vicinity of Rolling Dam brook yester-
day stated to Journal reporter that

they were compelled to break through
their enclosures and get out into the
fields in order to satisfy their hunger.

City EnshrOuded
In Dense Smoke.

For the second day the entire city
has been enshrouded il Il heavy SMOKE
which is the result of forest fires rag
ing in many different places The wind
for the past few days has been favor
able to conveying the smoke to this
city and makes it anything but a
pleasure to the citizens The density
of the smoke lead a great many people
to believe that the fires We're in close
proximity but those which have been
burning on the outskirts have been
very small and not enough to create
the amount of smoke. AS far as it can
be learned the smoke is the result of
the Jackman fires which have been
raging for many days. The sun yester-
dav was dark red from this effect.
Yesterday morning the fire which
started in some underbrush on the low
err part of the Ridge road above Fair
field. had been Centralized but was still
smoulderng. The residents in that Sec
ton were given scare at the out
break and had the wind been in diff
ferent direction several of the farm
buildings would have been destroyed
The people turned out in force and
beat the blaze ir many places and con-
fined the fire to one place. They were
successful and by night the fire had
burned itself out.
The other blaze of small consequence
was near the Ten lots dit Oakland
Here the fire started in the grass at
the edge Of the road but as the under
brush and woods covered al very small
territory, it quickly burned itself out
There was report in this city iyester-
day afternoon that a Are was burning
beyond Fairfield Center and had de-
stroyed two dwelling houses and sta
bles which was in its path, but, the res
.~"~+ wasonnt true and ii iss probable
that some one wanted to create excite
meat in that, section. Many went up
from this city only to learn that the
real nres~were miles away
