CHECK DISMAL SWAMP FIRE
Several Hundred Men Killed on the Peninsula.
NUISVILLE, May 11. - Reports tonight from the Dismal Swamp region say that residents of the sections endangered have checked the fire's progress.  But that great danger will continue until there is rain. While light showers fell in Norfolk, there was no rain in the swamp district. Several hundred men are guarding the woodlands to the north of the swamp day and night to prevent the fire spreading into Norfolk County and doing damage on the truck farms.
NOT THEATER AFFECTIVE.
