HINCKLEY, Mimi, Sept. 24.-The
forests OF this region are on fire for
miles, and the struggle which the peo-
pie made to save the village to-day has
seldom been equalled for heroism.
When the wind went down last night II.
ID. Davis, vice president and manager of
the Brennan Lumber company. set all
of his men to the task of protecting the
mill, lumber yards and village from the
ravages of the fierce fire that was raging
to the west of us. Strong men labored
all night long cutting out a road
from the Grindstone river on the
north Of the village TO the
tracks of the Great Northern
railway on the south. A semi-circular
road two miles in length was hewn out
through the forest, brush and tamarack
swamps and then ploughed over during
the night Barrels filled with water
were placed at intervals fifty feet apart,
and by daybreak the back fires were
set. Not moment too soon was this
work completed. About noon to-day
the wind, which heretofore has been
blowing from the southeast, set in from
the west and the townspeople set out
from that quarter. In less than an
hour the village was wrapped in
The Densest Smoke,
and had 1t not been for the vigilant
watchers stationed in skirmish line on
the semi-circular road another hour
would have seen the village in ashes
and It's inhabitants homeless. All the
long afternoon they fearlessly fought
the encrOachipg flames, fought when
the smoke was so dense that one man
could not see another twenty feet away,
fought when the heat was so intense that
their hair was singed, keeping back the
all-devOuring flames that seemed to
hunger for the homes and hearthStones
of all. The fire company, though it has
been on duty since Sunday afternoon.
failed not in this emergency. The engine
was placed at the well on the western
edge of town, and tue boys, under the
command Of
Their 'Fireiess Chief,
Dave McLaren kept the water pouring
on the houses and fences for five hours.
The worst is over now, and the village
is saved. The forest from here to Sand
stone, nine miles northeast, are all Oh
fire. The Brennan Lumber company's
camp at Lake Grindstone, twelve
ives of here, was totally
destroyed to-day, as reported
by lumberman who came from there
tonight. Men started from here to the
camps west to-day, but had to turn back.
The remains of Dan Sullivan, who was
burned day before yesterday, were sent
to his home at Mora for interment Tom
Johnson, who lost his life at the same
time, was buried in the cemetery here
to-day.

FOOLS IN THEIR FOLLY.
Seekers of Indian Lands Tire of
Their Prize.

IneIP HflZe.
GUTHRIE, Sept. 24.-No other town in
the world Is like Chandler to-day, for
which all other towns may be glad. The
government site for the town of Chan
der is still inhabited only by few sol
diers and the surveyors, but the other
half of the quarter section just east of
Chandler has been mapped out into a
town site, the population of which
changes every minute.
The location of Chandler Is on high
bluff. The land which the surveyors
have been trying to survey into streets
and alleys is rougher than the high seas
in a storm. Great rocks as large
as a small house are scattered
about all over the town site
and deep gulies cut it into pieces.
With miles of level land all around, it
is difficult to understand why such a
rough piece of land was selected for the
town. The rival town on the adjoining
half of the quarter section is on level
ground. On Tuesday men rushed into
it and drove their stakes there as
anxious to secure fifty foot piece of
ground as though it was worth $1,000,
but when they got it they were not de-
lighted.
After sleeping out all night Tuesday,
tortured with hunger. thirst and most
ravenous specie of mosquitoes, humid
reds realized that they had had enough
and began to leave. One man yester-
day offered two lots in the Chandler
annex for a ham sandwich without
finding purchaser. The town is over
run with gamblers of every description.
There has been no trouble in keeping
the people OFT OF the site.

CRUSHED AND KILLED.
Nine Men Lose Their Lives by
BIunder.


NEWCASTLE. Pa, Sept. ga sterri-
bic wreck occurred on the Pittsburg e.
Western railroad at McKim's siding,
station short distance on the other
side of Zelienople, Butler county. At
this point work train with a force of
fifty men was engaged in putting down
new track. About 8 o'clock this morn
ing the work train got out of the wav of
freight train going west, but the crew
did not know that a second section of
the same train was following five min
utes later. The work train again pulled
out on the main track and the men were
engaged in throwing off dirt when the
second section struck them with great
force. Cars were piled up in a shape
less mass. The engines were a mass of
broken iron and wood, and the hot
steam and boiling water poured over
the unfortunate ones caught in the jam.
For moment after the collision there
was silence. Then the air was broken
by the shrieks of the dying, making the
scene so terrible that one OF the train
men, who had escaped injury, tainted
with horror. The trainmen and labor
ers who were not injured began at once
to assist those imprisoned in the debris.
Several arms and legs were found in
several different places, and the head of
an Italian was found twenty feet away
from the body. The engineer. John
Houghton, who had bravely done his
best to stop the engine attached to the
freight train, was found wedged in
broken and shapeless iron. By IL o'clock
the bodies of eight Italian laborers had
been taken from the wreck, and with
the killing of Engineer Houghton this
swells the number to nine. There were
at least twenty men injured. several of
whom cannot recover. All of the bodies
were terribly mangled and disfigured.
Engineer HOughton was the only
American killed. His home is in Allie
gheny. The names of the Italians
could not be learned.
