A definite check up of the ravage of the prairie fires which have been raging over North Central Nebraika and acrou tho lino in the v.clnlty of the Rotebud Indian reservation in South Dakota lines last Wednesday showed that no livea were lost, no towns were destroyed, but that property dam age amounting to approximately $1,000,000 waa caused.

After causing an estimated loss of $1,000,000 or more to hay lands and ranchers property, virtually nil of the prairie fires which have ravaged North Central Nebraska and the southern section of South Dakota, were extinguished today, according to a survey made this noon. No loss of life was sustain ed as far as known In Nebraska, although unconfirmed reports told of the death of four persona In South Dakota. These reports were discredited here tpday, al though many ranchers were forced to flee before the flames.

It Is the general view here that the larger fires have subsided ow ing to the settled calm of the winds which whipped the flames yesterday and Wednesday. Not much damage Is expected hence forth as ranchers everywhere are tackllrg the smaller blazes. Disrupted telephone communica tion and the unsettled conditions of the country makes verification difficult, although every report tells of large damage to ranches. A verified report today told of the destruction of the William Yancey ranch, north of Cody, Neb., several miles west of here. The ranch, one of the largest in north ern Nebraska, was completely burned out. It Is also known def initely that several other ranches were burned out. Many cattle shells In that region.
