MILES OF WOODLAND BURNED.

DANDY, June 26. "A forest fire which
has already burned over about ten
square miles of forest lands in the wilds
of Mount Tabor, east of Dandy, and
which several hundred men were fight
ing today with little effect, threatened
to devastate thousands of acres of tim
Der in the southern part of Rutland
and northern part of Bennington coun-
ties. Already the damage is estimated
at several thousand dollars. The flames
have been confined so far to second
growth hard and soft wood suitable for
pulp wood, but unless the fire fighters
get the upper hand of them within a
short time they may reach buildings in
Weston and Peru.
The State forestry department was
appealed to last night for aid. and A. B.
Chandler of Burlington, assistant chief
forester, arrived this morning.
1t is believed that the trouble was
caused by lightning Wednesday night,
the incipient fire smouldering in dead
wood until it was famed into flames by
Thursdays high wind. Owing to the
absence of rain for many days the
woods are in very dry condition, and
the character of the forest where the
fire started is such that the flames
spread rapidly. The ground has been
"cut over" and many treetops and
brush which were left by the axemen
furnish abundant food for the flames.

Auto Hits Wagon. Drives on.

Madeline and Cyril Webster, young
daughter and son of Clayton H. Web
ster of Main street, Rutland, VT, had a
narrow escape from injury about nine
O'Clock Sunday evening when the car
riage in which they were riding was
struck by an automobile at the junction
of Wales street and Strongs avenue.
The owner of the car is not known, two
different registry numbers having been
reported to the police.
The left forward wheel and the
thills were torn from the wagon and
although the children We're not thrown
out they were in badly frightened
condition when found by a passerby.
The driver of the car did not stop to
ascertain what damage had been done
but drove rapidly on.
The children were turning the corner
at the intel section of the two streets
when the accident occurred and claim
to have been on the right hand side of
the road. The machine was going at a
fair rate of speed and apparently the
driver did not apply the brakes, al
though the lamps on his car were
lighted and he must have seen the
carriage.

lines of rough semi circle three miles
in length and varying in width from a
half mile to mile and half.
Although many were injured only
three are positively known to have
been lost. The charrej body of a
woman, thought to be Mrs. Cunning
ham, was found in the ruins of laundry
and tenement building of Lafayette
street.
At least 10000 persons, fourth of
the city's population, were made home
less. Many hundreds are sheltered in
schools, churches and public buildings
in this city and Beverly and in dwell
ings which escaped the flames.
Before the fire had been fairly
started relief measures and plans for
rebuilding were under way. Governor
Walsh announced that 5000 tents and
10000 rations would be shipped to the
city TODAY. He also said that he would
call public meeting at the State house
in Boston today to take further action
in aid of the residents deprived of their
homes.
In the midst of the gloom caused by
the staggering blow to the city, resi-
dents found cause for thankfulness in
the fact that, although many rare old
colonial mansions which have contribut-
ed to the fame of the witch City"
were destroyed, the more noted build
ngs and the museums, with their
priceless collections of antiques were
spared. The birthplace of Nathaniel
Hawthorne and the House of Seven
Gables" and the Old Custom house
immortalized in his novel were
threatened, and the flames approached
close to the Peabody museum and the
Essex institute, but none of them were
damaged.

Lynn, June %. Donald l.. Prime of A
Huron street, Swampscott, was i'm
prisoned in the forepart of big touring
car this afternoon when it went fifteen
feet down an embankn ent and over
turned. Although the space beneath
the flooring of the overturned car and
the ground was so small that he had
hardly room to move, he was not in
jured, and he managed to release him
self by opening one of the foredoors of
the machine.
Prime has for some years had the
reputation of being lucky and his es-
cape today has added to it. Only a
short time ago he fell two stories and
was uninjured, and other accidents
have resulted equally fortunately for
him.
He was driving the car to Rowley
with bunch of roses for his mother,
and was climbing steep hill when the
accident occurred. The road had been
recently oiled, and the rain made il
slippery. The car skidded and went
down 15-foot bank, capsizing at the
bottom. Prime turned off the power
before crawling out.
Traffic along the road was held UP
nearly an hour while the car was
dragged back on the road.
