BEADLE COUNTY AUTHOR
Writes Interesting Novel Founded on Philippine Experiences
The Argus Leader has published the first chapter of a novel by O. W. Coursey,
a Philippine soldier, which bids fair to attract unusual attention.
The author is well known in Huron and Beadle county, having lived in this
county for many years, residing at Virgil from 1883 to 1890 and having
graduated from the rural schools of this county and from the Beadle county
Normal Institute. After his graduation he taught several terms of
school here. The scene of the novel is laid in the Philippines where
the author served as one of the United States soldiers, enlisting with the
Huron company, being one of the five men who remained in camp when the Huron
company returned from Sioux Falls after the rejection of Captain Cooper.
Mr. Coursey's novel is entitled "Marie Sampalit" and will be published in
book form after it has been printed in the Argus-Leader. Onf the story
the Argus-Leader says:
"The story of Marie Sampalit, but O. W. Coursey, of Mitchell, S.D., is one
of the most interesting and at the same time reliable historical narratives
which have been put out in the last quarter of a century. It deals
with a real heroine, a living, breathing, loving woman, whose life tragedy
is closely connected with the history of an important era in our national
life. A Filipino woman with all the prejuidices and passions of her
race, yet with al moved by high ideals and lofty purposes, as far as her
limited light gave her to see.
"Throughout the narrative runs the history of the Spanish American war, or
at least that part of it which centered about the Philippine archipelago,
told in pleasing style and with that accuracy of principal events as well as
details that only come through the personal experience of the author with
the scopes and characters portrayed in the narrative."

An Interesting Article.
We publish the following article from a pamphlet treating of the condition
and resources of southern Dakota, written by John Brennan, of Sioux City,
Iowa, nine years ago. At that time to one uninitiated in the rapidity of
western progress, it seemed like the idle vaporings of a befogged lunatic.
Yet how true the prediction. Another year yet to elapse, but even now we
find the fair picture there drawn more than realized. “The half has not been
told.” We now have in “South Dakota,” more than 140,000 inhabitants and have
they not a right to knock at the doors of Congress? Here is the article;
read it.
The Future of Dakota.
Look at the great State of Illinois with her two and a half millions of
inhabitants; see the State of Iowa with half that number; look at Nebraska
with her population increasing biennially in arithmetical ratio; compare and
and the similarity of each and all of these states in their uniminproved
conditions to the territory of which we write, and then contemplate the
future of Dakota. Imagine a city of 25,000 inhabitants at Yankton; see in
imagination the towns of Vermillion, Elk Point, Canton, Sioux Falls and
Richland with 5,000 inhabitants in each. Look forward to the birth of new
counties, towns and villages 200 miles north from Yankton where the white
man never has trod. Imagine, if you can, a railroad running up the valley of
the Missouri, with ten connecting lines running eastward, and two lines of
railroad gliding through the Black Hills, the highest peaks of the Rock
Mountains and down the golden slopes of the Paride. Revel in the
gratification of seeing the millions of your surplus grain passing over the
iron tails to feed the hungry millions of Europe. Imagine the work-worn
pioneer sitting at his fireside and relating to his family his recollections
of the time when Dakota was a wild uncultivated Territory. Imagine half a
dozen of the little boys that travel over the prairies for miles to some
country school, now grown up in manhood, and, as the representatives of
100,000 Dakotaians, see them knocking at the doors of Congress, seeking and
finding admission for their Territory in the sisterhood of States. Then
contemplate the future of Dakota. Shall we live to see this realized? The
question may be modified to this: Shall we live ten years? All that we hope
for has been accomplished by the Nebraskaians in ten years, and in ten
years, will this be accomplished in Dakota. – Huron Enterprise.

INCENDIARISM.
Attempt to Burn the City.
Our Fire Department Again Distinguished
At least four attempts were made to start fires in
Huron on last Friday evening during and after the Democratic
demonstration. The incendiaries first started a fire in the
rear of the building formerly occupied by Eichenberger as a
confectionary and fruit store, among a lot of old lemon
boxes partially filled with tissue paper. It was
immediately discovered and extinguished by parties parading
in the Democratic broom brigade, although the fire company
responded with great promptness to the call and the hose was
partially laid before the fire was fully extinguished.
Within a very few moments another alarm was sounded and this
time the fire was discovered in an unoccupied building in
the rear of the Dakota House. The hose company was promptly
on hand and a stream of water extinguished the fire before
any great damage was done. The third fire partially
consumed a small barn near Hubbard Bros. lumber yard. It
occurred about midnight and being a considerable distance
from the Engine House got well under way before the fire
companies arrived, when it was promptly extinguished. The
last fire was in an old paint shop in the rear of Parker
Bro’s store. This fire was discovered by Sergeant Glenn, who
saw the incendiary get into a buggy with another person and
drive rapidly away. The fire was put out before gaining any
headway.
After the second fire had been discovered, the City
Council held a special session, and a number of extra
watchmen were placed on duty. In case that each fire had not
been discovered in its earliest incipiency the damage would
have been very great for all the fires were in close
proximity to valuable and highly inflammable property. It
is wonderful what an effect the introduction of the water
works and the thorough organization of our fire department
has upon our citizens. Instead of rushing wildly to the
scene of the conflagration, our people now saunter along
with the most perfect confidence that the fire will be
promptly extinguished. The department too is beginning to
show the effect of experience and training. They get to the
fire in an astonishingly brief space of time and go about
their work with much greater deliberation than at first.
The people too, are beginning to learn to keep out of the
way and that their services are not wanted. On Saturday
evening the Engine room was illuminated and lighted lanterns
were hung on the hook and ladder truck, presenting a scene
that was highly pleasing and suggestive of safety to
property owners. Huron now appreciates her fire protection
at something like its value and her Fire Department comes in
for a good big share of the credit.

Park Project Planned On U.S. 14
To Spotlight Huron’s Position As
World Pheasant Hunting Capital
If a group of enthusiastic Huronians carry an idea to a successful
conclusion, Huron will have a huge 30 or 40 foot high three-dimensional
pheasant imperiously surveying a 25 acre park and recreation area to serve
as a magnet for tourist trade.
A subcommittee on ways and means to construct and finance the large pheasant
was named E. C. McKenzie is chairman. Members include: Hal Andersen, Chan
Beach, Dick Pease, Jim Ruddy, Abe Berg, Millard Scott and William Welter.
Coordination of city plans with state plans for construction of new Highway
14 along Fourth St. N. and development of the Memorial Park-Ravine Pard area
was discussed at the meeting.
Erect Pheasant Monument
Chief purpose of the project is to capitalize on Huron’s pheasant hunting
fame be erecting a large pheasant “in the round,” along the order of Rapid
city’s dinosaurs or Bemidji, Minnesota’s Paul Bunyan figure. It would serve
as a publicity vehicle and a tourist magnet, Berg said.
Twenty-five persons attended the meeting, among them being Pat Dixon of the
state highway department’s publicity division, and Ray Elliott of the parks
division of the state Game, Fish and Parks Department. Both of them lauded
the idea.
Chan Beach reviewed Huron’s position as pheasant capital of the world for
the group. He pointed out that it is famous for that among sportsmen
throughout the nation.
“Hunting is a $20 million business for South Dakota, and pheasant hunting is
a big part of that,” Beach said. “More colorful publicity would mean a great
deal to the Huron area in added tourist trade. This giant pheasant can be
tied into state highway planning, state tourist promotion and area
recreation.”
“You have only to look at the national publicity of the corn Palace, the
dinosaurs at Rapid City, the Paul Bunyan and blue Ox at Bemidji, to receive
to imagine what a giant permanent pheasant in Huron would do for publicity,”
Berg said.
Sign man “Slim” Campbell told the group that concrete would appear to be the
best material and that it would run into considerable money. He recommended
consulting with people who have made such things.
Plan New Highway
Dick Pease of the city plan commission reviewed the state highway
department’s plans for a divided four-lane highway that will replace Fourth
St. N. and border the 25 acre tract the city and state have tree-planted,
the baseball park and Northside Memorial Park. He said development of the
area would tie in perfectly with state highway planning.
Pat Dixon of the state publicity department said the project had tremendous
potential.
“It would capitalize on the trend in tourism to camping. More and more
people want camping and parking and resting facilities for both overnight
and mid-day stops. Such a project as this would be perfect.”
He also conceded the giant pheasant would be an excellent publicity vehicle.
Ray Elliott of the state parks department enthusiastically comp0limented the
group of Huronians for the conception of the idea and said it would be the
best such area in the state if carried to completion. He offered state
cooperation.
Jack Kunhart, city parks superintendent, said that the trees planted were in
good shape now and beyond any possible river flood damage. He said the parks
department has planned to put 300 or so picnic tables in the area and
arrange for water and toilet facilities.
Elliott said that in 1955 there were 240,000 tourists who stopped at 36
roadside parks in south Dakota.
Mal Andersen moved that chairman Berg be empowered to appoint an eight-man
ways and means committee. The motion carried and Berg appointed the
committee May 16 was set as the date for a farther report and committee
meeting.

Big Pheasant
Big Park
The embryonic project of a group of Huronians to promote construction of a
giant pheasant in the 25-acre park and recreation area alongside the new
projected Highway 14 route in north Huron is an excellent one.
Too much has yet to be investigated to be able to describe it in detail.
But the coordination of city planning with state planning and highway
routing obviously could give Huron the best roadside park and recreation
area in the state, in the Memorial Park, Ravine Park and baseball park area.
As for the huge pheasant idea, it has wonderful potentiality. The tourist
trade’s reaction to the Corn Palace, to the dinosaurs at Rapid City, to the
huge replicas in Bemidji of Paul Bunyan and his Blue Ox, Babe, prove the
practicality of it.

Miss Cronk, a teacher in the public schools,
should be thankful that there is a mud hole in front of the post-office.
Thursday afternoon she was driving V. B. Davis' horse and buggy, alone. The
horse is a highly-spirited one, and does not need any pushing on the lines
to make him go. While turning out of Third street to the south into the
avenue at a rapid rate, the buggy was overturned and the driver was thrown
into the mud hole before the post-office, and close up against the support
to the side walk. Had the momentum been only a little greater, she must have
struck the walk and been severely injured. As it happened, she was only
slightly bruised. Her cloak was beautifully coated with mud. Which will rub
off when it dries.

STARTING
TOMORROW, CLERK
OF COURTS WILL
KEEP A RECORD OF
ALL BURIALS
State Law Provides For Uniform
System of Listing All Graves in South Dakota
"From the cradle to the grave a record is kept."
This might well be the new motto of the clerk of courts. For, effective
tomorrow morning, this officer (in conjunction with the State Board of
Health), who already records a detailed account of the birth, marriage,
divorce, and death of every person in his particular county, will keep an
additional record of the date, cemetery, and exact spot in which each person
is buried.
The law providing for this, known formerly as House Bill No. 183, was passed
at the last session of the state legislature. The bill, sponsored by the
American Legion, was introduced by the Committee on Military Affairs for the
original purpose of obtaining the military records of all war veterans
buried in South Dakota and to set up a uniform method for recording burial
certificates.
The system will work something like this:
Whenever a death occurs in the county, a death certificate will be filed
with the clerk of courts, who, in turn, issues two burial permits (an
original and a duplicate) to the undertaker in charge. It then becomes the
duty of the undertaker to contact the person in charge of the cemetery in
which burial is made, and deliver to him the two permits.
As required by law, the caretaker of the cemetery must certify, over his
signature, receipt of the permits, the date of burial, and the grave, block,
lot, and section numbers. The original permit is then returned to the
clerk of courts by the undertaker and the duplicate is kept by the person in
charge of the cemetery, who also must keep a record of burials. After
receiving the original burial permit back from the undertaker, the clerk of
courts immediately records the burial in three places, the file of burial
permits, a card index listing every person buried in the county, and on a
plat, or map, of the cemetery. Both the card index and the file have certain
essential facts about the person buried recorded on them, and a plat is kept
for each cemetery in the county.
Since the bill was passed by
the legislature, WPA laborers have been surveying and maping the cemeteries
in the state, and standard plats have been prepared for each of them.
S. P. Glanzer, Beadle County clerk of courts, said that maps of the type
used in this project could be obtained by mailing $1 to Rapid City.
"It is almost imperative that every cemetery association secure one of these
in order to comply with the law," Glanzer said.
The clerk of courts will keep a plat of each cemetery and will mark the
position of the grave of each person buried on it.
There are 30 cemeteries in Beadle County and the clerk of courts is keeping
a list of the name, location, and the number buried in each of them.
Glanzer said the number buried is not yet complete, but the Grave
Registration Committee will bring it up to date shortly after July 1.
From then on the record will be kept by the clerk.
Following is a list of the cemeteries in Beadle County, with the number
buried in each.

the closing of the school this year. The graduation of Nellie Ann
Kopperud, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kopperud, closed the
registration of a member of that family after a period of 31 years when the
eldest daughter, Alice, entered the first grade.
Since that time, all 11 children have graduated from the high school, some

Sunday morning to attend the funeral of Susan Hempstead, the 12 year old
daughter of V. F. and Rosie Davis, which occurred in that city on Sunday.
Dr. Huff returned from Wolsey this afternoon and reports Katharine Druse,
aged 45, and Burdett Scofield, aged 16, frozen to death in Thursday's storm.
P. Malone, living in Grant township, was in Huron making final proof,
when the storm came up. He lost five head of cattle.
Dr. John Diesey started for home a mile north of Iroquois, with his team.
After wandering about for six hours he reached the home of Mrs. Ball, but
was quite exhuasted.
John Watt living on section 18, 109 61 had 40 head of cattle out when the
storm began. His hired man, L. Harper, attempted to drive the stock to
shelter, but they stampeded and Harper, with great difficulty, found his way
back home. Only four head of cattle were lost.
S. W. Campbell was attending to his stock when the storm came up. He
succeeded in getting all the cattle under shelter. His mustache froze fast
to his face, and was so filled with ice and snow that breathing became quite
difficult, so with his pocket knife he shaved off the mustache as best he
could, and had no further trouble. His face and upper lip was somewhat
frosted.
There were various reports concerning Ezra F. Fuller. Some of them very
sensational. M. A. Collins was in the city on Tuesday. He says that
Mr.
Fuller, who lives in 110-60 had been in Sanborn county and was three miles
on his way home when the storm struck him. He remained out all night and was
rescued about 8 o'clock Friday morning by Mr. Olson who heard him calling.
Except the freezing of one hand Mr. Fuller was all right and able to be out.
Frank Lyon and Charley White were in Huron when the storm set in. They
live in Grant township. When they left home Mrs. Lyon went over to Mrs.
White's to remain while the men were absent. The wind blew down the
stovepipe that went through the roof of the White residence, and scattered
fire about the room which the ladies quickly extinguished. They were unable
to replace the pipe. When they began getting cold they crept into bed
together, and remained there until Mr. White and Mr. Lyon arrived a little
past noon on Friday.
Chas. Stowe, living on the n.w. quarter section of 10 111-61, brings word
to this office that Wm. Sage, a young man about 19 years old, had his feet,
face and hands badly frozen in Thursday's storm. The young man was caught
out in the storm and wandered about for a long time, but finally succeeded
in getting shelter in a straw stack, where he remained all night and the
next morning crept on his hands and knees to Mr. Stowe's where he found
shelter, and by the tender care received at the hands of Mr. Stowe and
family is rapidly recovering. The young man is entirely destitute of means
and it is feared that he may lose both feet. His parents live in Hand county
and have been notified of his condition.

A Tale of a Tail
From a gentleman who called at this office to-day, we learn the following
somewhat ludicrous account of a party who had an "experience" in the late
storm: Thirteen miles south of Huron lives a man named Story. He was
watering his cattle when the storm came up. With him were two dogs which
immediately began barking and yelping, frightening the cattle, which ran in
every direction. Mr. Story tried to drive them to the barn. Fearing he would
be lost and perish, he caught hold of the tail of a two year old steer,
which he was satisfied would run to the barn. He was not disappointed. No
sooner had he taken a firm grip on the tail when the animal struck out at a
lively rate, and made rapid strides in a direction not toward the barn, but
Mr. Story hung on to the tail. By the aid of the dogs he succeeded in
changing the animal's course, and when it struck the path leading to the
barn, it increased its pace. But Mr. Story held fast, and the animal brought
him safely to the barn, where he remained till a lull in the storm, when he
found his way to the house. Mr. S. wouldn't part with that steer or its
tail, for a hundred dollars!
Dr. Hathaway is yet obliged to use crutches because of an attack of
rheumatism.
D. Stick and wife departed for Vinton, Iowa, on Wednesday having been
here for some time with their son D. L. Stick, and daughter, Mrs. John A.
Kemp.
Col. Ed. Sterling, was arrested this afternoon on the charge of assault
and battery, by Mrs. Holbrook, his former housekeeper. Plead not guilty.
Trial set for Friday of next week, defendent hled on his own recognizance.
A number of Huron people attended the funeral of the late Robert
Chambers, which occurred at the family residence, six miles southwest from
town, on Tuesday. Rev. D. S. McCaslin conducted the services. Interment in
Riverside.
The friends of James Melvin and wife will be sorry to learn of the death
of their little child after an illness of only a few days. It died Monday
morning and was buried on Tuesday.
The friends of Conductor John Randall and wife will be pained to learn of
the death of their child. Mr. Randall is snowbound at Watertown, but is
expected to reach home today.
The funeral services of the late Thomas E. Gilkeson will be held at the
family residence on the Judge Caldwell farm, a mile and a half south from
town, at two o'clock Thursday afternoon. Friends of the family are invited
to be present. The remains will be buried in Riverside cemetery. It is the
intention of Mrs. Gilkeson to remove them eventually to New York state,
where she and her husband formerly resided.
Mat. Whipple, brother to David Whipple of this place, departed for his
home in Sioux Falls, on Tuesday, having been here since Wednesday of last
week.
Wm. Sage, about 22 years of age, was brought to the alms house on
Wednesday afternoon. He has been working for Mr. Beebe, about eight miles
northeast from Huron, in Iowa township. A short time before the storm on
Thursday, Mr. Sage started to walk to Huron. He had proceeded about two
miles when overtaken by the storm. After wandering till newarly night he
came upon a straw stack. Digging a hold into it he crept in and remained
till Friday morning. When daylight came he recongized the country, and went
to the house of Mr. Fowler, where he remained until Saturday. He was then
taken to Mr. Stowe's, and from there brought to the alms house in this city.
His face is considerably frosted and both feet badly frozen. Dr. Smith gave
him medical treatment, and superintendent Stobbs and wife will take good
care of him. The doctor says he will recover, and is suprised to find him so
well after enduring the storm and cold for 24 hours. Mr. Sage is an
intelligent young man and the cause of his being short of means at this
time, is because he sent all his money to his parents in the east who
recently lost everything by fire.

A HEINOUS OFFENSE
Two Women in the 1st Ward Have a Drunken Row Over Whisky Bought for Them
by a Little Girl
The Women in Jail and the Wisky Sellers in a Tight Place
Wednesday night Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Quinn, residents of
First street, had another fight -- a desperate one. Liquor fired them up to
quarrel.
Thursday they were arrested by the city marshal, brought to the police
court and, after a hearing, committed to jail for 24 days each. Mrs.
Miller's little girl, 13 years old, was a witness, and the evidence showing
that she was in the habit of going to the saloons of John Byers, Julius Borgwardt and
Robert Byers to buy liquor for her mother,
and perhaps some of the neighbors when she was directed to do so. And it was
not brought out in evidence that these men refused to sell liquor to the
little child, who is a minor. Further, the child admitted that she sometimes
got drunk.
The women went to jail and the little girl is to be cared for by some
kind ladies who will provide her a home if she will accept it.
Friday morning, at the instance of district attorney Sterling, the
saloon keepers above named were arrested and brought before justice Fred
E. Grant, on the charge of selling liquor to minors. Their trials were
set for Friday afternoon but afterward the hour was changed to 9 o'clock
Saturday morning.
If it should be proven on the examination of Byers and Borgwardt
tomorrow, that they did sell liquor to a minor, the justice is required to
bind them over to the next term of court. And if found builty there, the
penalty that can be inflicted is a fine of not less than $100 nor over $300;
or imprisonment not to exceed fifty days; or both, in the discretion of the
court.
Isn't it about time for the saloon to go?

JUNE BRIDES PLAN
WEDDINGS
In keeping with the popular idea that June is the ideal month for
marriages, wedding bells are slated to ring out here this month for
several couples in Huron and vicinity.
Although the wedding ceremony itself is compareatively short and
receptions are no longer three day celebratoins, every member of the
immediate families, friends and relatives of the intended couples gets a
workout completing plans. Setting the place, time, and date is only a
preliminary step.
Invitations much be addressed, attendants chosen, gowned and suited,
definite decisions made about flowers and music and then all the where,
who and how of the reception.
Although there are several set rules and traditions followed in the
marriage rituals, no two wedding are alike. According to Emily Post
every wedding must be arranged to best suit its individual situation.
The truth of this statement is evident in the wedding plans now being
made by several couples who will marry soon.
It isn't every girl who can be married by her employer, but this will be
the case when Miss
Marion Hopper and the Rev. John Schlarb
are wed June 14 by the Rev. S. W. Keck. For the past several years Miss
Hopper has been a secretary in the office of Dr. Keck.
The Rev. Paul Mallory will be best man and his small daughter, Pauline,
flower girl. "Is Pauline ever thrilled," said Mrs. Mallory who is making
her daughter's yellow dotted swiss dress. Mrs. Gene Lothrop and Miss
Matildas Jones will help carry out the bride's chosen colors of rose and
blue in their bridesmaid's gowns.
***
"Right now I'm hunting up a
punch bowl," were the words of
Mrs. Lowell Prose,
Wolsey, whose daughter
Wava,
will marry Leroy
Busch of
Minneapolis, here June 18. Although the wedding will take place in a
Huron church, the reception will be held at the family's home near
Wolsey.
"At last," said Mrs. Prose, "we are going to get our chance to take
advantage of our large lawn and big house at the reception."
The bride-to-be and her sister, Evon, also of Minneapolis, are expected
hom to help complete plans the first part of the week. In the meanwhile,
Mrs. Prose is making tentative reception plans with the guests' comfort
constantly in mind. At present she is arranging and re-arranging the
furniture to enable the guests to enuoy their cool refreshments in
removed spots away from the busy serving table.
"My daughters, Vera Jane and Ruth will help me," said Mrs. Prose, "and I
know Evon will be some place," she laughed.
Even Mr. Prose is busy according to his wife. "He's just like most men,"
Mrs. Prose confided, "he really likes this type of thing, but it does
make him a little nervous."
***
In discussing the
approaching marriage of her daugher,
Lois Lemke,
to Kenneth Monson,
June 19, Mrs. Lemke said: "My father married all his children, but Lois
will be the first grandchild he has ever married."
The Rev. Bernard Van Heuvelen, who retired from the ministry about 11
years ago, will officiate with the Rev. Joseph Gray at the ceremony in
the Presbyterian Church.
Lois who is making her own wedding gown, will have two former State
collete room-mates, Carol Berry and Eunice Gutormson, as bridesmaids.
While Lois sews Mrs. Lemke is busy trying to match shades of pastel
green, which with pastel pink, are the bride's chosen colors.
Several relatives and guests are expected for the wedding including the
bride's aunt, Mrs.
Willis Van Heuvelen,
who will sing and Harold Van Heuvelen who will play violin selections.
***
In carrying out the
tradition of wearing something old,
Donna Johnson
will wear a brooch worn by her great grandmother, when she weds
Darold Shanahan,
June 25. Her colors are also blue and white.
Mrs. Oscar Johnson,
the bride's mother, is busy with plans for the reception which will be
held in the Fiesta Room of the Tams Hotel while
Mrs. Shanahan
is planning floral arrangements.
Mrs. Lloyd Framdahl,
the bride's sister, is expected soon from Watertown to help with plans
and necessary details.
"I know everything will work out fine," said Mrs. Johnson, "but right
now I'm not sure if I'm coming or going."
***
"I'm sure I'll live through
this last minute rush," were the confident words of
Ruth Ormond,
who recently returned here from Wyoming to announce her wedding plans to
her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William Ormond.
Later, Mr. Ormond formally announced: "The approaching marriage of our
daughter Ruth June
to Arnold Korkow."
Later he added, "she went to Wyoming and a cowboy got her heart."
However the couple will reside on a farm near here in the fall.
Because blue has always been Ruth's favorite color she has chosen blue
and white as her colors. The bridesmaids,
Melva Jane Fenner and Ruth
Shoemaker will wear
pink and blue while the matron of honor,
Mrs. C. B. Sorenson
will wear pink. Lt.
Fred Wilson of
Igloo will be best man.

Huron, October
9. – While men were burning a fire break around a tree claim, eight
miles northwest of here this afternoon, the fire got beyond their
control and swept over a vast stretch of country.
The wind was
blowing 40 miles and hour, and it drove the fire so rapidly that all
attempts to chock it proved useless.
The town of
Broadland narrowly escaped destruction, and the people of Hitchcock, 18
miles northwest of here, only saved their town by back-firing. All the
people in the vicinity have been fighting fire, and a posse of men have
been sent fro her to aid them.
The fire was
not under control at 8 o’clock tonight, but burning in smaller strips.
The section burned over is from 7 to 10 miles wide by 20 miles in
length.
The loss to
the settlers will be very heavy, as in the burned district there were
scores of prosperous farms.
The same
section was devastated by fire last year.
