MYSTERIOUS FIRES
PERKINS COUNTY KEPT BUSY
SUBDUING FLAMES.

Pierre. Sept. 29.-The people of
southern Perkins county are yet at
tempting to locate the cause of mys-
tsrious fires which have kept them on
the guard for more than a month. in
which time they have been called up
to subdue over a dozen fire, some of
them on the prairie and others in
buildings.
The fires break out in unoccupied
buildings, where no fire had been
used for several days. or on spots on
the prairie remote from where any
person is working.
The state fire marshal has been
over the ground. and a close watch Is
being kept by the people of that sec
ton, but the fires continue to occur
from unknown causes.

grain and this work was pushed Wig
orously.
Corn made fairly rapid progress to-
ward maturity and much the greater
part of the crop is o safe from
damage by frost. Some late fields,
and in a few localities a considerable
portion of the crop, require a few
more days of favorable weather to
become safe. Some corn is being
harvested. Silos are being filled.
Threshing was retarded by rain to
some extent. The crop of flax has
been mostly harvested. Potatoes are
producing a fair to good yield. Pas
lures have been greatly improved by
the rains. Stock is generally report
ed to be in good condition.
