A Trio of Fires Last Night and This Morning

Quite a disastrous prairie fire occurred 12 mile west of the city last night about 10 o'clock.  W. D. Mayfield, upon whose land the blaze was first started, had taken the precaution to plow all around the spot in order to clear it of stubble but high wind arose during the evening and drove flames across broken ground into pasture of J. F. Evans. Flames spread rapidly, soon consuming several ricks of hay amounting to tons. Buildings including barns and residences were saved.
About 8 this morning, the residence of Mrs. Eliza Maxey, in Fairview, discovered to be on fire in the roof of kitchen. Building insured with W. T. Boyd of city.
