HAGERSTOWN. Md. November %.
When all human devices had failed
in checking the great mountain fires
which have been raging on either side
of Hagerstown for two days, nature
stepped in this morning in the form
of a snowstorm and extinguished the
blaze.
Between 400 and 500 volunteer fire
fighters had found themselves unable
to cope with the fires because of the
high winds. and they had burned over
between 1000 and $500 acres when
the snowstorm broke over the county
early today. An inch of snow fell dur
ing the storm and extinguished the
fires, which have defied the fighters
for two days.

WINCHESTER, Va, November 25.-
Seven hundred men were waging a des-
perate battle today to bring under con-
troll the forest fires which have been rag
ing for almost a week on Great North
mountain, near here, and which al
ready have destroyed timber valued by
its owners at between $4,000 and $780,
900. The fires. thought to be under
control early yesterday. were lashed by
a heavy wind and have laid waste. re-
ports received here today stated, $4,000
acres. Usually effective means of check
ing such fires have proved fruitless on
account of the heavy wind and the eX-
treme dryness Of the forests.
Many farm buildings and miles Of
fences have been destroyed by the flames,
which at one time last night were within
300 Yards of the Rock Enon Springs
Hotel, a summer resort. Timely shift
ing of the wind. however, prevented de-
truction Of the hotel and nearby cottages.

tho belief that McKelvey had been SELL
ing tho beer with the consciousness OF
the alcoholic content. Judging from the
fact that McKelvey was selling beer
for 25 cente. while he was selling COM
merclal beer for IS cents. In addition
TO that, Mr.. Hughes said. he had odd =
ed yeast to the mixture, inferring
that this would make the beer OF
