"The fires wore undoubtedly sat out," states Mr. Erickson, "as un mistakable evidence of this fact has been found. Piro started in places where no hunter would penetrate. I have hopes that a few of the mis creants wjll be fonnd and proso cuted. "It was very discouraging to fight fire for 20 or 24 hours and then when your worn-out men tried to snatch a moment's sleep to find tnat new fires were started. Ono night six, to my knowledge, were set out." Back to rortlaad.
