20 ACRES OF WHEAT BURNED
Spark From Engine Believed to b
Responsible For Fire

More than 20 acres of standing
wheat were destroyed by fire FRI
day afternoon east Of town. The
FIRST fire was on the seven-acre plot
farmed by Tom Neeley, which
caught hre just after the east bound
Union Pacific passenger train went
through at noon. Section hands and
water service men on the Union Pa
cifc went out and fought the blaze
with shovels and anything available
until 1t was extinguished. While
the section foreman was reporting
the first fire at the Union Pacific sta
ton here a second blaze was discov-
cred in the wake Of the afternoon
freight. He rushed out with his
crew to fight that fire which extend
ed owe rthe II acre tract belonging
to @. M. Sidesinger, one acre be-
longing to ]. d. Shepard and three
acres belonging to Jas. Garvie. The
city fire department was called out
but as the fire was outside the city
limits it could do nothing. People
who went out to see the blaze
pitched in and helped extinguish It.
Sparks from the engines of the trains
are thought to have been responsible
for the fire. The estimated damage
Is $616. r

ANOTHER CAREFUL FOURTH.
Fire Marshal Leaves Last Years
Orders In Effect.

III kShbSSvs
With the Fourth of July less
than three weeks off, the younger
set throughout Kansas probably is
wondering If the state fire mar
shars department is going to
loosen up and tilt the lid that has
kept the boys and girls from having
all the crackers they want.
State Fire Marshal L. 7. Hussey
has little to say about lifting the
ban which has been ON the larger
crackers and fire works for the
past four years. When asked If the
regulations would be made more
moderate, he declared that the Or
ders which have been in effect will
again rule the activities on indie
pendence Day.
This means, first Of all, that the
using or Keeping Of any fireworks
or other explosives intended for
celebration purposes within 1000
feet Of any building used for bust
ness or residence, or any barn or
storehouse, any stack of grain or
feed, is forbidden. This Is the sub
stance Of the fire marshaps order
which governed last year and which
viii again be in effect this year.
But there is still some hope for
the boys and girls who. are out for
a big Fourth Of July. Fire Marshal
Hussey said that only the larger
and highly explosive fire crackers
will actually be banned. The small
ones, known in boy language as rae.
ers. sparklers, pin wheels, chasers
and other funmakers. considered
harmless. will still be within the
state regulations. Cannon crackers
ers, the larger sky rockets and tor.
pedoes, are among the forms that
will be excluded.
