said: "By the way, Mrs. Blank, may

Yesterday was one of the widest,
stormiest days we have ever seer in
Dakota. The wind blew a perfect hur-
ricane at times, and the air was filled
with clouds of dust so dense that OBJ
jects a short distance away could not
be seen. A number of outhouses were
blown over and shingles were blown
from the roofs of several buildings. A
large piece of timber was blown from
the roof of the Hope House and fell
within a few feet of a gentleman who
was passing. Last night the wind
fell, and this morning opened calm
and cold, and at the present writing it
is showing.

Aged Man Lost

Lost in the woods for over a
week, and leaving no possible
trace or clue by which to follow
and find him is the mysterious
case Of William Furlong ST., who
last Thursday left the Furlong
home in SO % to go to Seth Car
penter's place four miles south
east, and has not since been seen
or heard of.
It was the old mans custom to
sometimes spend the night at the
Carpenter home returning the
next day but this time he did not
come on the succeeding day and
inquiry led to the knowledge
that the man had not arrived at
the Carpenter home at all. A
small searching party was i'm
mediately made up but the only
trace they found or has been
found since was the old gentle
mans hat which was discovered
in the road about a mile from
Furlong's. Word was then sent
to the surrounding settlers and
Monday morning a large party
started a systematic search. All
that day and the two succeeding
days were spent in vainly search
ing the woods but without
success.
The case is very difficult to I'M
derstand. Mr.. Furlong was an
aged man and cripple who could
scarcely travel at all except on a
level road; therefore it would be
impossible for him to wander far
into the brush. Being so old and
feeble no hopes are now enter
tanned of finding him alive, but if
dead what has become of the
body? The old man could not.
possibly have travelled over a few
rods into the woods and yet all
of the surrounding country has
been thoroughly gone over foot
by foot without results. Some
advance the theory of wolves or
bears making away with the body
but that is hardly probable as
they would be sure to leave at
least some trace.
VIM. Furlong Jr., the son Of
the lost man was absent at the
time the old gentleman was lost
but returned Monday to take
part in the melancholy search.
The accident is indeed a sad one.
At their home the aged wife and
the daughter-in-law Mrs. Furlong
Jr., waiting day after day for
news from the searchers pre-
sents a sorrowful sight indeed.
But little hope is now entertain
ed of finding even the body but a
large party will be formed today
to continue the search still fur
Their in hopes that the body has
been overlooked. = Bear River

nit does not relieve the holder of it
from the consequences should he al
low his fire to e%ndanger any other
property. The permit will simply
make the ordinary man more careful,
and prevent the irresponsible from
causing endless damage.
"The owners of woodland property
r frequently important taxpayers
in many townships; but, unlike prop
erty owners elsewhere, they can get
no insurance on their holdings. The
result is that a fire comes along and
sweeps away the value of their
woods, causing a loss not only to
the n but to the townships as
well. 1t requires NO argument, then,
to demonstrate that a little effective
protection from the fire would be a
wise investment, especially since one
half of the cost of such protection
comes from the state under the new
forest fire law. In view Of these facts,
the townships in which fire wardens
are appointed should, in the interests
of the taxpayers, heartily cooperate
with the state in making this law eff
fectual.
GAS AN ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure so is a care
full watch which prevents fires in the
woods worth days of labor and ex-
pense in putting out a fire that has
been allowed to gain Roadway. Bear
in mind. then, that the people of the
townships have 1t in their power to
solve the fire problem and save them
selves much expense by the exercise
of care and watchfulness."

mere Pond (station by same name on
South Side Rapid Transit railroad)
ten minutes ride from st. George, is
a fine place, and several fish of seven
and eight pounds have been taken
from these waters. Fishing seems to
be best from the shore in small pond,
though boats can be had if one wish
es. There are very few who fish for
bass on the island, perhaps because
the mosquitoes + very bad, and
they certainly are about the ponds.
Some time ago mention was made
of a large unknown fish that was
having a lot of fun in Greenwood
Lake with the anglers tackle. A
number of fishermen have tried to
catch it on the quiet and several have
suffered the loss of lines and, in two
instances, five rods have been brok-
en-. One of the victims, George Heb
Ter, of Newark, said he thought he
would try the spot mentioned just
for fun, and after a half hours troll
ling his line was drawn off the reel
as though by a strong arm. He or
dered the boat turned around, mean
while keeping his line taut. For fully
ten minutes there was a steady pull
and then there was a succession of
sharp jerks and his rod snapped. The
other victim was Thomas Lefferts, of
Newark, who had almost the same
experience. He has fished Green
wood Lake for fifteen years and new
er hooked anything like 1t before.
He claims to have had 1t take one
hundred yards of line from him, then
snap his pole in half before he could
recover an inch. With the swapping
of the pole the line broke and ended
Mr.. Lefferts's days sport. He is de-
termined to hook the fish and will
try again next Sunday.

FOREST FIRE
LAW IN EFFECT
Concerns Nearly Every County
in the State-TO Protect the
Forests from Flames.

The forest fire law, which was
passed at the last session of the New
Jersey legislature at the instance of
the state forestry commission, be-
comes operative on July 4th. The
law provides that the township COM
mittees of such townships as may be
selected by the forestry commission
shall appoint township fire wardens
to serve for the term of one year
The forestry commission, at a recent
meeting, decided to require the ap-
pointment of wardens in townships
containing about four thousand acres
of woodland. Under that rule there
are in this county to which the law
will be applied. The commission has.
had printed for public distribution a
number of copies of the fire law, to-
gether with an appeal to the citizens
of New Jersey to work for the pro-
lection of our fast disappearing
woods. These pamphlets can be Sc
cured without cost by applying to the
secretary, William H. Chew, Camden.
A portion of the law is as follows:
"An investigation of forest fires in
New Jersey his revealed the fact that
many citizens of the state take little
interest in preventing the ravages of
this destructive agency, or, at least,
do not become active In extinguish-
ing such fires until they have wrought
appalling damage. With the excep-
tion of fires started by railroad loco
motives, a forest fire in practically
every case is caused by some care
less man. In other words, it is near
ly always due to human agency.
There is no good reason why this evil
should continue; for If everyone that
lives in the woods, or goes into them.
would be careful and honest, there
woffd be many less forest fires.
ITO Tits end, therefore, an urgent
appeal is made to every good, law
abiding citizen to do what he can to
educate his thoughtless neighbors in
this important matter until a better
condition Of affairs prevails.
THE Law places certain restrictions
on the burning Of brush. etc. These
restrictions have been made neces-
sary because such fires have frequent
" been the direct cause of costly
forest fires, twill not be difiieult to
obtain permit for burning brush.
etc. from the township fire wardens.
bur II should be borne Ii mind Tint
the mere possession Of such i per-
