GREEN MOUNTAIN
FORESTFIRE NOW
UNDER CONTROL
Over a Hundred Men Work All
Night
BURNING HEAVY TIMBER
Flames Covered More Territory Yes
terday Than at Any Time Since
Fires First Broke Out.

The forest fire situation in this
vicinity presents a more encouraging
aspect Yesterday the fire on Green
Mountain in Glastonbury made its
way into the heavy timber and came
down the mountain across the Shafts
bury line In the evening the fire
was burning more fercely than at any
time since It was first discovered and
a force Of over a hundred men worked
all night in an effort to check the pro-
gress Of the flames.
This morning a telephone message
from SALISBURY stated that the fire
was nearly out II was smOuldering
in old stump heaps to some extent but
was not making any progress over
new territory
Last night help came from all d.
rections as the situation was such
that only energetic measures could
make much Roadway in checking the
spread OF the fires Up to Yesterday
while The fires had covered consider.
able territory. not much valuable tim.
Der had been destroyed The Young
growth was OF course completely
killed wherever the fire made its
way Yesterday, however the fire
made It's way among the larger trees
and was consequently more difficult
TO control
The fire in the Red Mill district
was reported TO be still burning this
morning but is was impossible to OBJ.
tain any details. The fact that no in.
formation has come to the owners OF
timber land living in Bennington
leads TO the conclusion that there is
no present danger.
