Fires have been more numerous in the past week than in any spring for a number of years. The high winds and the rail road engines contributed largely to the results.

Not only was the range in that entire county swept but many are reported to have lost their buildings , household goods and hay. Another fire in southwest of Dunning in the vicinityof ' 'ootes and ConwayVi ranches did con siderable damage. It is reported that Conway lost his hay range two thousand bushels of corn and all ol hiscorrells. The barn being covered with sheet iron was saved. Hy hard work Foote's saved their buildings and hav but had their range burned. No stock was lost , but it is reported that in the same fire the Black ranch had two hundred cattle hurne'l and the Wagner ranch had twenty head of horses burn ed. Some so badly that they had to be shot. Dtve Coulter had his bnrn burned Monday night on his farm ten miles west of Broken HOW with its contents.
