somewhat forced marches, reaching
here on the morning train from Browns

nearly as much as reported. Most of
the tire had been in the underbrush,
and ho hardly saw a large tree that
was seriously damaged. Tho men had

by the Drew Co,, and had helped, the
main body of timber where the fire was
is owned by the Drew Co., and repre
