is very near the home of Artist Charles

Gangs of men have been at work since
early morning back-firing and fighting it

fire is now fairly under control on the

ranch house. The danger is great, since
the hill is covered with timber and brush

direction of the town The flames are
running rapidly down the hill and many
believe they will reach the lodge gate at
