PRAIRIE FIRE IN NESS.

During dry storm on Wednesday,
lighting started a fire west of Ness
City which burned over q large ter
rllory included in which were the ex
tensive ranches belonging to Messrs
Spangler, Baker and Smith. There
was a moderately good growth OF
grass in this territory, all of which
was as dry as hot winds and sun
could make it, and with the aid Of
a stiff wind the blaze developed in.
to a regular old fashioned prairie
fire. Little could be done to check
the flames, which cleared a terri.
tory amounting In area to about q
township. No buildings were lost and
no feed, owing principally to the
tact that the barns and ranch i'm.
provements were securely guarded
against fire, and no feed is stacked
In the fields for the simple reason
that there isn't any. Fail rains, II
they come in time may make some
feed ON the burned territory, but al
the best the loss is serious one to
these ranchmen.

BIG FIRE LOSS.

On Thursday evening of last week
one Of the most destructive farm
Tires in the annals of Barton coun.
ty occurred at the McGreevey farm
southwest Of this city.
A big barn, a farm elevator with
a capacity of about 10000 bushels oi
grain, and a number of smaller out
buildings were destroyed, and only
by prompt assistance was the house
saved. The stock was all rescued
with the exception Of one calf thai
was tied in the barn. Two wagons
We're saved and two and a half sets
Of harness. Owing to the fact thai
most of the machinery was out In
the various fields of the farm, the
loss on machinery was slight, the
most serious being about $50 dam
age to a new header.
About 900 bushels of wheat, one
Fthlrd Of which was the property o.
Mr.. McGreevey, was destroyed, be
sides a quantity of corn and other
feed in the barn and nearly twenty
tons of hay.
The loss of the tenant, Mr.. d. c.
Renfro, will amount to slightly ovel
$1,000, which is fully covered by in
suranee.
The farm buildings were insured
but as to the amount of the insur
ance or the estimated loss on the
same we are unable to state.
The fire started about O'Clock in
the evening, and is supposed to have
been caused by lightning, as a heavy
cloud with considerable lightning
hung over the immediate vicinity al
that time but no one about the place
noticed any vivid flashes. Flames
bursting from the barn were the first
symptom of trouble to be noticed
Neighbors we're Of great assistance
in saving the house.

HE MUST vAcATE.

Suit was brought before Judge Tor.
rey on Saturday by Fritz WiAenberg
to force Scott Hayes, a tenant OF
Willenberg's to relinQuish his claim
to the premises he had occupied a
year and which Hayes was endeav.
oring to hold on a verbal contract
for renewal Of the lease. The plain.
tiff was represented by Sam Jones,
Of Lyons, and Clyde AIlphin Of this
city, and the defendant by Attorneys
Osmond and R. Coe Russell.
The case was somewhat complicat
ed on account Of the existence Of
two written contracts, one applying
to the lease Of the tillable land and
the other to the pasture and the i'm
provements. the contracts being made
at different times and expiring on
different dates.
The testimony Of several witness
es was taken and a verdict was rem
dered for the plaintiff who paid the
costs before leaving town. The par

HAD A RUNAWAY.

The Barton County Mills team
created considerable excitement in
the Santa Fe yards on Monday morn
ing. The driver was loading wheat
from car when the team suddenly
became frightened and proceeded tC
give a practical demonstration of the
art Of running away.
As soon as they had gotten under
good headway they collided with the
dray team belonging to the ice com
pany and ran squarely over them
breaking the tongues out of both
wagons and injuring one of the ice
plant horses considerably. After run
ming a little farther, the mill team
became so badly entangled with the
wagon and harness that they were
easily caught. Neither wagon was
damaged beyond the breaking of the
tongues Of both vehicles, and the af
fair ended with comparatively small
damage.

SOUNDS LIKE REAL WORK.

Mr.. and Mrs. L. j. DeGarmo and
family were up from yarmouth Sat
unday evening for a short visit with
their many friends and to look after
business matters. Lynn has been in
charge Of the Wolf elevator at Dart
mouth for a number Of years and he
says he has been buster the past few
weeks than any time since he has
been on the job. That statement
may sound a little strange when IL
is considered that hardly haf Of the
elevators in the county are taking
in grain enough to pay them to keep
open, but it must be remembered
that in the immediate vicinity oi
Dartmouth, and especially on the
south side, the crop this year was
as good IL not better than usual.
During the past six weeks and vi
until Saturday night, Lynn has tax
en- in a trifle over 800 wagon loads
Of wheat, and has loaded and shippet
out 80 cars. During 21 days Of July
he loaded and shipped out % carr
Of wheat, which was more than h
handled during the entire months q

Some little disturbance has been
ceated by rowdyish conduct on the
part Of a few and in one or two in
stances the parties who have indulg-

quested to refrain from visiting the
grounds as the management did not
need their money. A strenuous ef-
tort is being made to compel the OBJ

this, speaking in a general way, they
have been successful although there
is still a chance for improvement.
