PRAIRIE FIRE ON RESERVATION
Settlers in Gregory County Have
Narrow Escape from Flames
ROusey's Experience.

SIOUX FALLS. s. D., April 4.-(Special)
Full details which now have been re-
ceived of a recent prairie fire in the ceded
portion of the Rosebud Indian reservation.
in Gregory county, show It to have been
one of the worst in the history of that part
Of the state Just how II started is
mystery, but Il is known that It started
at a point between the Missouri river and
the north fork of milestone creek early
in the morning and burned slowly until
afternoon, when a terrific northwest wind
arose and drove the blaze with such speed
and fury as to make it invincible so far
as human efforts were concerned
The course of the fire was to the south
east, the pathway about twelve miles long
and several miles in width.
Great quantities OF hay were burned, in
addition to a number OF barns, sheds
orchards, horses and other property. Only
by superhuman efforts were the dwelling
houses of a dozen or more settlers saved
One OF the interesting incidents was the
thrilling experience of w. e. Rousey a
collector for the John Deere PlOw company,
who chaRced to be in the vicinity. In
structing his driver. NJ. NJ. Hendrix. pro-
prietor of a Bonesteel livery establishment,
to drive as near the pathway of the fire
as possible Mr.. Rousey prepared to crafty
his desire to see a prairie fire at close
range lie had a more interesting time
than he bargained for. Before they were
scarcely aware of their danger the flames
swept toward them and only the fleetness
of the horses driven by Hendrix saved
their lives. At one time they were within
thirty feet of a mighty sea of flames which
leaped to a height of fifty feet.

MONEY AND SECTARIANISM
Methodist Conference I'm Brooklyn
Discusses Acceptance of Funds
from Carnegie.

NEW YORK, April A question whether
or not the acceptance Of a gift of money
from the Carnegie university fund does
not destroy the allegiance of a university
to the Methodist church was discussed in
the New York east conference of that
church, held in Brooklyn today. The sub
ject came up when Bradford p. Raymond,
president of Wesleyan university, reported
that the university had accepted $4,000
from the Carnegie fund. The gift was made
upon the condition that the university
should be nonsectarian. Rev. w. w Mar
I'M said a university could not be nom
sectarian and attached to the Methodist
church. He asserted that Dickinson col
lege had accepted similar gifts and had
severed it's allegiance to the church. Rev.
George A. Reed, president OF Dickinson
college, denied this statement. but the dis
cussion was stopped.
