BRUSH FIRE GETS
Il BEYOND CONTROL
Famed by q Stiff Gale It soon Lick

A brush fire on the ]. A. Robin
SON property just south OF town was
Lanned into a small sized forest fire

and made things quite interesting
while q large crew Of men tried to
get it under control again. Once it
got away it ran thru the dry slash
ings with great speed and before it
was gotten under control had des-
troyed almost 200 cords of cord wood
already cut and ready to market.
The wood belonged to J. A. Robin
son. W.T.. Cole and Collins. Mr.. Rob
inson was the heaviest looser.
When it was seen that the fire
was beyond control A. e. Boorman,
the state fire warden at Kalispell,
was notified and he arrived here
that evening and took charge Of the
work. A crew Of men were kept on
the job night and day until Tuesday
morning when a heavy rain came
Just In time to get everything in
good shape and put out every Wis
tage OF fire that was still burning.
While Mr.. Boorman was here he
averted what mighs have been an
other fire ON the north side Of the
tracks in the acreage tracts. A par
ry over there not realizing the dang
er that he was subject1ng his neigh
bors to had built huge brush fire
on his land which he was clearing.
When Mr.. Boorman informed him of
the danger Of such a fire at this
time of the year and showed him
what the penalty was he promptly
extinguished the fire and thanked
Mr.. Boorman for his counsel.
