more furIous.y than ever known before In
the Saptiam country. One fire near
Leedy's mill is making its way eastward
and another north OF Niagara Is under good
headway In the same direction, and three
miles east of Idanha Is another. The most
furious one, and one that Is spreading In all
directi ,ns, is five miles up the Breitenbush.
There is no possible chance of checking the
fires until heavy rains set In. Millions OF
feet of fine timber will be destroyed in the
mean time.
