FIRE Is DEVASTATING
MONTANA RANGES
Thousands of Acres Laid Bare and
the Loss to Sheepnen Will
Be Enormous.

the Loss to Sheepnen Will
Be Enormous.
HARLEM, Mont, Nov. 24-A large
prairie fire has been raging for several
days forty miles north of here and
still is burning hercely. Thousands of
acres of grazing land have been swept
over and thousands OF dollars worth
of property has been destroyed. George
Petrie, a leading sheepman, whose
range is in the devastated portion, is
reported to have lost all his hay, his
residence and all the buildings.
1t is said that the fire started across
the Canadian line on Monday after
noon and during the terrific wind
storms Of Tuesday and Wednesday
moved with startling rapidity over into
the American possessions, from which
all kinds of antelope, deer and other
wild animals have fed. The fire was
plainly visible tonight and the sheep
men in its path will all be heavy
losers, for their winter range is de-
stroyed, together with all of their hay
for winter use and outbuildings.
Large numbers Of men have been
fighting the flames ever since they
started, but have not been equal to the
task. There Is talk of Iynching the
man who started the fire If he can be
found.

L is now recalled by the Snowden
family that when the Webers left for
rhetr San Francisco trip AdoIph made
some excuse and did not go on the
same train with the other members
Of the family. but followed them later.
L is the theory OF some Of the resi-
dents here that he remained over for
the purpose OF getting the money
stolen from the bank and that he took
ir with him and placed II in some safe
deposit vault IN san Francisco. This
theory is based on the assumption
that II was Weber who held I'D the
bank
Administrator Shepard places little
cre6ence in this theory, but may make
an Investigation. The officers to-day
were looking for Weber's missing

lieves that when found il will show
blood stains. The search so far has
been unsuccessful
The Placer COUNTY Bank officials
have announced that they viii pay

The bank also offers q reward Of $500
for The arrest and conviction Of the
thief. Many Of those who believe that
Weber robbed the bank are searching
in the vicinity OF the home for the
stolen money.
