BUSH FIRES AT DANNEVIRKE.

RESIDENCES DESTROYED

Dannevirke, Fob. 12. The high wind raging last night and to-day fanned the bush fires into activity, and the' town and district was enveloped in thick «moke. Settlers on the Kumoti block, near. Dannevirke, are having an anxious time, and unless the wind drops, extensive damage is probable. The residence of a settler named Young has been destroyed. Mr. Rasmueeen's homestead i« reported to have been burned, and. other .settlers are ■fighting-hard to save their places. The fires are still raging, but ram is threatening.
