town of Engle, III Marathon county,
AT present aud all because of the
fires ard sudden rains. Early last
week the forests caught fire and the
flames advanced steadily for forty.
eight hours, despite tho fact that
every man and most of the women
turned out to fight fire. At last the
blaze was close on the outskirts of
the village and the inhabitants gave
up the battle in dispair. Mothers
took their babies from the cradle
and men loaded themselves with the
most valuable of their possessions,
and all were on their way TO seek
refuge ia the lake aud river, when
suddenly black clouds rolled up,
lightning flashed and for about
twenty minutes "a perfect doluge
descended, reducing the blazing
woods To- a charred mass aud quench-

Der close to the village. 1t was a
close call, and a delay of twenty
minutes in the coming of the rain
would have swept the village from
the face of the earth. That's why

Mr.. Brogley says that he will not
pretend to settle u question where
