Fights With
Fire in the old
range days

In a recent conversation with W.
Z. Haggerty concerning prairie fires
and the ruin wrought to the fine
rauge grasses, that gentleman grew
a little reminiscent and recited in
stances of great range fires up on
the Blackfeet a few years ago, when
he was engaged in range riding,
There were many destructive prairie
fires on the Blackfeet a few years a.
go and the winter range of thou
sands of head of cattle and horses
was often in jeopardy. The man
ner of combating those fires, while
familiar to all plainsmen of an older
day, may be interesting to the new
conner" population. When the far
horizon grew livid and the black
smoke assembled over the peaks of
yonder hills the range riders took
quick action toward curtailing its
onroads. A large steer was singled
out and slaughtered, the carcass was
cut in two, a stout rope was hitched
to the horns and secured to the horn
of the saddle of some ieet-footed
pony and the rider rushed into the
teeth of the flames, not going liter
ally into the fire, but running al top
speed crossways to it's course. The
effect was that the grass was fatten-
ed into the earth and IN nearly ev-
cry case it proved an effective fire
break. Mr.. Haggerty says that many
times during his career on the great
Blackfeet range he has seen prairie
fires that promised destruction to
vast areas subdued by this method.
Continuing the discussion of range
grasses, the above named gentleman
gave the writer furthes illumination
on the great difference in the quail.
ity of grassas to he found at differ
ent parts of this section. For in.
stance. the grasses close to the noun
tains grow rich and tall but are not
so nutritive as the bunchy, short
grasses farther away from the big
hills and stock, especially horses,
have an aversion to the first named.
The range grass about ten miles a.
way from the hump" is the choice
est and in the autumn the beef stock
is topped off" on this range. Horses
Mr.. Haggerty declares, have a great
intuition for finding choice range
grasses and will go a long way to
the places where good range is to
be found. Cattle have the intuition
in a lesser degree but will find the
desirable grasses in good time if left
to wander without molestation.

Late Land Rulings of vital concrn,
test cases decided by the
General Land Office

and occupancy Hereunder inter-
rupted in obedience to an order of
court is not thereby terminated or
abandoned.
The preferential right of entry
conferred upon homestead settlers
by section 8 of the act act of May
14th, 1880 is, like the right created
in favor of successful contestants by
section 2 of said act, a privilege
which cannot be transferred to an-
other.
Sec. 2 of the act of May 14th.
1880, contemplates that the notice
of preference right to a successful
contestants shall issue al a time when
the land is subject to entry, since
the time begins to run against the
contestant from date of such notice.
Preference right notice cannot be
given by publication, nor will the
giving of notice that the land will
become subject TO entry at some flu
ture day be regarded by the depart
ment as the proper performance by
the register of his duty in the prem.
ises, especially where the contes-
tant has made payment of a fee Of
one dollar for special notice.
The fact that a resurvey of a
township has been determined upon
and authorized does not make them
unsurveyed land and the prior sur
vey is an existing survey and will
so continue until replaced through
the execution and approval of the
'resurvey.

One Of the objects OF the home
stead laws is to grant a home to ev-
cry head of a family from public
lands. In determining this ques-
ton, the land department is not ex-
pressly charged with duty to make
judicial inquiry into facts antece-
dent to breach of family bond
whether one party or the other was
at fault. That jurisdiction proper
" belongs to the courts having au-
thority to regulate family relations.
Thus, il an entryman die and two
claim succession as widow, the land
department will not try the facts
going to fix the right but will recog-
nize her who had the status of wife
during the entry and helped the en-
tryman to earn the land.
The right to file a declaratory
statement is a privilege only in the
matter O giving the applicant power
to hold HE claim for six months at
ter selection. Upon making entry
of the land, the law as to residence
must be complied with the same as
if no declaration ftatement had been
filed.
While the Department does moi
require any specific amount of cul
tivation when the entry is made un'
der the general homestead laws
there must be disclosed in all cases
such actual cultivation of the entry
as will show the good faith of the
entryman.

ELECTRIC STORM
SATURDAY, AFTERNOON
Burns Out Transformers in Several
places and Several Shocks and
Narrow Escapes.

The electric storm which visited the
city Saturday afternoon burned out
several transformers and charged the
entire Exchange Hotel block with
electricity to such an extent as to
cause one death and several severe
shocks, besides considerable loss to
the city.
The transformer in the rear OF the
Myers Hardware Company was burn
ed out at a loss of over 5000, while
two transformers in the rear of Wick
& Dawson's store were burned out at
loss of between $50 and $40; three
transformers within block of Henry
Robinson5s place were burned at a
loss of about $35 each, and the trans
former near DR.. Howell's was also
burned at loss of $35, and others
the location of which the reporter
could not get. The burning out OF
these transformers permits the cleo
trio current to escape into the ground
and is costing the city at the rate OF
6 cents per kilowatt, which will soon
amount to quite sum at the rate
electricity escapes under such condi-
tions.
AS a result OF the conditions in the
Exchange Hotel block several per-
sons had narrow escapes. Fl. s. Jen-
kins went into his place next to the
Exchange Hotel Sunday morning to
clean up, and in attempting to turn
on the electric fan received a severe
shock. He had reached up to the but
ton which turns on the juice. and for
tunately only his index finger touched
the button when he was knocked
across the room L. w. Cox went 70
see about his lights and was knocked
off his feet, while Mr. Skains in the
Exchange Hotel received a severe
shock, and the negro porter at the
Smith drug store was knocked into
a tub of water from the electrical
connection.
1t is understood by reports on the
streets that a house near A. & NJ
College had the bricks knocked out
of chimney, scattering Goals of fire
