BRUSH FIRE ON MASSIE ESTATE MAGNET FOR CROWD TUESDAY. Scores of Bessemerites were at- tracted Tuesday night by what ap- peared to be a forest fire on the Mas- sie estate, west of Lead street and on the county road. The burning grass and dry brush covered a large tract of land and could be seen for miles a- round. Mr. Massie had several men at work getting rid of the dry grass and brush by the fire route Tuesday night.

While the flames were at their high- est, the fire department appeared on the scene to prevent any undue spread of the fire but their assis- tance was not necessary as Mr. Mas- sie's men had the situation well in control. Many farmers in Bessemer town- ship are getting rid of dry grass, brush and stumps by the fire route and it has been a common thing this week to see the surrounding country- side shrouded in a haze of smoke.
