Bad Fires Near Hinckley,

Hinckley, MIMI, July 1.-THE woods
and meadows from Hinckley to Browns
Hill, a distance of ten miles, are on fire.
Every precaution is being taken to pre-
vent the fire from entering Hinckley. At
Mission creek the John Martin Lumber
company's big plant is threatened. The
loss to the farmers is great. Everything
is extremely dry and unless rain falls to-
day the fires will do tremendous damage.
Men in great numbers are constantly on
watch and fighting fire.

Of rain that has fallen "a matter of guess
work. it is variously estimated at from

would indicate that the rain IS general
