DISASTROUS FOREST FIRES.
FLAMES WORKING DESTRUCTION In
NORTHERN. WISCONSIN.
1t Is Estimated That the Loss Will
Reach $5,OOO.OOO and VIII Reach a
Larger Figure Unless Rain Comes
SOOn-RepOrts of the Loss.

MARSHFIELD, Wis, Sept. 15.-Never
since the fire of 1881 have such terrible
forest fires burned in this state as have
ragged through northern Wisconsin dur
ing the past few days. The extent of
the damage cannot be estimated owing
TO the fact that the fires have cut off
telegraphie communication with most of
the smaller towns. On timber, the
losses are, Of course, the heaviest and
Frank McAIinin of the McMillin lumber
company in an Interview today said the
loss to Wisconsin by recent fires would
amount to between five and six mill
ion dollars This represents a vast
amount of pine as well as hard wood
timber, covering land area which even
those most familiar with the forests of
Wisconsin cannot estimate In fact, 1T
is scarcely an. eXaggeration that all Of
northern Wisconsin is one smoldering
furnace, so complete is the line of fires
which are ravaging the forests between
here and Lake Superior. Where they
will end no one can say, but unless
there is rain in northern Wisconsin
within the next forty-eight hours even
greater disasters than have already Oc-
CURED may be expected from the fires

The start from Orlando.

ORLANDO, Ok, T., Sept. 16-Twenty-
FIVE thousand men and women with a
goodly number of boys and girls started
in the race into the strip at the sound
of carbines held by cavalrymen sharp
at noon today. Hundreds went in on
trains which were jammed. but the
grand rush was by horse and wagons.
Among those who were witnesses to the
run were Governor Renfrow OF Okla
homa, A. p. Swineford. inspector of the
general land office; Judge Lowe, the new
secretary of the territory. Thousands
of people, despairing of making sue
cessful race in the great jam Of people
at Arkansas City, came to this place
yesterday and last night and the total
number which invaded the strip from
here must have been in the neighbor-
hood of 25,000 The boomers on horse
and afoot got off without delay or seri-
Gus accident. The Santa Fe's special
trains got an almost even start with
the horsemen and pedestrians. Five
thousand made the trip by rail. Whar-
ton and Perry were the favored town
sites sought by the boomers and to-
night each has population Of over
five thousand souls.
Following the excursion trains, freight
trains hauled great quantities of house
hold goods, wagons and lumber to the
new towns. Temporary residences and
shops were made of tents, but the can
vas houses will soon give way to
wooden structures. In the meantime,
grocery stores, meat markets, restaur-
ants and saloons have been established
in tents and the towns are already
beginning TO take on the appearance
of municipalities.
Estimated Population of 100000.
Judge Womack, special agent of the
land Office, has advices showing the
number Of people who made the run
into the Cherokee strip far exceeded
all expectations. The land Office had
counted on $4,000 people to make the
run. Fully one hundred thousand start
. ed in the race. and estimating the fami-
lies Of the married men at one to each
certificate bearer, the Cherokee strip
tonight has a population OF 200, 900. This
low estimate is made for thousands of
the boomers were young, unmarried
men; hundreds were unmarried women,
and still other hundreds were old single
men or women. The advices TO Judge
Womack show the racers were divided
about as follows along the border towns:
Arkansas City, 10000; Orlando. $4,000;
Caldwell, $4,000 Hennessy, $1,000; Still
water, 10000; Kiowa, 5000; Hunnewell,
1900; other points 1000

taken without his knowledge Several
detectives are now on the ground and
nearly one hundred deputy sheriffs are
securing the country. Most of them are
patrolling the shores of Lake Superior to
prevent the robbers leaving the peninsula
by boat. one Of the officers learns that
yesterday afternoon a small sloop-rigged
boat was seen out on the great lake max
ing north, having evidently left the shore
about five miles west of Calumet. A ter
rible sea was rolling and the theory is
that under ordinary circumstances no one
would venture in such storm with so
small a boat, therefore II is feared the
robbers have already evaded their pursu-
ers.

THE RUSH FOR HOMES.
Four Persons Found Dead, One of
Them Madeline Granger.

AuCnu 1ANuNhAhC ONhhsCNs
Throngs of people made their way TO
the Santa Fe yard, where freight trains
of ten cars each stood ready to pull out
to the border. there to wait until the
signal TO go had been given. At each
door stood deputy United States mar
shall with carbine presented to demand
registration certificates. When all the
cars had been filled the first train, to
which was attached General Manager
Frey's private cars, with members of the
press, pulled out slowly and stopped
within a foot Of the Cherokee strip. The
other sections followed closely behind.
The crush to get on the trains was aw-
full. After the cars were full people
climbed to the roofs and soon covered
them. They chung to the steps, invaded
the engine, and even crawled upon the
trucks. inside the cars the jam was
frightful, the people were crushed I'm and
the pressure at the doors could not be
stopped. The efforts of the deputy mar
shals did not avail much after the first
few had shown their certificates. The
trains left hundreds Of disappointed peo-
pie who were unable to get a foothold.
At the edge Of the strip horde of people
were waiting to board the trains, but
there was no room for them.
The Santa Fe sold 5000 tickets for the
trains. most Of them for Kildare. Camped
alongside the track at the state line
were about two hundred men. They had
walked out to take the trains there this
morning. They had heard that the
trains would be loaded I'm town and not
complying with Secretary Hoke Smiths
regulation, would not unload. They
threatened 10 throw ties under the cars
unless the regulation was complied with.

Caught at Last.

The tables have ct last been turned
and Chris Evans and John Sontag,
the California outlaws, have boon
brought to bay. Sunday night they
attacked q posse Of oficera in the
foothills about twenty miles north
from Visalia, and Sontag was severely
il not mortally wounded and cap
tured. Evans, during the fight, was
seen to throw up both hands and fall
and it is thought he is badly wounded.
He made his escape, however, leaving
his guns and hat behind him, His
tracks show that he started toward
his house at Visalis which will be
closely watched night and day. Son
tag was found the morning after the
fight lying behind q bsystaek. There

and one on each side Of his nose. He
claimed that ne shot himself. When
found Sontag was covered with hay,
aud his beard was matted with blood
ana dirt. A reporter asked him IL he
had any word to send to his friends,
He replied: II have no friends at no
place." Sontag talks freely and says
the jig 10 up, and he does not care
for the future. He may possibly re-
cover from his wounds the doctor
thinks, though he Expresses no de-
