DISASTROUS PRAIRIE FIRE

A disastrous prairie fire in the
vicinity of Eagle Butte, supposed
to have been started by an east
bound train, Monday, destroyed
80 tons Of hay on Chas. Holloway s
place, burned over the homesteads
of Linstad and Lamson and over
part of Mrs. Bertha Barber's land.
From there it burned southeast
over the government pasture, fin
ally dying ont near Fishgut creek.
This is the first fire Of serious pro.
portions this fall, aud while no
buildings were destroyed, the Lin.
stad home was saved only after
many hours Of hard work on the
part of the fire fighters. The loss
of the hay and to the pastures will
be serious to the owners, who had
considerable stock dependent upon
such pasturage to winter.

EVELYN NESB|T TAAW'T AID
URGES HUSBAND TO RETURN
AND PROVE SANITY.
Says She ls Ready to Go Back to New
York and Take Care Of
Him.

New York, Dec. 23.-"Harry can gel
out of Matteawan If he will accept and
follow my advice" said Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw. She had just learned
that the United States Supreme Court
had ordered him returned to New York
state, where he will be put back in the
insane asylum or tried for conspiracy
in escaping from the institution.
Her statement came as a surprise
because for several years she has
fought to keep him in the asylum, ex.
pressing the fear that he would try to
kill her and her baby son.
The young woman, central figure in
the events leading up to the murder OF
Stanford White, added that If Harry
would send for her she would tell him
how to get out of Matteawan. She
said she would give him this advice:
Go back to Matteawan for a while
and take your medicine. Stop trying
to run Matteawan by fomenting dis.
cord and seeking to have superintend.
ents and physicians removed.
IF Harry would regulate his con.
duct along these lines he would soon
impress the Matteaw anauthorities with
the belief that he was sane and he
would be freed" added Evelyn.

The Lever bill, which had the ap.

This BILL" said Representative
Lever, will result in the establish

1t will give certainty and value to

government to maintain its neutral.
The attitude of Rumania also was
more than ever a matter of doubt on
account Of reports from Paris that the
only obstacle which prevented her
from Joining the triple entente had
been removed. Bulgaria was repre-
scented as having given assurances that
she would remain neutral, relieving
Rumania from the fear of an attack
from that quarter should she enter the

U. 8. and Britain sun Negotiating.

London, Dec. 23.-It can be stated
positively that no definite agreement
has been reached whereby Britain will
refrain from searching ships which
leave American ports with statements
from British consuls that they are car.
rying no contraband. Britain is willing
to accept such statements in cases
where there is no reason to believe
that the cargoes may have been aug.
mented at sea. The long negotiations
between Great Britain and America.
however, have resulted In no posi-.
tive agreement or understanding.
