"A call for volunteers to fight

terrific speed. Only one loss of
life is reported, that of a small
boy in the northeastern part of

Destructive Fires

Train No. l was responsible
for prairie fire in ]. M. Woods
pasture last Sunday afternoon.
About four hundred acres of
grass were burned, and only the
prompt work of ''sack brigade"
prevented the house and the
barn from being destroyed.
Monday, smouldering chips,
famed into blaze by a high
wind, resulted in another hun
dred acres being burned.
Tuesdays No. Isl was res
ponsible for another and a more
serious fire. A spark carried to
the pasture on the south side OF
the track soon developed into a
blaze which was beyond the con-
troll of the section crew, and a
high north. west wind took it in
the direction of Harry Bellamy's s
home, four miles west of Meade.
A telephone call to this city
brought additional fire fighters,
but not until the barn was re-
duced to ashes. BY hard work
the house was saved and the big
pairie fire swept on; the next
home in its path being that of E.
D. Smith. three miles west of
Meade. Again by a close margin
the house was saved, though for
time it looked doubtful. So
near did the fire come that straw
on the flowerbeds along the north
side of the house, was burned,
on the west side space of but a
few feet, interviewed. Several
tons of feed we're burned, hut
the barn, stock and stock sheds
were saved, The fire burned on
south into Ballard's pasture be-
fore it was controlled. Several
hundred acres of pasture and. a
large mum Der of fence posts were
burned.
