MOUNTAIN FIRES,
Mach Valugbie Timber Destroyed in the
County,
All lust week and up to Bunday fires
were raging among valuable timber on
the various mountain ridges in the
county, and the timber destroyed will
run into thousands ot dollars, The
rain on Sunday extinguished the
flames and prevented their spread.
The Seven mountains south of here
for several days were sending up clouds
of smoke and at night the flames were
plainly discernable. The Nittany
mountain on the Nittany valley
was burning at one point, but the
| damage did not amount to any great

was destroyed and the fires there caus-
