From all over the southwest and from

There are 1our cases in the county jail

of them are the result Of the heat. The
fourth is Mrs. Moses Davis, who is

On account Of the great cursh Of peo-

PRAIRIE FIRE RACES.
Pastures Are Killed Out Entirely Near
Guthrie.


Guthrie, o. T.. July Pa prairie fire
has played havoc with pasture lands just
north of the Comarron river, near Guth-
RE, over FIVE hundred acres being entirely
destroyed. The re started about noon
Tuesday and spread rapidly over the dry
grass and timber and was fought by the
farmers to keep IT from cleaning up their
corn and other crops. The corn is 50 dry
that wherever the fire reached it, it burn
ed as rapidly and quickly as the dry grass
Of the pastures. Only the unceasing ef-
forts of the farmers saved their crops and
possibly their homes and buildings.
How the fire started IS a mystery, but
it is supposed to have gained headway
from the camp of q Frisco surveying par
ty that crossed the Cimarron at that
point Monday and remained over night
on the land now burned. No other
theory can be advanced.
The heaviest loser on account Of the
fire was Alva G. Baldwin of the local
land Office. He has a portion OF the
school section leased and uses it for win
ter pasturage for his cattle. 1t was
heavy in grass and burned like tinder,
spreading so quickly that one hundred
acres were soon laid bare The fire did
not cease until it had reached the river
IN addition to the loss Of the pasture,
which knocks him out of q wintering
place for his cattle. Mr.. Baldwin also
lost by the FIRE several hundred fence
POSTS, the land being 1nclosed by barbed
wire.
Another heavy loser as a neighbor Of
Mr. Baldwin. The fire did great damage
TO his grass land and it was with difficult
~ that he saved his corn and orchard.
His neighbors aided him valorously n
fighting the flames from his crops.
The timber that covers the burnt land
was greatly damaged. The leaves on the
smaller trees burned as quickly as had
they been as dry as in December. The
smaller trees were killed entirely in many
Instances and the trunks Of the larger
one were ali charred ana blackened.
This prairie FIRE is accounted the most
damaging one that has visited this coun-
" in years. 1t Is thought that the pas
lures are killed out entirely although the
autumn rains may bring them out to
some extent.

Very Slowly. but Enough to Cause Hopes
for Her Recovery.
Washington, June 1O.-rhe slight
improvement in Mrs. McKinley's
health which manifested itself the lat
ter part of last week, continues, and
hope begins to be felt that she may,
after all. recover from the present at
tack. The improvement, however, is
SO slight as not to change materially
the extreme gravity of the case. Mrs.
McKinley's physicians say her illness
was caused by blood infection from a
bone felon. While In California this
was aggravated by diarrhea, which is
now under control.
The principal cause of anxiety in her
case since her arrival In Washington
has been acute endocarditis Qnflamma-

result Of the same blood infection.
