The forest fires in this neighborhood
last week were very serious About one
fourth of the acreage of Joseph G. Hinch-

cradle valuable timber was destroyed, but
Mr.. Hinchman did not lose any buildings.
William Riley's two barns and most of
the outbuildings on his farm, together
with the fence along the road, were
burned. Mr.. Riley's buildings were in
sured for about 81 900, which does not
cover the loss. J. M. Christopher had
considerable valuable timber burned.
The fire burned around the bog of
Prickitt & Sorden, and destroyed about
five acres of bog belonging to Elwood
Braddock, together with the house used
by his pickers. The new bog of Messrs
McSwiggen was destroyed. The fire at
tracted many people from town, and there
were plenty to help fight the flames.
Large pieces of charcoal were blown into
the town, and were seen in almost every
street. There is very little doubt that the
fire was of incendlary origin. When the
first fire was started two or three weeks
since some men came upon boy almost
in the very act of applying match. They
at once quenched the flames but allowed
the boy to go.

public thought they had eloped. but Mrs.
Sykes and his children remained loyal to
the minister and declared they thought
he had become insane. Mr.. Sykes was
said to have about $4,000 when he left
Bridgeton.
Miss Dangler, who is reported to have
said that she had been travelling with a
wealthy woman since she left her home.

watch and seemed to be well supplied
with money. The parents of Miss Dang
Ter were, it is said, informed by their
present pastor that their daughter was at
her sisters. The next morning after her
arrival Mr.. and Mrs. Dangler went 30
Mrs. Smiths to see their daughter al

was there, but they were too late to see
her. She has not been heard from, UNI
less by her immediate family, since she
