SOUTH DAKOTA PIONEER
FOUND DEAD IN HOME

Milbank. S. d.. Dec. 11.-To die alone
was the fate of Matt ~Abrahamson, a
pioneer farmer of Grant county. He
was a widower and lived alone and
when taken i'll had no one to care for
him. 1t vas impossible for him to
communicate to his neighbors his con-
dition. He was So years old.
A cattle buyer called at his home.
and, as there was no response to his.
knock, he tried the door and found it
unlocked. When he entered he found
~Abrahamson lying on the bed, evidently
asleep. When he went to arouse him
he found him dead. How long he a
been dead is unknown, but his body:
was cold when found. Death is sup
posed to have resulted from an attack
OF heart failure. He is survived by n
son and two daughters, all of whom are
residents of Grant county.

Later Xerxes %plundered and demol-
ished the temples. Thereafter the city
was neglected and unpopulated, and in
time became a vast ergro ruin.
Jerome. in the year 400 A. d.. writes Of
1t as having been made a hunting park
for h Persian kings. The ruins OF
babylon were used as building material
in the construction of at least six other
cities that have sprung up since its
decay. So thorough has been the de-
.struction OF n once great city that not
only are the traces of it's principal
buildings lost, but also the very site
itself is In dispute. The reference in
l Peter v, 13 to Babylon is explained
by the fact that Babylon was the cen
ter from which the Asiatic Dispersion
addressed by Peter) was derived.
Josephus. the Jewish historian, states
In his Antiquities" that Babylon con-
tanned some 5000 Jews in the apostolic
age, the Parthians then being master Of

FOREST FIRE LOSSES
ARE LOWEST IN YEARS
In South Dakota, But AL
Acres Being Burned, Is
Report.

Pierre. S. d., Dec. 9.-Fire prevention
methods. and the education of the pub
lie visiting the forest reserves through
constant warnings, has resulted in the
1ewest umb of fires this last year in
the South Dakota forest reserve than in
many years.
Very few fires were caused by amp
ers. and the majority were caused from
electrical storms. the lightning strik-
ing dead trees, which were dry and in
flammable. During the period from
january to November 80, 1916, there
were IS fires within the Black Hills
forest, which burned over a total area
OF approximately 4S1 acres, making an
average for each fire of six acres. Very
little mature timber was destroyed, the
damage being confined largely to the
seeding stands and to forage grasses.
The result of the United States forest
service is very gratifying. especially as
there were several times during the
past year when the danger of serious
fires was great.
me forest service maintains lookout
stations on Custer peak and Cement
ridge during the fire season, and 1T is
the duty of the men on these stations
to be constantly on the lookout for fires
Within the area of their vision. When
a fire is discovered, the ookouts reportl
the location by telephone to the superb
visor at Deadwood, who at nee mott,
hes the ranger by telephone of the fires
and to take necessary measures to ext
tinguish it. In this way, the fires are
generally reached while still small and
a be handled easily.
