A grass fire driven by dry conditions and wind scorched the Dan Honig place and hills last week. Fire crews fought it by hand with wet sacks and Indian pumps aided by 41 National Guard members, fan trucks, a water trailer, and radio comms, stopping the blaze after five hours while large trees glowed overnight.
Alonzo Faught owner of a San Saba ranch received word a grass fire was near his property. He, his son Jim and son-in-law Theo Maud rushed to the scene and helped control the blaze within a half mile of the ranch. They urged securing livestock and penned them. No immediate tally of acres burned or livestock losses was reported. A rattlesnake danger tale emerged as others killed several snakes while aiding the effort.
A Texas outdoors column urges husbands to invite their wives on fishing trips to strengthen outdoors interest. It argues women can outfish men with guidance, warns against leaving them idle, and notes practical tips for shared fishing duties. The piece closes by highlighting a long tradition of anglers and a call to embrace family fishing moments.
