The house IU was occupied by Willis Michael. The fire started from sparks from the chiui •d ney igniting the roof while Mrs Michael was preparing dinner, and had gained too great headway to be put out when discovered. Part of the furniture was saved. The loss was about £IOOO. t_ During the late dry weather forest ] fires burned over thousands of acres of $ timber in Butler county. A tire near •Six Points. Allegheny township. Sun day. is reported to have bnrned an oil " rig. On Saturday two men passing through the woods near Ferris on the f Milliard branch, carelessly dropped a match after lighting their pipes, and | started a fire which bnrned over 500 '' j acres of timber land 011 the Yanderlin. : Sea ton. Burk and Murrin farms Fences . ! and underbrush were licked up cleau. _ and young trees killed by the sap being l>oiled at their roots. Some of the larger ones are strong enough to endure ' the fire. The fire necessitates the cutting '• of the timber to prevent its total loss. Small game has suffered severely from the fires. During the fire near Ferris ' rabbits with their hair siuged oft were seen fleeing l»efore the flames. Many others, dazed, ran into the fire and were 1 burned. There is talk of prosecuting - the men who started the fire. i In Donegal township a stretch of | territory over two miles in lentfth was r burned over, and John Burford's build ings had a close call. The fire was 4 started by a careless teamster, who dropped a lighted match in the woods. Oil. VOTES.
