BELTRAMI COUNTY. 



O. J. Tagley, village president, Nymore, May 4: 



April 25th fire was discovered in section 2, town 146, 

 range 33, about 2! miles northeast of here. It had gotten 

 much headway and as a strong wind was blowing it took 

 us several hours, fighting the fire and plowing furrows 

 before we had it under control. Including the meadow 

 land I should judge that the fire burned over fully five sec- 

 tions, and the timber loss and hay destroyed amounted 

 to several hundreds of dollars. April 26th a fire about 2 

 miles south of Nymore spread over nearly 2 miles of mead- 

 ow land; also destroyed considerable standing timber, 

 burned nearly 100 cords of wood and the home of Olof 

 Larson was only saved after hard work. I took six men 

 with me and we worked very hard for several hours be- 

 fore we had the fire under control. 



A. G. Rutledge, Bemidji, June i : 



There was a very bad fire at Nymore (which is a mile 

 east of Bemidji) yesterday afternoon and evening. Mr. 

 O. J. Tagley, President of the village council of Nymore,
