HUNTERS NARROW ESCAPE.
Flames Were Close to Camp When
South Dakotans Were Aroused.


Gregory, s. d., Nov. 7.-Three Greg
DRY men, Messrs. Hurlbert, Wilson and
White, together with Billy" their
cook, had an exciting experience while
engaged in duck hunting at Dog Ear
lake.
The men had had good success and
had succeeded in killing a large num-
Der of ducka While sleeping the
sleep of tired hunters they suddenly,
at about 230 in the morning, were
aroused from their slumber by the
shouting OF parties on the opposite
side of the lake.
The other hunters had realized the
peril of the Gregory men and saved
their lives by arousing them from
their slumber at the time they did,
for fierce prairie fire was about upon
them, and had they not been aroused
when they were it is almost certain
they could not have made their escape.
Hurriedly dressing the four men i'm
mediately set about the task Of set
ting backfires and after strenuous eff
forts succeeded in burning off a space
sufficient to save their camp, horses
and themselves from the fierce fire
swooping down upon them. 1t was a
remarkably narrow escape from hor-
rible death.
