AN ENORMOUS Loss
Relief Train Held Up by Flames
Which Are Sweeping Over
Dry Country.

Deadwood, S. D., Nov. S.-Reports from
the lumber camp of the Mclaughlin Tie
and Timber company at West Nahant,
twenty-six miles south of here. tell OF a
fierce timber fire raging west of the camp
and close to the Wyoming border.
The company sent out a special train

sources but the train was checked by the
flames Which are sweeping east over dry
country where no moisture has fallen in
weeks.
The company has half a million feet of
cut timber lying directly in the path of
the flames, which will probably be lost.

RAILROAD SOUNDS THE
DEATH kNELL OF TOWN

Bryant, S. D., Nov. lit will be only
n short time until the little town of
Dolph, situated near here, will be noth-
Ing more han a memory. The construc-
ton of the South Dakota Central rail-
road through this (Hamlin) county
from Sioux Falls to Watertown, has
sounded the death knell Of the town.
The railroad missed Dolph by several
miles, the nearest new town on the rail-
road being Norden. The fact that
Doiph has exactly thirteen buildings is
believed by superstitious residents to
have had something to do with the
town going out of existence. The thir-
teen buildings will all be moved, the
majority of them to Norden, while the
remainder will be placed upon wheels
and hauled to Hayti, another new town
on the new railroad north of Norden.
