The Fire at Poplar.

Inc hfe which started in Minnesota
last week traversed across this county
following straight along town A. and
much damage was done although no
| lives were lost.
The greatest damage done to settlers
was out in the town of Brule at and
near Poplar station on the Northern
Pacific road. The full amount of darna
! age done Is hardly known as vet. but
we have heard OF good many suffer
ers.
Andrew La Moon lost l25 cords Of
wood, the product of his labor last
winter and which was to provide his
support the coming winter. He lives
J on Omaha land and has a wife and
three children.
Charles Asker lost barn, hav and
wood. He has a family of whom two
sons and daughter are able to earn
something.
Charles Jones, homesteader, lost
stables, hay, and all his garden truck.
tie has some stock. He has a large
family dependent upon him.
Mr.. johnson, a section laborer, has a
wife and two children at home. Lost
all he had including his garden truck.
Elllck Berg has wife and one child.
Lost everything except the clothes he
wore.
Charles lsaacson lost his stables and
all his hay and farm products. Has a
wife and one child. He will be given
work by Mr.. Chase in his mill.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson, an aged couple
who get their living by cutting and
selling wood, lost the labor of last win
ter in so cords of good hard wood.
These are the most destitute cases.
Thomas Doherty lost good many saw
logs, some fencing etc; VIM. Brvden
lost some fencing, crops and wood;
George Doherty lost some logs, fencing
and hay; J. VI. NJ. Peterson lost half a
mile Of fencing and some wood.
Among these sufferers three lost their
little homes, and in the village the
school house was burned, and it was
only owing to a shift of the wind which
turned the course of the flames little
that Mr.. Chase's mill and a million feet
of lumber was saved. In fact the whole
town was thus saved, the flames pas
sing within six feet of one house and
ten feet of another without setting
them on fire, and thus the little bamlet
was saved.
