many LOSE LIVES
IN PRAIRIE FIRE
FLAMES SWEEP OVER THOU
SANDS OF ACRES OF LAND
IN OKLAHOMA.
Survivors Are Destitute Of Clothing,
Food and Fuel-Property Loss Is
Immense-Kansas and Nebraska
Counties Also Suffer.

Lawton, Okla, March 5.-Driven by
terrific gale from the north, which at
times reached a velocity of 80 miles
an hour, prairie fire swept over 70, 900
acres in Comanche county, inficting
damage now estimated at 100000 and
causing a heavy loss of life. The city
Of LaWton was saved only by great eff
fort, while many farmhouses were con-
sumed. Kiowa county was also visited
by prairie fire, while damage is re-
ported from all over the southwest.
Losses Are Large.
The losses from wind and fire report
ed to date follow: Hobart. $4,000;
Vinson, $4,000; Lawton, $4,000; small
country town aggregate $4,000;
farm property, 100000. The loss Of
life is known to be large, but 1t is i'm
possible at this time to give any accu-
rate figures. A report has been re-
ceived at FIT Sill that an entire Apache
Indian village was swept clean. The
report has not been verified.
Hundreds Are Homeless.
Three thousand square miles of ter
ritory in Kiowa and Comanche coun-
ties were swept by the fires. Hundreds
of people are homeless and the fnan-
cial loss covers wide extent of coun-
try.
At Hobart, the county seat Of Kiowa
county, the fire approached from the
east, destroying the stables and fifteen
race horses, Is residences, two business
houses and various small buildings
Spreading to the southwest, the fire
swept acres of government military
and timber reserve and Indian school
reserve.
Spreading westward the flames COW
cred miles of the homestead district,
destroying houses, barns and stock. 1t
was in this district that five persons
are reported to have persisted in at
tempting to protect their property.
Fight the Flames.
Late at night the fire began moving
southwark toward this city. At mid
night 5000 people of the city were
fighting the fire. The advance line of
the fire was fully two miles in length.
BY hard work they saved the town.
Stories are coming in of how families
lay out on the prairie throughout the
cold night after the storm had passed,
with only thin clothes on. Hundreds
of people are destitute and are suffer
ing intensely from the cold and their
burns. Clothes, medicine, and physi-
clans are being sent out from all the
cities and towns of the district to re-
lieve the suffering.

freed the Bear.

( A large black bear was tracked to his
lair in a tree between Minneapolis and
st. Paul. +
A large number of people noting the
large tracks in the snow joined in the
chase, which proved exciting, as it was
conducted entirely without the aid Of
firearms.
A local museum was moving part
of the menagerie, consisting of four
wolves two coyotes, two bears, etc,
from their quarters in Minneapolis to
the museum at Harriet island in ST.

bears got loose and made immediate
tracks for the woods.
The keepers followed on the run and
finally brought bruin to bay, when he
took refuge in a tree He was at last
coaxed down by libations of honey and
other sweets

numerous descendants lived, and where

Chased by Wolves.

To be chased across the ice a dis
tance of five miles with pack of mad
wolves in hot pursuit, and burning his
clothing to keep the animals off, was
the adventure which Otto Bremner ex-
perienced.
Bremner is employed at the Schroed-
er lumber camp in Cook county and
while going to Tafte, postofice down
the shore, for supplies, he noticed
pack Of wolves a short distance out on
the ice feeding on the carcass Of a deer
they had run down. He tried to sneak
by without being noticed, but their
sharp eyes viewed him, and they were
soon in full chase. He had pack up
on his shoulders, and reaching for
garment therein, set 1t afre, and ran
with flame streaming behind him.
When one garment was consumed he
lighted another, and finally the pack
sack itself itself was used as torch
and before he reached Tate he strip
ped off his macintosh and consigned
it to the flames
The wolves were in hot pursuit, but
kept at considerable distance from
the blaze. Bremner was completely
exhausted from his race for life, but
barring few burns upon his hands
and face, he was little the worse for
adventure.

At Lake Pend d'Oreille.

The HERALD hasn't any shares
of summer-resort stock in its posses
sion up to date, and may therefore
sling out suggestion as to the ad-
vantages of one resort over another
without being suspected of a pock-
etbook interest What we wished
to remark was that a good many
persons are making a mistake in
rushing to Lake Ceur d'Alene and
ignoring that much more beautiful
body of water few miles further
on, Lake Pend d'Oreille. Here is
lake dotted with green islands
Occur d Alene has none), set like
an emerald gem in the midst of
real mountains, with shores un-
crowded with campers and cabins
as yet; far surprising any other
lake hereabouts in scenic beauty,
and in all the attractions that 60 to
make a camp-out genuine pleas
ure-big game hunting, fishing, the
granduer of mountain surroundings,
the solitude of the wilderness, with
Civilization" close at hand in the
little railroad village of Hope, ter
raced on a hillside. There be few
Pullmanites who know its beauties,
but there should be more. Ceur
d'Alene is pretty, but it is overdone
crowded, cityfed. Pend d'Oreille
is large, grand-an uncut emerald,
upon which Fashions distorting fin
ger has not yet been laid. Go ye
unto this water, if your camp-out is
to be the real thing.

Albert Fix and family, of
Uniontown, have been in the city
the past week visiting friends.
Kay, the jovial young Jap, has
had orders to return to the land of
his birth and take up arms against
the Russian enemy.
Miles T. Hooper, of Johnson,
would again serve his country as a
legislator, and is seeking the nomi-
nation at the hands of democracy.
The case of the state vs.. Bert
Smiley, who is charged with assault
ing Chas. Pierce on the 4th of July,
will be heard in Justice Swain's
court next Monday morning. A
large number of witnesses has been
subpoenaed.
&C. T. Hoffman, who lives
across the river from Wawawai, will
answer before Justice Swain next
Monday afternoon to charge of
malicious destruction of property,
the complainants being Hunt Bros,
orchardists, Of Wawawai. The dis
pute is over a small piece of ground
which Hunt Bros. have in garden,
and which Hoffman claims by right
Of filing upon a forty acre tract Of
government land, which he says
includes a part of the Hunt garden.
The charge of destruction of prop
erty comes from Hoffman's attempt
to build a fence through the gar
den, in which operation the melon
and grape vines were roughly
handled. The land in question is
some that Hunt Bros. have had
rented of Harry Mckenzie, and the
present crop upon the tillable acre
is valued at about 5000.

There is a decided lull III the
Auditorium line of entertainments,
at present; but it may be pleasant
ly broken in the near future if, as
report has it, the Spokane lady now
giving the spectacular Sleeping
Beauty and the Beast" entertain
ment in northern Idaho towns is to
visit Pullman. This play is put on
with the aid of local talent, nearly
all children, of both sexes, and the
special scenery which illustrates
this old, familiar fable of our child
hood days is supplied by the lady
manager aforesaid. The show is
said to be very fine one.
The regular quarterly meeting
of the Whitman county medicos
will be held i'll this city next Mon
day. Beside the regular program,
there will be interesting papers by
several physicians from outside the
county, and banquet will close
the session.
There was report upon our
streets that another cloud-burst had
struck Heppner, (Ore.) and killed
four or five persons, among them a
former Pullman boy, Edgar Reed.
This proved untrue, although a
small food did visit that unfortun-
ate town Tuesday.
Wheat harvesting commenced
at Garfield last Thursday, the we'll
known farmer and College regent,
R. c. McCroskey, starting his bind
ers in a field of the cred Russian

filled out and of fine quality.
There is said to be movemen
afoot in Pullman to organize a stool

place at the race track last Monday
evening when Roy Goldman, feet
sprinter, was pitted against Geo.
Galloway on his horse. The race
resulted from wager of $50 side
made by Link Meadow and Mr..
Galloway as to whether the sprinter

to the starting place by about five
feet. Dayton Courier.

9G>cccccI< -

In beautiful costumes, will give an
entertainment in the Congregational
church Friday, July %, under the
auspices of the Golden Rule society.
Mr.. Bassert is decided success, all
his characters being acted in cos
tune. He will give "The Wander
ing Jew" CDR. Jekyl and Mr..
Hyde, ETC., and lightning costume
changes, with comic impersona-
tions. He will also give a talk
about his own country, Holland.
Admission, 3oc; children, 15c.
According to the talk of the
management Cor, rather, to their
expectations), the coming exhibit
tion of the Whitman Co. Fair Asso-
citation will be the best and most
extensive of any yet given. The
general prosperity of the county
would argue as much, and impel
every rancher, merchant and man
ufacturer to contribute to the sew
eral departments.
The farmers are busy getting
their harvesting machinery in shape,
and from present appearances some
wheat will be ready to cut in a week
or ten days. The fall wheat has
ripened rapidly the past week, and
will make bumper crop, and these
late rains will bring the late spring
grain through with colors flying.
The city stock-pound has been
enjoying" quite patronage, of
late, although this was no doubt
unwillingly bestowed by the owners
of the incarcerated animals. The
marshals are vigilant, and no parti-
ality is shown. The wandering bo-
vine of a king is just as likely to be
shut up as that of a slave.
Prof. Severance, of the Agri
cultural College, has issued a "Na-
ture Study" bulletin giving expert
ments in soil moisture, effects of
water upon different soils, ETC., that

school teacher in the state for the
benefit of the pupils.
If the recent hot weather man
ifests an intention to return and re-
main long there will be two or more
parties formed here for an outing at
Lake Ceur d Alene. Arrangements
for one party had, in fact, been al
most completed when the rain set
in Thursday eve.
The Pullman Building and
Loan Association has just declared
a semi-annual dividend of six per
cent. Pretty good for SO young an
institution. The financial report is
published elsewhere in this issue.
Stewart Cofman left Monday
for his claim on Lo 10 creek, Idaho.
He was accompanied by his sister,
Bernice, who will remain for a
couple of weeks outing.

the members are no strangers to our
readers.

promises to be one of the best ever
raised in the state, and this, too,
minus irrigation.

tives here.
