A grass tire started in Bright's field
opposite Newmanville last Sunday
morning, and spread with great rapid
ity, notwithstanding all the efforts of
large force of men who we're
promptly on hand to stay its progress.
1t burned over some 40 or so acres of
dry feed. By backfiring it was con-
fined to the one field. 1t burned
from the jackson Gate road, in an
easterly direction toward the Ketcham
ranch. Had it got to the tall grass in
that field there is no telling where it
would have spread to. 1t is rumored

ign1ting fire along the roadside,
and the flames got beyond control.

last. evening but it was extinguished
before it had gained Roadway.
