Los Angeles Brush Fires Threaten Four Areas
Four major brush fires raged through Los Angeles suburbs driven by Santa Ana winds. More than 28,000 acres burned and at least 74 homes and a church were damaged or destroyed. The Agoura fire menaced 23,000 acres with 50 to 60 homes reportedly lost, while Santa Monica mountains and Mandeville Canyon flames destroyed dozens of houses and forced evacuations. Over 1,500 firefighters fought the blazes as wind shifts raised fears of fire gap closures between major fires.

Drive registers most South Dakota Indians
United Press International reports most eligible Indians on South Dakota reservations are now registered to vote, though county auditors question the drive and its funding. Voter registration is expected to exceed 90 percent, with concerns over many new ballots showing up as Democrats. Some auditors suspect party pressure, noting several registrations later changed to Democrat. The drive coincides with Bill Janklow’s gubernatorial run, a factor cited by five auditors. Mike Wells of United Sioux Tribes says many lack clarity on party registration. Wells, a Democrat, resigned as director Monday over drive issues.
