HUNDREDS FIGHT FIRE.
Men and Women Turn Out in Dakota
to Save Towns.


Dallas, S. D., Oct. ga terrific
rrairie fire extending for a distance of
three miles from east to west is raging
n Tripp county, in the southwestern
part of the state, today. Already
much loss to farm buildings and crops
has taken place and hundreds of men
ar d women are out fighting the flames
The towns of Lamro and McNeely,
threatened for time, have been saved
6nly after strenuous efforts on the part
of the fire fighters.
Two persons are known to have been
badly burned. They are Mr.. and Mrs
McGrievies. who have been taken to
I amro for medical treatment.
The fire started in the southern part
of the county and was swept along
with great fury by a high south wind.
The entire population of that place and
the surrounding country went out to
combat the flames and for hours work
ed desperately.
At one time Lamro was completely
surrounded by flames that reached to
within a block of the town. But the
strenuous efforts of the fighters finally
had their effect and at the last reports
the place was believed to have been
saved.
The town of McNeely suffered SINH
lar experiences and the flames were
diverted from that town only after the
heroic efforts of the people.
Out on the open prairies away from
al. help many claim holders homes
were entirely destroyed.
No deaths have been reported. and
aside from the McGrievies, who were
