Big Prairie Fire
Near Lennon
Fire Destroys Large Number Of Farm
Building And Causes Heavy Loss
10 HOmeSteaderS

Lennon, April Il: About ,
O'Clock this afternoon a prairie fire
started between White Butte and
Petrol, south of the Milwaukee
tracks aud west of here, aud burned
over an era estimated to contain at
least 81, 600 acres and swept to de-
struction every thing in its path be-
tween the east and west branches
of the Flat creek and southeast as
far as the Grand liver, where it
headed for Lennon
The fire burned up to within Il
mile of Lennon, when the wind
changed and this only saved the
town. The strip burned was fully
two miles wide and all of the home
steaders shacks in it and few
larger buildings were destroyed.
Only prompt action on the part
of over loo citizens of Lennon
saved the town from possible de-
strnctiOn after the wind had shifted.
They fought back the flames for
some time and aided in saving con-
siderable property.
Had not the wind dropped the
fire would undoubtedly have
jumped the Grand river and placed
Ramsland in danger.
All of the hay on the burned
strip is gone and it is thought that
the spring crops have been dam
aged to some extent.
Already plans are under way to
put up shelters for those of the
homesteaders who lost their shacks
aud some rude shacks were con-
structed this evening to house the
homeless.
