FOREST FIRE ALARMS
CITIZENS OF DOUGLAS
DOUGLAS. April 2?A forest fire
broke out In the hills immediately
back of the city last night and for a
time burned with alarming energy, the
flames extending over a distance of a
quarter of a mile, which shot up into
the air. illuminating the country foi
miles.
Mayor O'Connor had the (tre bell
rung, about 2 a. m.. and went with the
firemen and a large number of citi
zens to assist In stopping the confla
gration. Owing to the lack of water
but little could be done to prevent the
fire from spreading which hud about
burned itself out this mornlug. though
several men are still on the scene to
guard against further damage. Aside
from burning the undergrowth and
some not overly valuable timber, no
damage was done, though for a time
the tank of the Murray mill was in
danger.
Mayor O'Connor wishes to thank the
people of Douglas for their ready re
sponse to the call of the fire bell and
to the firemen of this city and Tread
well. who came to the assistance of
the community when danger threat
ened. Tho men fought flames with
wet sacks, pucks of snow and by beat
ing oht the sparks and coals with
whatever camo handiest. Tho whole
country Is as dry as tinder and every
precaution should be taken ugnlnst
lighting fires at this time.
