat the loss
in this vicinity will reach tens of thou
sands of dollars. In Lyons county, Iowa,
the fire swept over two townships south
of hardwood, and reports say hardly a
farm building was left standing.

SCOTLAND, S. D., April 3.-Another
terrible prairie fire swept over the
try south of Scotland yesterday after
noon, and it's path is now marked
10y the slumbering cmbers of many
homes. The wind has been blowing at
the rate of fully sixty miles an hour all
day, and with the high grass as dry as
finder the terrific force of the fire is be-
ynnd description. At 3 o'clock word
vas brought into town that the prairie
was on fire northwest of the town, and
Immediately 100 men started in teams
toward the the approaching fire armed
with brooms and sacks. Arriving at
Alfred Browns farm, WI miles north,
all his barns, gronaries and cattle sheds
were in a blazing mass, and the efforts
of the crowd were directed to saving his
residence and beating the fire out that
would in Il short time have swept down
upon the town. Browns residence was
saved, but all his household effects that
had been carried out were burned.
One mile north of Browns place the fire
burned Henry llagelfry out of his every
earthly possession. His house, barns and
stock were consumed, and he barely
escaped with his family. Across the
road from Hagelfry lived d. X. Tomli-
SOL, a prosperous farmer. and everything
about his place except his house was
swept away. Five horses and other live
stock were among his losses.
The town of Olivet, the county seat of
Hutchinson county. eight miles north, is
reported to be more than i:alf burnt up.
The bridges on the railroad east of town
were burned. The losses for the last two
days will be fully $4,000. The fire com
pany have detailed five men to watch
for other fires during the night.
