FOREST FIRE DESTROYS WYOMING SETTLEMENT

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 4 – The settlement of Cold Springs and neighboring mine buildings have been destroyed by a forest fire which is raging in thick timber in the War Bonnet district, 60 miles southwest of Douglas, Wyo., according to information received at the United States land office here.

Two crews of 60 men, led by Sheriff Albert Peyton, of Converse county, and Special Agent Kimbal, of the general land office, are fighting the flames, which threaten thousands of acres of government-owned timber.
