Pine Guy. and while mourning his wife
as lost. devoted himself 70 the practical
necessity of his occupation and the care
OF the two little ones spared to him
Today he learned that his wife was In
Duluth. With the JOY that this news
brings is the grief OF his little son. He
knows he Is gone, and the uncertainty
that surrounds the fate of the two chill
dren who were with his wife, for no
word comes OF them. This Is but one OF
scores OF other cases that might be
cited where reunions have taken place
between members of families ana
friends who have each supposed the
other dead, and that respect is only
notable from the duration OF sepafn-
ton, but Dan Donohue can hardly be
convinced that his wife has not re-
turned from the grave.

number OF dead which have been or
will be brought into Hinckley, ana
which has been heretofore conservative
liz estimated at about 900 will pass that
! figure. The number OF bodies now ac-
counted for reaches about that total,

number OF bodies may be found. II

brennan lumber company, and It's

of sawed lumber. A number OF per

alleys between the piles OF burning
lumber. There Is absolutely no basis
