Last Sunday afternoon a small child playing with matches in the woods near its home started a forest fire near Dills’ Knob. The smoke soon attracted the attention of Deputy Wardens Dave McCoy and D.M. Rogers. Each gathered a considerable number of men and proceeded to the fire, which they had gotten under control by dark after it had burned over about 50 acres.
