From the Bismarck Gazette: "a
fire on the farm Of George Buford, il
the Hickory Grove neighborhood, or
Monday afternoon destroyed about
400 rails, and it was only by heroic
work on the part of Mr.. Buford ant
his neighbors that his barn and straw
stack were saved. The fire originated
through the carelessness of som,
hunters. This time of the year whel
leaves are abundantly on the groun'
and especially now owing to the dry
ness, extra care should be takel
against throwing lighted matches
cigar and cigarette stumps on tn
ground"
