NEW ORLEANS, La. July I6.-The
Picayune's San Antonio (Tex.) special
says: Tremendous prairie fires have
been raging west Of here along the line
of the Southern Pacific railroad. They
started Sunday and have not vet
been burned out or been controlled.
No rain has fallen for FIVE weeks.
and the grass is dry as tinder ANY fall
ing spark is sufficient TO ignite it and
the passing locomotives were the cause
of the flames. All of the water courses
have dried up, and in places where there
were once marshes the vegetation burns
tercely. The course OF the flames has
been westerly, and they have swept
every thing before them. The cattle
have been keeping in the hills, where
there is s.me water. and none OF them
were lost in the devastation OF the prai-
ries. Many deer. however, were driven
against the barbed-wire fences and
burned, and vast areas have been cleared
OF jack rabbits and smaller forms OF
