Fields of Peat That Are on Fire.


Hunters who go to the middle divi-
sion of Roberts Island ought to be
warned to be careful of their horses" :"
said Mr.. Ditz
what danger are their horses in?" in
quired newspaper man.
'They are liable to be burned so badly
they will have to be shot," said Mr.. Ditz
already this season two hunters have
lost their horses in that way"
How did that occur?" was asked
'1t was due to the burning peat" Mr..
Ditz said. "You see, the land over there
is made ground and the peat is easily
ignited. What makes this fire danger
GUS is that it gives off no smoke, and
hunters may ride through the peat with
out being aware that it is scorching the
legs of their horses. When they turn
off from the road they go through long
stretch of this peat to reach the waters
edge. The horses legs sink down IN
this soft ground and he suffers as much
as if he were walking through a furnace
The peat may be burning where the
HuIlltI lies Ills dIllulttl, tIlu tLlcf6 Gue
hoyss's legs will continue to be roasted
until his owner returns and sees the
atony he is in"
Mr.. Ditz went on to say that it has
ntt yet been found out how the peat was
igaited
st may be due to spontaneous com
bustion," he said. "The heat of the sun
beating down on such dry and infam-
maole stuff is liable to set it on fire
Some people say that the hunters have
caused the fire, and others that it has
been caused by burning up the stubbh
No matter how it was caused, though,
horses have been killed by it. They
have not been roasted to death, but have
been 50 badly injured that they have had
to be killed, and hunters ought to be m
formed of the danger. stockton Re
