unusually entertaining talk on his line
of business.

an ancient and honorable ancestry;
that it sprang from the Catholic priest
hood, and that for a time the only
lawyers in existence were priests.
With few exceptions all the presidents
Of the United States have been elected
from the legal profession.
He stated the majority Of law was
not by enactment of legislatures, but
by the decision OF judges. who make
that the lawyers duty is to keep cases
out of court, rather than to force them
in. He declared that the splendid
orators. of which one of the greatest
was Webster, had been relegated to
the background under present condi-
tions: that the concise, logical way of
handling the situation in a legal mat
ter is no longer employed. He added
that the legal profession is now occu-
pying a separate and distinct field
from other lines, and discouraged the
idea Of lawyers engaging in sharp
practices

FIERCE FOREST FIRE
RACES ON LITTLE BLUE

I On Friday, June Is. al 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon Starr Nelson, who was
working in the southeast corner Of his
pasture on the Little Blue near Sapin-
ero. discovered smoke curling in from
the northwest corner OF his pasturs.
He and hrs man hastened there and
found that fire had been started in
three dead spruce trees, located in q
triangle, each about $50 yards distant
from the other The two succeeded
in extinguishing two Of these, but the
third had made 50 much headway that
IL could not be checked, and even now
fire is still smouldering within burned
areas. as a result thereof.
The result was that a fierce forest
fire swept the country for a distance
OF three or four miles, in a track
about a mile wide. Vast quantities Of
valuable timber were destroyed. sew
eral head Of cattle were overcome and
perished, while the property loss in the
way Of feed and fences was very
heavy. Mr.. Nelson lost 700 feet Of
pasture fence and considerable valua-
BILE timber.
There are several herds Of both
sheep and cattle in this vicinity. In
fact. Mr.. Nelson himself is feeding
400 head Of sheep, none of which
were destroyed. One hundred and ten
head Of VIM. Fitzpatrick's sheep were
'marooned within a small space and
would have perished had they not
been taken care OF by Mr.. Nelson and
other rescuers.
The Nelson ranch contains $50 acres
and is situated about fourteen miles
south Of Sapinero. Mr.. Nelson says
he feels very confident, from the cir
cumstances surrounding the case. that
the fire was the work of incendiaries.
