this city, with about forty clergymen in

able paper on the Creation" briefly out

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., April 24.-(Special.)
Damage suits galore promise to result
from the recent disastrous prairie fires in
pSrtions OF western and central South
Dakota. A number of the fires started
froin straw stacks, which had been burned
several days before. but which were left
smouldering and which were famed into
flames by high winds which prevailed on
the days the prairie fires were the worst.
Under the state law those who thus were
responsible for some OF the fires are sub
ject to being compelled TO pay for the
damage done.
Under this law a Davidson county farmer
a year or two ago was compelled to pay
damages In the sum OF several thousand
dollars as the, results Of prairie fire
which was caused by his carlessness. Som,

Break in Holder Allows slow Escape
and Explosion il Avoided.


BEATRICE Neb, April 24.-(Special
Telegram 1.-THE large holder OF the City
Light and Power company was destroyed
by fire yesterday afternoon, entailing loss
Of 5000, with no insurance. A strong wind
was blowing when the fire started, but the
gas leaked out and was slowly consumed
thus preventing an explosion. The flames
spread to the Rock Island stock yards
and a string of cars on the sidetrack loaded
with grain, was saved by hard work on
the part of the firemen. The fire was ex-
tinguished without much damage except to
the gas plant, which is owned by eastern
capitalists.
The fire has put the plant out of busl-
ness and II. " Riesen, the receiver, has
arranged for the Beatrice Gas and Power
company to supply his customers with gas.
1t is likely the old plant will not be re-
built.
