nearly everybody was ON the rush to the
gold fields OF Western Australia--Cool-

New Zealand gold fields en- route for
the new Ell Dorado. Some of the finds
are phenomenal. aud in one instance

gold. The Londonderry mine. one OF
the first discovered, was sold to an En-

The majority OF the miners were do

GORDON. Neb., Oct. ga prairie FIRE
is sweeping over the sand hills in this
vicinity and doing great damage. The
fames are travelling with almost light

in their track. Last night the fire was
driven by the wind through the central
portion of Sheridan and Cherry counties.
In the track were the big Osborne and
Spade ranches and number OF smaller
ones. This morning not vestige OF
these ranches exists except the burned
and scorched ground. At noon the fire
is reported to have reached Pullman.
and the whole country in that neighbor-
hood is roaring furnace. 1t is not
known whether any lives were lost, but
thousands of head of cattle have per-
ished. The people in the track of the
fire are fleeing for their lives, leaving
their property to the mercy Of the
flames.
The FIRE broke out last Monday in the
sand hills, about 30 miles south OF here,
and has burned over q strip OF country
100 miles in length by 40 miles vide.
The FIRE is burning in an easterly direc-
tion. The flames burned all the range
slick and clean on the Spade ranch, be-
longing to Richards & Cairns, and about
5000 tons Of hay, leaving 1000 ions. This
ranch has 1000 head Of cattle and IT'S

The next ranch was Len Osborne o,

The next one was Miners ranch,
burning all his hay, about 800 tens. He
fed about 200 head OF cattle.
The fire was swept on by heavy
west wind. Notwithstanding there were
80 men working like beavers to put it
out.
The next ranch to go was WoodrufPs.
All his hay WAS burned, about 400 tons,
and all the range. He supported about
400 head OF cattle. Woodruff also lost
his barns, sheds and corrals.
Mr.. Baugh was next in line, and he

The next was Davis. losing all OF his

not enly saved that vast amount. but

the past year we have experienced what
IL new phase in the history OF the
American people. A large portion OF

sumnlated enough In 80 years OF Repub-

veraes Of the past two years and two
years more of Grover, but we have auf-
fered sens ef the wants Of civilization.

tinues:
