 Warns Against Woodland Fires.
 An appeal has been issued by Fire Chief John H. Hayes for the use of extreme care by all people walking through the woods. Despite the words of caution several bad fires have gotten under way and have taxed the efforts of Warden Thomas Ryan and his men to the limit. A tract of 150 acres was burned over on Sunday in the Fall mountain dis- trict ana on Wednesday night, the warden was called from his home at II o'clock by a fire off Birch street, which threatened to sweep through the woods adjoining Pink Lake and destroy valuable property. The warning has been reissued by the fire authorities because of the menace which exists through the dryness of the timber sections.
