THE LAST BLAZE A BAD ONE It Was Started by u Bone Picker, “’ho Has Fled and a Price Has Been Put Upon His Head—The Number of Lives Lost Not: Yet Known. ELLENDALE, N man, just arrived from Missouri river country, 100 miles west of here, confirms the reports of the very destructive fire in Emmons county, and tells of a still greater conflagration on the prairies west of the Missouri river. He states that a. fire raged there for sev- eral days, and burned over a region 300 miles long- and 200 miles wide, destroying immense quantities of hay belonging to farmers, rauchmen and Indians, also burning and staxnpeding beyond recovery . many valuable herds of horses, cattle and sheep, and probably resulting in the loss of many human 11v es, though nothing au— thentic on that score is yet ascertainable. The region swept over by the flames is described as a vast plain of death and des- olation, the awfulneSs of which can in some measure be felt when standing alone. in its midst, but which no words can de- scribe. The fire is said to have been started by a Buffalo bonepicker, that he might be bet- ter able to find the object of his search“ Realizing the calamity he had been the, cause of, he is said to have fled. A price has been set upon his head, and if caught he will be lynched. . The Dunmgc “’idespread. MITCHELL, S. 1).. Oct. 2.—-—The prairie fire which swept over a. portion of Aurora and J erold counties recently was productive of more damage than first reported. The extent of the losses done to the farmers in the destruction of grain in the stack, barns and other buildings is indicated by ‘the fact that claims for damages against the Milwaukee railroad to the extent of 810,000 have already been filed. The area burned Over includes astrip variously estimated to be from one to five miles’in width, starting from the center of Aurora county and extending north through that and Jerold. county, thirty miles or more from the starting point. ' But few farm dwellings wm 1 burned, the damage consisting in the coming up of grain and outbuildings, as well as some stock. One farmer lost. $3,009, while the' majority lost lesser amounts. hIay Have Been Fired by Indians. OLD MILLE LAC RESERVATION, Minn, Oct. 2.—-—Until thefiooding rains now pour- ing down set in heavy fires have been rag‘ ing in the Old Mille Lac Reservation pine forests since the 19th inst., burning over about two townships and destroying about 15,000,000 feet of pine timber, a large amount of hay and a great many settlers’ houses. The fires started up in many places at the same time on the night of the 22d inst., and seemingly signal shots were heard from many quarters. It is the gen- eral belief among the settlers that the In— dians set the fires to burn the pine, hay . and settlers’ houses. The Indians protected most of the maple sugar belts near the lake where all of the sugar camps are situated, as they are told by traders and Indian sympathizers that they can take their allotments on all lands adjoining the lake, regardless of the set- tlers’ claims. , Lived to Be Over 15 Hundred.

The mysterious monster in Lebanon’s water supply dam turns out to be a snap- ping turtle which was captured by two boys. Pension Commissioner Raum has dis- charged three clerks who made charges against his son that the latter used his father’s influence for a financial considera- tion. Commissioner Raum has made a statement of the case to the president, in which he claims that a systematic effort has been made to oust him from his office. Andrew Quinton, for fifty years a con- ductor on the Pennsylvania railroad, was killed at Avon, near Aabury Park, while crossing the track. He was the oldest con- ductor in the United States. The Hontzdale bank and the First Na- tional bank of Clearfleld, Pa, have sus- pended. William H. Dill, of Clearfield, who was interested in both institutions, has made an assignment. A social sensation was caused in Buflalo by an action brought against Mrs. Ben- nett, one of the “Four Hundred,” by he: daughter-in-law for the recovery of dam- ages for alienation of her husband’s affec— . tions. Mrs. Bennett thought her son had married beneath his station and persuaded him to leave his Wife. The jury gave a verdict for $2,700. . 3 ' 1891. OGTOBER. Su. Mo. Tu. 1891. We. Th. Fr.
