fires Tuesday and yesterday. has not been
heard from, but it is thought to be all
right, as the few people who reside
there have had great deal of ex-
perience with such fires, and have
undoubtedly saved themselves by back
firing. Smoke from the three fires has
been so great rs to obscure the sun in MANY
sections. Farmers coming into town state
that they drove for miles through clouds of
dense smoke, through which they had to
grope their way, although they were miles
from the fire. Damage to the amount Of
SIS, 900 Is already reported here. One fire
has burned over seven thousand acres
The ire was started in the forest below
Williamstown junction, on the Atlantic CITY
railway, this morning Hundreds Of acres
of wood have been destroyed, but most of
the farm houses were saved. Towards
evening the fire divided, and tonight the
main branch is burning furiously in the
neighborhood Of Hays mill, near Atco.
Hundreds Of men were out fighting flames
and endeavoring to save the buildings in its
course.
The other branch of the fire is sweeping
through avenues in Chiselhurst. Section
men on the railroad have been fighting the
fire all the afternoon, and residents are
fatigued and DISCOURAGED
The FIRE above the Crew road DESTROYED
thousands Of acres of small woods and big
swamps Of cedar.
Early this morning this town and sur
