A FIRE IN THE WOODS. Early last Sunday
afternoon fire was started near heavy stand
of pine on land belonging to the Pattershall
heirs about mile from the city on the Board
landing road. A man was seen coming from
there just before and is supposed to have
thrown down lighted match or cigar stub.
The ground was dry, high wind blowing. and
the fire spread rapidly. Drew Chaples sent in
an alarm from his home near the upper bridge,
and the fremen responded to the call with the
chemical engine. For four hours sixty men
fought the flames, the engine pumping water
150O feet up the side of the Pattershall noun
tain, and by hard work the fire was got under
control before it had reached the valuable pine
growth.
