Forest Fire at Outskirts Of
Town Threatens to De-
stroy Entire Village.
WHOLE MALE POPULATION
FIGHTING THE FLAMES.
Cedar Yards Have Caught Twice
If Wind Changes the Town
Will Be Swept.

A forest fire that threatens to
destroy the entire village Of
Blackjack is raging on the out
skirts of that town and slight
variation of the wind to the
north will surely fan the
flames to the village and the
whole town will be destroyed.
At present the fire is at the
north edge of the village on the
east side of the railroad track,
where 1t has ragged during the
entire afternoon. The wind is
from the northwest and if it
changes slightly to the north
nothing short of miracle can
save the village from being swept
by tine flames.
The whole male population Of
Blackjack is out attempting to
arrest the progress of the fire,
and all the fire apparatus is on
the scene of the blaze.
The cedar yards of the Chicago
Lumber & Coal company and the
Throndson & Knutson company,
containing about 100000 cedar
poles, have caught fire several
times but the flames have been
extinguished before any damage
was done.
AS yet no call for assistance
has been received by the Bemid j
fire department, but it is prob
able that call will be sent in at
any moment.

SKULL
is CRUSHED
Farmer Residing in Eastern
Polk is Killed iu a Run
away Accident.

Hans Hanson, farmer and
auctioneer, very we'll known in
Polk county, living about two
miles from Mcintosh, was yes
terday hauling load Of wood on
his place, when something be-
came disarranged about the
harness on the horses, and he
walked out on the pole. One Of
the horses became frightened
and pushed him off. When he
went down the horses kicked
him and ran away. The wagon
passed over his head, crushing
his skull. Hanson's hired man,
who was a few rods away,
FASTENED to his assistance, but
found him dead. The accident
occurred about 6 o'clock yester.
day afternoon.
