i wo barns filled with hay and a

burned fiercely and was put undT
control at 4:30 p. m.. following tho
efforts of a .small army of fire
fighters.
The forest land was extremely
dry and the flames spread rapidly
through a heavy stand of timbe-.
sweeping down on the historic Dol
larhide buildings with such fury
that efforts to prevent their de
struction were in vain.
In tho neighborhood of a square
mile of timber waa destroyed, from
tho point where the fire started
nlong the highway near tho Mc
