Notwith- standing’ heroic efforts to place it under control, it is believed that it twill not be entirely extinguished with- out a drenching rain. Residents of that section fought ‘the fire for a few days, but could not prevent it from spreading, and Saturday Ralph Hall telephoned to Wheatland for help. Members of the Home Guard were pressed into serv- ice and other citizens, making a total number of about forty men, left Saturday afternoon. _ The fire has traveled in all direc- tions with the shifting winds and it is estimated that a territory about 17 miles in circumference has been burn- ed out. The destruction has been con- |fined to. government lands with the |exception of the old Mathews ranch which is reported to have been burned out. Other ranches were threatened |for a time, but hard work saved | them. ;. The men whowent from Wheat- |land combined with those from other | localities made a company of 70 or | 89, who divided into eight-hour shifts |and thus kept the work in continu- |ous progress. ——— —_ ‘BASEBALL AT | PARK .SUNDAY cal team and the crack Union Pacific | The baseball game between the lo- (CITY NEWS} | TE eR reas Sor Delightful Recital for aie Natrona <Canp ee $31, :| Mothers’ League J .
