ROCKY M >UMT.
MANY CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE BY
FOREST FIRES.

Rocky Mount. N. c., Aug. 23.-For-
est fires ragged fiercely near Rocky
Mount for several days last week. a
great many hundreds of acres of tim
Der land was burned over, and on ac-
count of the very dry time. an immense
amount OF damage was done. Pine
straw. lightwood and fallen trees were
SMept nMaY as clean as If they never
existed. Standing trees. especially of
the smaller growth, were nearly de-
stroyed when in contact with the all
devouring flames. Stock law and pas
ture fences in the track OF the fire
were burned down-in most places the
large rain on Thursday night checked
the fires. The fire was said to have
begun from sparks blown from passing
railroad engines that first caught the
grass on the side of the track and
then spread to the neighboring woods.
Many claims for damages on this ac-
count. at any rate, are being preferred.
