They Have About burned Ont and
the People Are Feeling Greatly
Relieved.
Toughs Caught Kindling Fires But
In the Confusion They
Escaped.
Some Early Statements Exaggerated
But the Money Loss Is Heavier
Than Supposed.

DULUTH, Minr., June 21.-A special
to The Herald from it's correspondent
on the iron range says: The forest fires
which have been raging in this vicinity
for the past several days have about
burned out. and everyone is greatly re-
lieved. The Englishman who objected
to the United States because 1t had no
great ruins, should visit the site Of the
bate town OF Virginia. He'd see ruins
calculated to satisfy the most exacting
Cockney that ever crossed the briny
deep.
The scene Is one most appalling and
never to be forgotten. With the excep-
tion of the few buildings at the end Of
Maple street and chance residence
here and there to the south and south
west, all is bare, blackened waste, with
occasional piles of smoking debris
marking the site of some late business
house.
Toughs and Citizens Fight.
One almost incredible thing in con-
nection with the catastrophe was that
two or three fellows were caught
kindling fires in several of the houses.
The object was evidently robbery,
and in the confusion all escaped. Cap
ture would have been followed with
lynching. The tough element of the
town have been making things very un-
comfortable for the homeless fire suffer
ers. The citizens and roughs had quite
a severe encounter. and Sheriff Sharver
Of Duluth has been telegraphed for pro-
faction

the amount of placer gold now being
