Swept By Fire

Guthrie, O. T., Oct 27.- The sky is lit up in every direction by the lurid glare of prairie fires. Some of the fires have been burning three days and have done a great deal of damage. Hundreds of farms have been swept of crops and fences and in two score or more of cases the houses and barns have been consiimed, the stock perishing and the people escaping only with their lives n the Iowa country. The fire has gotten in the timber and will burn for weeks. It is feared a number of people have perished there Cimarrón City, a small town northeast of here, has been entirely wiped out, the people escaping by jumping into the river. M. B. Emery, stage driver to C'handler, and the l'erkins mail carrier were caug-ht in the fires and both terribly burned.
