Devastating Forest Fire Dreams Over Fifty Miles
Long smoldering fires in the district exploded as a west wind rose to thirty miles per hour, reaching forty by afternoon. By 4 p.m. the fires united into a single blaze spanning about fifty miles, driving woodsmen from camps and forcing homesteaders to flee to towns. Hundreds of farms and cattle were abandoned as residents sought shelter, and some families were separated or left behind as towns struggled to relief the advancing fire.
