Fire on Butte.

A fire swept up the butte Monday
night and presented brilliant scene
to the country roundabout. A steady
breeze drove the flames in long lines
over the steep hillsides and when a
patch of cheat grass was reached
the flames shot forward with almost
lightning rapidity. The wild animals
and jackrabbits which inhabit that
section were terror stricken and fled
before the flames in droves. Grass
hoppers- of swarmed
down the declivities and poured into
the Canyon canal. Several home
steaders were forced to call for aid
in protecting their buildings, and An
drew Little had crew of men out to
protect his sheep corrals and build
ings A Fordson tractor was put into
service and two long burrows were
quickly plowed and back-fire start
ed. The scene and operation remind
ed Nebraskans and Kansans of early
days on the prairies of those states.
Another fire was seen on the hills
near Freezeout. No damage is re-
ported at either place.

to the occasion and turn the old town
into a carnival of fun and rejoicing.

the breeze and given the place of
honor on public and private buildings.

NETT had so much to be thankful for
and to rejoice over as the glorious
Fourth in this year of 1922. The

filled with flames and Anthony top
pied from the platform, the flesh on
his foot and hand fairly sizzling. The
flames communicated with the over
head wiring in the plant and also to
the roof. The wiring was completely
destroyed and about half the roof was
burned.

eer clothes. Dress shirts, white col

resembled present day fashions was
subject to fine. John Gamage and
George Patterson, who were return
ing by Ford from Portland, made a
short stop in Baker to say hello to

ionably dressed. They were prompt
ly nabbed, taken before a kangaroo
