Philadelphia. April 1 7th. Special
to The Alliance Herald. -The Six
round scheduled bout between Luth

Olympic
Custer, South Dakota. April 17th
Special to The Alllanee Herald. A
forest fire, starting Tuesday morn
ing during a high wind, between
Pringle and Custer, South Dakota, on
the Dead wood branch of the Burling
ton, burned over a large section of
the Black Hills National Forest,
i sing damage amounting to hund
reds' of thousands of dollars imd
made many families homeless. So
far aa known no lives were lost, all
ranchmen and others living In the
burned district having time to .
i hcmaelves.
The fire started from a straw
slack which was being burned by a
rancher, who lost his own home
and bulldingK. It burned all day
Tuesday, Tuesday night and was not
gotten under control until Wednes
day night. The burned area covers
a strip nine miles wide and sixteen
miles long, which was covered with
a growth of pine and frr trees. A
number of ranch houaea and build
ings were burned and for a time the
fire threatened to burn the town of
Buffalo Oap. Two troopa of cavalrjr
were sent from Ft. Meade to aid In
fighting th flames. Hundreds of
men and boys came from Dead wood
to the scene of the fire. Hard work
and, a well-organized fire fighting
force finally gained victory over the
flames. The town of Custer and
Pringle on the Burlington were un
harmed although In danger for a
time. The blind siding of Mayo on
tin- Burlington was entirely surround--d
by flro but not much damage done
to the railroad property. The town
ot Pringle has a population of about
cm. hundred and the town of CegtSf
about eight hundred.

For some years past The Herald
has been urging the people of Box
Butte and neighboring counties to
set out trees- and then take care
of them It is a well known fact
that trees set out poorly and tin n
neglected might as well be thrown
ou Into the middle of the road; but
;i bag In en ctemonst rated that tree
set out. right and then taken care
of will grow and thrive.
Next Tuesday, April 22nd, Is Ar
bor Day In Nebraska. Every patrl
otiic citizen ought to observe it, but
It will be well to not wait till that
day to begin planting trees, or to
stop when the day Is pant. Let us
make our city and country beautiful
with trees. , u ,
The Alliance Nursery can furnish
vim the trees, the kdod best adapted
