Miles beyoud the dry grass and weeds of the prairie became ignited from the sparks of a passing train, and a stiff wind soon fanned the flames into a conflagration and carried fiery waves toward the east at the rate of thirty miles an hour. The skraf of wind waa not so very widst else the destruction to the country west of North Flatte would have reached greater proportion! than it did. As it was, everything in the path of the Are was burned, and when the last embers had died out there was a black atrip hundreds of yards wide extending across the prairie as far as the eye could reach.

But all these measures served to hold the flames iu control for a short time only, and when the wind suddenly increased the Are drove the brave men and women back and continued its onward sweep.
