Have Lost All Their Hay, Grain and
Pasture and Some Their Homes.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Oct. 31.-Lawyer
Willard Boone, who yesterday arrived
from the western part of Kansas, re-
ports terrible prairie fires in Geary and
Ford counties. For miles the Santa
Fee train, on which he was passenger,
travelled at it's utmost speed through a
sea of flame, with every window and
ventilatOr down. From the train
could be seen burning farm buildings
and stacks of grain AMI hay, and peo-
pie and stock fleeing before the flames.
Mr. Boone says there must have been
number of human lives and many
head of stock lost in the vicinity of
Beaumont, Butler county. Thousands
of acres of grazing land were burned
over Thursday night. Fences were de-
stroyed and stock was burned or scat
tered in all directions.
Inquiry at the local Santa Fe office
failed to gain any information, al
though it was said there it was possible
for such a state of affairs to exist and
the local office know nothing of it.
Near ArgOnla, Mrs. 4. IW1nlng was
burned up in her house. This fire sur
rounded the town of Argonia, and it
took hard work to save the buildings
on the outskirts.
A telegram from Guthrie, o. r.. re-
ceived late last night, says prairie fires
have swept over the entire Pottawat-
tonic reservation and the adjoining
countries doing thousands of dollars
damage. Hundreds of farmers have
lost all their hay, grain and pasture,
while score or more have their homes
destroyed Many new settlers were
