EAST SAGINAW, Mich, Sept. T.
Reports of the ravages of the fire
continue to come in. Along the
Saginaw valley and st. Louis rail-
road FL miles were burned over on
to the sides of the track and 80 or
40 buildings were burned, includ-
ing household goods, grain and
stock. In Tuscola county the dam.
age amounts to $50, 1000, and the
fires are still sweeping over a large
area. Owing to the excitement it
is difficult to arrive at the losses in
this county east Of this city. Great
damage has been done, hundreds
of acres having been burned over
and many buildings burned. The
village of Clio narrowly escaped
destruction aud is not yet out of
danger. An Indian settlement,
seven miles below this city. is sur
rounded by fire and will probably
be wiped out before tomorrow
night. Hundreds OF farms are
alredy reduced to a blackened des.
ert. Stock, crops, fences, all farm
buildings are swept away and there
ia absolutely nothing left. Several
lives were lost. Men, women and
children were overtaken by flames
and sufocated by the stifllng heat.
II Is feared that, when full account
are received, the losses may prove
terrible. The little hamlets of An
derson, ,Richmondville and Charles
ton, in Sanilso county, are all re-
ported wiped out, while Port Hope,
Vernona Mills and Badox, in Hu.
ron county, are reported wholly or
partly burned up. People are

ron from the interior OF these coun-
ties as their only refuge from the
hames. They are sometimes over
taken by the spreading fires. Not
less than 20 deaths are reported,
but hopes are entertained that
some OF these statements may
prove incorrect. In Tuscola county
and the next tier of counties back
from Lake Huron and south Of
Saginaw, fires are also raging but
not with 50 great severity. Still,
the losoes here are simply over
shadowed by the more terrible
state of things in adjoining coun-
ties. The same state of facts is
true in Capier county next south
OF Tuscola county. The whole
country around Saginaw and Bay
City is also ablazs from the marsh

losses to farmers are beginning to
