FIRE STARTED BY PIPE.

Sioux Falls Is. d. Cor. Chicago Inter
Ocean: Particulars OF an incident which
illustrates the highly combustible condi-
ton of the prairie grass at this time of
the year. have been received from Greg
tractor, went to the re ranch to talk over
business matters with r. d.. Elliston.
After concluding his business with Ellis
ton, he, after having, as he supposed,
knocked all the fire and ashes out of his
pipe, placed it in his pocket mounted his
pony and started for his home at Bone
steel. After riding about half a mile he
cover the pipe had burned it's a
out. Not wishing to lose his pipe he
turned with the intention of retraciny
his steps to hunt for the missing article.
70 his dismay he saw a rapidly increas-
ing prairie fire about a quarter of a mile
behind him and bearing down upon the
ranch house with great speed. AS the
fire was between himself and his friends
home he could do nothing to save the
property from what appeared to be GER
tain destruction. 1t CHANGED that a num-
Der OF Sioux Indians were travelling
along the road only a short distance
away, and, with gunny sacks, coats and
other articles. they worked as indian
seldom no.. Accustomed to fighting this
foe of the prairie farmer, the Indians
managed, after half an hours hard
work. to e~xtinguish the flames, but only
after they a burned within a short
distance of the ranch hay corral, in
which was stored about 100 tons of hay.
In Bru county a liveryman and a
travelling man We're driving to a town in
the interior some time ago. At a point
on their journey they ould save consld-
cradle travel by making a short cut
across the level prairie. Neither was
smoking, or had been using matches, yet
before proceeding far they discovered a
bad prairie fire behind them. No one
else was in sight. and the only way that
they could afterward account for the
starting of the fire was hat the wheels
of their buggy had struck q stone with
such force as to cause sparks to fly from
it, and thus started the fire in the dry
grass over which they were driving. A
strong wind was blowing, and the fire,
before being stopped many miles away
did great damage, n farmer losing his
barn and all it's contents, together with
a number of smaller buildings near it.
Steps We're taken to arrest the liveryman
and travelling man, but as no evidence
could be secured against them the suit
for damages was dropped.

What to wear n when to wear it are
subjects that have engaged the attention
of the human race ever since the days of

Not alone are women concerned in mat

themselves considering the changes of
season and the consequent changes in
style.
In a sulky sort of way a man plans his
Easter suit. He has nothing to wear, and
he knows it: he is also sure that he never
will have anything to wear. No, he must
