However, they will hold the meeting some time in the near future.

Coyote hunters were blamed for a prairie fire which swept over three sections of hay land east of here. A carelessly tossed cigaret stub is believed to have start ed the fire in the wake of hunters who were seen near the spot where the blaze flared up. More than thirty tons of stacked hay was destroyed. Volunteers who helped head off the flames made use of a fresh steer hide which was towed between two cars with a length of chain. The men rode the dragging hide and the spreading fire line was quickly check ed in the short grass. The direction of the main fire was in that manner directed to the shores of a lake. . f - . r " V : 1 V- V. '' Abraham I&lNTCOIr. m people ,jror me people ijcui nov perisfj ftom tfye earffy.
