FIRE CHECKED,
NO DAMAGE
Dampness during the night checked
the advance northward ot the forest
fire which swept across the Poland
and Kudolph homesteads yesterday
afternoon.
Through the vigorous efforts of
those living in the vicinity, men em
ployed by J. E. Kush, special agent
of the land office, forest service em
ployes, city firemen and employes of
the U. S. railroad all buildings in
danger were saved from destruction.
The fire spread shortly after 12
o’clock from a brush on the Kudolph
homestead where H. C. Taylor has
been clearing land for garden pur
poses. At the start the wind was
blowing from the northwest, but it
soon shifted to the northeast and then
shifted to the south.
With a special train and men gath
ered in the yards the railroad offi
cials shifted 50 tons of powder from
the magazine at Mile 2 to cars and it
was taken out the line to a place of
safety.
The fire jumped the cut at one
place and started across tne head of
the bay, but was checked.
Cabins in Porcupine had the closest
call and here splendid work was done
by the volunteers in checking the
flames.
Members of the fire department un
der Chief Wiley and men under Bush
worked on the hill side to prevent the
flames from spreading south above
town and the danger is apparently
past.
