A 10-mile
stretch of the Spade Ranch’s pasture was burned when the people watching the
fire lost control of it. The strong south wind made the fire spread north rather
quickly. It burned up to the Spade Ranch headquarters and took about 100 men to
finally get the fire put after several hours of fighting it. However, the lost
of the grass at this point is a serious problem for the ranch, which belongs to
W. L. Ellwood.
