Lowman was given 18 months on the roads in criminal court, and gave notice of appeal before the judgment of Judge O. L. Hor ton. In default of $2,000 bond he remained in jail after his trial. County Warden A. D. Williams estimated 1,000 man-hours of fire fighting were necessary to bring under control the blaze that orig inated about 10 o'clock Friday night. Approximately 500 acres in the mountain area were burn ed by the blaze. The fire was the third to orig inate in that section of Icard township in recent weeks, Wil liams said. Just a week before, a blaze first sighted around 6 p. m. kept fire-fighters at work until three o'clock the following after noon. A slight rainfall aided mater ially in curbing the spread of the blaze and cut short the 60-hour blaze which was confined to wood lands, without damaging any res idences. Work of owners who as sisted the forestry crews prevented the fire from reaching any homes in the neighborhood, the warden stated. Forestry officials charged Lew man with deliberately setting the woods afire, he added. Besides this fire a number of other forest fires were visible to the naked eye on the mountains Sunday night.
