track near Napoleon, with the wind
taking it almost directly toward his
house and barn. The fire was discov-
cred almost Immediately and an alarm
given. which was responded to by sew
eral from town, and the flames were
put out before any damage was done.
AS soon as the above fire was extin-
guished all hands fastened dowa the
track about seven miles to fight q fire
that had been set by the stock train
which had arrived just before the
down-going train pulled out. Before
anyone reached this fire it had spread
over several sections and had gained
such Roadway that oil that could be
done was to fight the side fire. The
fire brigade followed the line of fire
until midnight, putting out about ten
miles of fire. The losers: Lindebalk,
80 acres pasture; Blanchctt, about 400
acres of grass and Is tons of hay;
Vrooman, about 400 acres of grass;
Watts, 70 tons of hay and 600 acres of
grass-his whole section; Sornie, 600
acres of grass. AL the above losers
have filed claims against the 500 for
damages. The freguard proposition
Is still the burning topic of the day.
