whic was famed by a high wind that
swept ver the reservation at a velocity
of Is to 20 miles an hour, continuing
all night.
This morning many of the residents
and spectators who have field glasses
would be seen on the tops OF houses
watching the most destructive fire ever
seen since the red man inhabited this
country. Indian wigwamS We're burned
all over Trip ounty where they were
unprotected. That the Indian has fore
thought was strikingly exemplified by
the ~precaution they used to saw their
property when it was discovered that
the fire was beyond control. Many OF
them back fired around their places of
habitation and thus protected them
selves from the effects of the inevitable
fire.
The three families who were so UNI
fortunate as to lose their homes yes
terday are being cared for by their
neighbors.
Little insurance was carried on the
property. At the time the town was
supposed to be in imminent danger.
several thousand of the transients as
sisted in fighting the flames and excite
nient ran high. Many of the notary
Offices loaded their equipments into
drayS ana sent tnem TO the outskirts of
the town. All of the stores piled their
merchandise in front preparatory to
Loading it into wagons as soon as it
became Known that the fire was beyond
control.
A Crucial Time.
When the fire reached the town it
was soon ascertained that the facili-
ties of the fire department We're made
quate to check the flames, and bucket
brigades We're formed. Men were sta
toned on top of the buildings with
fire eNtinguishers and every precaution
was used to save the town. The citi-
Gems fought herct7ally, all of the bust
ness men sending some of their clerks
to render assistance. Hundreds of men
We're stationed along the line of the
threatened portion of the town. MANY
plows We're at work and several acres
of the soil We're turned over. Not a
serious injury to any person was re-
ported during the excitement. There
were a few minor burns and bruises
that kept all the physicians in the town
busy for a few hours.

While returning from a trip out on
the reservation, j. w. Neal, of Toulon.

ing the flames which had enveloped
her, setting her clothing on fire. Be
lieving that h government building
was in danger and in order to obyiate
the necessity of the people who had
already registered returning in case

of b registration and drawing. loaded
all of the blanks and receptacles which
hold h registration papers onto a
dray and sent them out to an open

Gettysburg, S. D.. Oct. 2l.-The heroic
action of several Gettysburg women in
taking off their underskirts and aprons
and giving them to the men to fight a
prairie fire prevented serious damage and
has made the women the heroines of the
occasion.
A fierce prairie fire swept Upon Gettys-
burg from the south. 1t was driven by a
regular gale and the residents at once
saw that it would require ~renuo eff
forts if the town was to be saved from
destruction. All the available men pro-
cured teams and horses, and hastily
snatcfed the u~nderskirts and aprons
which the heroic women gave them and
proceeded to a point south of town, head
ed off the fire and saved the town.

alone of the Antilles, are free from ma
laria- He thinks 1T must be because
the Barbados, alone of the Antilles, are
free from gnats. But why no gnats?
Because Of the wise and benefcient
profusion of fish called millions" The
millions eat the gnats while they are
still larvae. Acting on Major Holders
theory, the Jamaicans, the people OF
Colon and the colonists of British
Guiana imported millions and the gnats
vanished. In Africa, where rage the
most deadly swamp fevers, millions are
employed with immense success. The
same means has been adopted by the
