ACRES OF FLAMES
BY SUMMER HOMES
''ElIesley," Wallace Residence,
Threatened Today
Women and Children Fight Blaze,
While Farm Hands Plow
Burrows. A.1..AM1M
IT WAS REAL PRAIRIE FIRE

Realistic western methods we're
resorted by summer residents in
fight against a prairie fire at Mr..
George C. Wallaee's country place
in the Gregory Heights neighbor-
hood this morning at 1920 O'Clock
which for a while threatened the
handsome home. Lighted matches
dropped by small boys, in tall, dry
grass in a field near the house, re-
suited in fire that swept several
acres before it was mastered, and
partly burned down a fence.
Resourcefulness of the older farm
hands confined the damage TO that
extent. Hastily hitching up teams to
as many plows as could be secured.
a double furrow was plowed all
around the burning area and the fire
was thus controlled. Then women
and children, with the few male
hands on the place, augmented by
the other residents in the neighbour
hood, pulled. up the grass near the
double burrows and attacked the
flames with sticks and buckets Of
water.
The dry grass burned fiercely. Ev-
cry little gust of wind would give an
impulse to the flames and the little
band of fre-hghters more. than. once
thought the house would be reached.
The burning fence was pulled down
to stop the fire in that direction and
forming wall between the fire and
1 ha oh
men beat down the fire with sticks.
No Apparatus Nor Water.
Meagre fire fighting apparatus in
the neighborhood made 1t of the ut
most Importance to control the fire
in the field Not one Of the hand
some country homes around the wal
lace place is equipped to fight seri-
GUS blaze, the extent of their faciii-
ties being fire extinguishers and
buckets. The city wster mains do not
extend within three quarters Of
mile of that neighborhood Wells are
the only source of water supply.
Had "Ellesley", Mr. Wallace's
country place, burned, the pines,
Mr. Friedman's home: "Lolomai
Lodge. Mr.. George Flournoy's
place; Rustic Hair, Mr.. Gregory's
place" "The Cabbage Patch" and
Mr.. r. B. Phillips place, would have
been endangered. The houses are
separated by some distance, but fly
ling sparks almost certainly would
have set fire to other fields or hous-
es. Easily $4,000 of property would
have been in danger without much
prospect of checking the flames.
Not only western methods were
used in fighting the flames in the
field, the women showed true west
ern pluck in not croaking or calling
on their husbands in the city for
help. Many Of the men who own the
homes in the neighborhood did not
learn Of the danger until the FIRE
was out. It caused the greatest ex-
eitement in the neighborhood since
the homes have been built.
