Helena, Mont, Aug. Fire in the
Yellowstone national park is being
fought by every soldier in the park and
all men engaged in road construction
work. Deputy U. s. Marshal jackson,
who returned from there and who re-
ported the fire, said when he left ii
was reported the fire extended dis.
tance of ten miles and was still spread
ing. Men who have been in the park
for years, said it was the worst they
had ever seen. Deer and elk have
been driven out of the fire area by
the flames. Buildings at the upper
geyser basin are in danger In the
dense timber region everything is un.
usually dry and winds are carrying
flames with great rapidity. In Mar
shal Sam Jackson's opinion, it will be
impossible for the force engaged tc
make any headway against the fire.
Helena. Mont, Aug. rs. s, Hunt
ley, of the Park Transportation Co.
who arrived here this afternoon frcm
Mammoth Hot Springs, says fire is
now burning on the Snake river just
south of Shoshone lake near the gov
ernment forest reserve. 1t is twenty
miles from the line of travel and is
well under control. Heavy rains
drenched the timber and underground
to such an extent that danger from
further spread is past.

neighboring country seems quiet Kit
chener is with the forces south of the

by a strong detachment of Brabants

heavy firing in the direction of Glands

distant, which looks as If the Glands

was retiring towards zeerust.'
