PRAIRIE FIRES.
Rage in all Directions From Minot
Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday and Sunday no
less than four disastrous prairie
fires ragged in the vicinity of Mi.
not, doing thousands OF dollars
worth OF damage. The fact that
we have had little rain for a
week or more, coupled with that
OF strong wind, seemed TO be
the cause of the fires.
Until the green grass gets a
good start, people cannot be too
careful.
A G. N. engine set fire to the
grass at the Erick Hustad home
neal town burning 700 cotton
wood treas, 100 cherry trees and
500 willows. j. N. Johnson's
pasture was burned.
Another fire southwest from
this city burned 60 tons Of hay
belonging to j. w. Winter, and
nearly burned Andrew Tingstad's
house and barn. The barn
caught fire but neighbors pulled
it to pieces, saving it. Many
shacks are said to have been
burned.
Chas. Funderberg's barn came
near going up in smoke at Surrey
Saturday night. Fire swept
across the right OF way from the
G. n. and leaped to his straw
pile. About twenty-five men
fought it hard, controlling it.
Beru McEoun deserves a good
deal of credit. Seeing there was
no other way, he pulled off his
trousers, and dipping them in a
tank OF water went after the fire
like a man who meant business.
A big fire south Of Surrey des-
troyed A. S. Olson's barn with
one calf, seed grain and hay.
Geo. Nichols who lives on the
Hestness place lost his barn and
a 25O pound hog.
