Saratoga, Texas, March 17-What
may prove to he the most expensive
fire in the history of the Texas oil
fields found its origin in the center of
the Brice & Bradley property in the
Batson Prairie oil field at 7:15 o. m.
last night.
Several large tanks in this tract
have already exploded, spreading tho
flames in all directions. The stiff gale
is driving the flames down the lead
known as the Flat Iron and has about
reached the Moonshine wells and is
rapidly approaching the Mary Ellen
interests, and If not checked before
reaching this line of derricks and
small earthen and storage tanks the
result cannot be estimated.
Telegraph and telephone connec'
lions to this portion of the field are
disabled and immediate and reliable
information cannot be obtained.
At $3.50 p m. the fire was fiercely
fighting its way back over the already
burnt district, the high wind, which
had been blowing since early in the
evening, having changed its course and
taken up the opposite direction, which
is considered somewhat favorable as
the fire will not spread so rapidly over
this section, and the small army of
men on the ground IS in strong hopes
of keeping the flames ntisslr already
Travelled path.
SO far the extent of the damage can
hardly be estimated, but it is certain
that the ten three-thousand barrel
tanks and five wells belonging to the
Brice & Bradley people, Hughes &
Co.'s pump station No. l, including the
ten-air compressor Immediately back
of the Brlce & Bradley acre; three
tanks of $500 barrels capacity and six
wells belonging to the Drillers Oil
Company, and six wells belonging TIC
the ]. M. Gutfey Petroleum Company
were damaged.
Great apprehension is at felt at this
hour, IL p. M, as to the immediate
future course of the wind. In event
there should be no change in the wind
the fire may he held in its already
destroyed district.

were ordered to so to Dalny. AS the
ships, in single file, entered Port Ar

numbers. This they did. replying with

For Gre,UInq Girls.


West Pembroke, Me-, March 81
Mrs. A. L. SMITH of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommends
ton by the following experience;
my daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last a week
and would then pass off, In a month
she would have the spells again. At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
of her eyes would be yellow.
THE doctors gave us no encour-
agement, they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had
one bad spell OF course, we contin-
ued the treatment until she had used
in all about dozen boxes, and we
still give them to her occasionally,
when she is not feeling well. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are. certainly the best
medicine. fer isg girls -. ..---- :
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, fer by SO doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy, happy
future for them.
