have been On fire and the flames illumi-
mated the heavens at night until one can
read a newspaper a long distance away
from the burning swamps.
The wind Tuesday WAS pretty strong
amt drove the flames into the great
swamp westward of tbs Il wn of English
Creek, a village of several hundred in
habitants. The flames at one time dur
ing the afternoon were watched with fear
and trembling by the farmers and coal
burners, as we'll as by the citizens in the
village, who thought their homes were
doomed. The flames ont ued on in their
mad fight until suddenly the wind
changed from east to west, and thi
changed the course of the fiery demon,
turning the flames iu he direction of
the Tuckee City tract. Fortunately there
are but few houses in this tract, and even
though the h4mes are not exIiuguished
by the rain, which has now commenced
falling, the damage caunot be very great.
