the south of the terminus of the main line of the St Paul and road on the Red river took fire and fanned by a high wind prevailed at tho time spread with a frightful rapidity No person except those who have lived upon the immense prairies of tho west can form any idea what a awe-inspiring terrific sight it is to sec the fire run not over hundreds of miles of territory covered only with fuel to feed the insatiate monster which travels with the speed of the wind de- everything in its course Any attempt to be the grandeur of such a sight would ha than useless ing at first fumi small beginning the llames gradually spread out gathering force with every gust ol wind constantly widening their course until with mad ri- fury they leap and plunge in direction licking up everything in their march like a very demon of destruction until they remind the awe-inspired be- holder of that scene which the children of Israel beheld when they wore led by a oi the cloud by and a ot fire by night At such a time thing living whether man or beast flies in terror for it is worse than useless to contend with the fiery monster whose breath burneth like an oven Such a scene the residents of our state west of the Big along the line of the St Paul and Pacific road have during the past two or three days From a small beginning somewhere near the western boundary ot the state the fire spread to the ISO miles from the point of starting In striking the woods it was not stayed in its course but tho seizing upon the dry under- brush and from thence to tho tall trees of tho forest it extended its line for fifteen miles in the heavy timber until it reached Smith lake When fairly under headway in the timber the scene is described as grand beyond tne power of pen or pencil to picture Roaring ling with a sound that could be heard for miles the dimes tore their way leaving behind a blackened smoking desolate waste to mark their onward march thing in their course was destroyed The grain and the and in some instances we have heard the rude home and scanty hold goods of the settler all fell a prey to the insatiate monster The terror-stricken people leaving all their worldly by behind thankful to escape with their lives On Saturday morning the limes began to approach tho line of the St Paul and Pacific road at different points But few supposed the danger to be so serious or so imminent and delayed too long the means by which they conld have warded off at least a portion of the damage Such was the with tl e men in charge of Da Graff at the terminus of the iron on the St Paul and Pacific road some twenty miles this side of They supposed there was no danger at tho buildings were situated on the opposite side of the railroad track and the would have tc make a leap of some forty feet to reach them They did not calculate upon the force of tho coming whirlwind of fire and the ing- together with all their contents fell an prey to the flames Leaping the road ind at different points sotting fire to tho the fUmes sped onward with the of the wind The passenger train that left here on morning for Morris arrived safely at the station although the employes and passengers on the train were almost suffo- with the emoke and heat and when it reached Morris the cars were filled with the cinders and ashes of the prairie grass The whole country for miles and miles was covered with a dense volume of smoke and the air was filled with the dying em- bers of grass shrubs All day on Sunday the fire raged with unabated fury and yesterday when the passenger train from Morris came over the road there was a line of fire for miles on each side of the in the Big between Darwin and Smith Like being especially grand and terrific The fire bad crossed the road and was still sweeping Tbat in the woods would extend to Crow river where its course would be stayed but that on the prairie will probably far northward in this city was returning from Fort bercrombie with fire fine horses The overtook him and seeing his only safety lay in facing them be headed his for the wall of fire and dashed through burning his overcoat from his back and injuring his horses to such an extent that they are almost worthless b or Innately Mr escaped with only a few barns He is an old hand on the prairies and holding his breath lowed no flame or two behind Mr Gager was a man driving a flock of some 150 sheep Neither man nor sheep bad been heard from at last accounts The man may have but the sheep undoubtedly had their mutton cooked On Sunday Mr Cavender the conductor of the Morris train went out some two miles on the prairie with a companion or two They eaw the fire approaching in the distance but did not suppose there was any danger They did not calculate upon its rapid march and turning too late to fly would have perished had they not fortunately had matches with them with they set a back and following it up they stood smoking embers while the burning blast swept by them at a safe distance Mr Davenport an assistant engineer on the road had hii camp at Groton station together with all hit clothes A a burned The damage to the St Paul aad Pacific road 10 far as we have learned was con- fined to the boning of a few on the track which have been and the burning of an amount of is unknown None of the trains have been delayed as the portion of the track injured was repaired on Sunday and all the trains made their regular time It is impossible to estimate the low earned by this wide-spread conflagration At last accounts the firo was still raging north of the line of the road and where it will be stopped be told We very much fear that the full particulars of the loss are known it will show the de- struction of an immense amount of grain hay fences etc in the territory over
