Death by Flames.

Forest fires have been raging with
terrible results in Michigan for sew
eral days, though the worst is now
thought TO be over. Villages, houses,
crops and everything was swept
away. Whole settlements and entire
families were devoured. AT least
800 lives have beeu lost. The follow
ing villages have been totally des-
troyed: Bad AK, Verona, Forest
Bay, Richmondville, Charleston,
Anderson, Deckersvile, Harrisville
and Sandusky. Port Hope, Minden,
and Ubley were partly burned. Tho
people in the burning districts sought
safety in wells, cisterns and ponds
and a few were saved in that way,
but live stock, fences, houses, crops
and everything of the kind were des-
troyed IN several entire counties
Hundreds ofpeople are homeless and
suffering for food and clothing.
Money is being raised to help the
suffering people.

Another Train Robbed.

II has only been few weeks since
the country was startled by the an-
nouncement of the robbery of train
at Winston, Mo-, and the murder Of
the conductor and passenger, The
robbers have never been caught but
the crime was as usual laid at the
door of the Frank and Jesse James
gang.
another robbery of the same kind
took place On, the Chicago s. Alton
road, four miles east of Independence,
Mo-, at 9 o'clock P. NJ. Sept. 7th. The
train was stopped in dense wood, by
a red light and distractions on the
track, and was Immediately boarded
by dozen mashed men who pro-
ceeded to relieve the passengers of
all their surplus cash and also what
ever jewelry they had about them
They kept up firing Of pistols TO in
timidate them during the whole tin
they were on the train. They next
went to the express car. Messenger
Fox resisted and refused TO let them
in but they broke in and beat him SO
severely that he is in critical condi-
ton. They then helped themselves
to all the.cash OH board, after which
they disappeared in the woods. The
whole affair took less than fifteen
minutes. They got about $4,000 in
money and other vauablcs. One
passenger lost $3.50. They took ear
rings out Of the ears of the ladies,
making them hold up their hands
while they were being robbed. 1t
was no doubt the James gang, as
usual. Gov. Cri,ienden has called
upon the people TO rise en-masse and
exterminate the robbers.
Several suspected parties in the
vicinity have been arrested. II is be-
lieyed that all except the leaders
lived in the neighborhood of the rob-
berry. The men arrested were beav-
lily armed and are desperate charac-
ters.

of eleven men. Capt. L. g. Hentig

The work OF putting in the tele-

for the telephone system We nave
been promised some time past, and to
which there are alrt ady = great many

the work before it is commenced.
The delay is caused by those who are

great difficulty attending the getting
out of poles during the winter s"aaon.

Relief Committee Work.

The Alta Relief Committee have col
lected. in all, about $500. and yester
day they commenced to disburse 9
portion OF the funds. The action o
our citizens in coming to the assist
ance OF these homeless people speak;
well for the good hearts of the Sail
Lakers. In nearly every instance, &c
soon as the matter was mentioned by
the committee, the party addressed
handed over Whatever amount he felt
able to contribute.
There never was an occurrence
which seemed TO take more thor
oughly bold OF the sympathies OF the
people, and no one seemed to think
OF asking to be excused. People
whose needs were "a urgent as those
OF the Alta sufferers themselves, pro-
posed to give this. that or the other
srticle. which in some cases was
positively refused, because the COM
mlttee knew that the sacrifice ought
not to be made. Such generosity
should be recorded, but OF course, it
Is unnecessary to give names. The
committee is doing the best to give
satisfaction to all parties concerned,
but it is already very clearly manifest
that such thing is impossible. 1t is
the Intention OF the gentlemen having
tie matter in charge that DO deserv-
ing person shall be neglected, if their
true situation can be ascertained.
General John E. Smith, through
AdiutAnt w. w. McCammon, OF the
Fourteenth Infantry, has generously
placed the magnificent band OF the
regiment at the disposal OF the com
mittee, for the purpose of giving ecLat
TO the dramatic entertainment to be
given by the Home Dramatic Club.

who have claims upon them to come
without delay.

Buried.

A few days ago we announced the
finding OF the bones Of a young man
named Jensen, near Grsntsville, who
had mysteriously disappeared about
fourteen months ago and was then
supposed to haze met with foul play.
His remains we're discovered by q
dog. and had been buried with but
a light covering OF earth. He was
recognized by his clothes, the flesh
all having decomposed from the
comes, and by peculiar belt he wore,
which was particular Identification.
The remains we're buried at
GrantsVille on Saturday, q brother
in law of the deceased having gone
from Frisco to attend to them. The
county authorities are working up the
case. aud the opinion seems very gen.
ersl that man named Middlecomb,
IN the Penitentisry for cattle stealing
is either himself the assassin or was
in bringing about the
young mans death. The reason given
for the suspicion Is founded in the
belief that Jensen knew something
about Middlecomb's cattle stealing,
and fearing he might appear sgsinst
him, Middlecomb assasslnsted Jen-
SOD to prevent such an occurrence.
1t is undoubtedly case of murder,
as the ball went in the hack Of the
head; and just before burying the
skull, the other day, the bullet fell out,
it having been there ever since the
