A DETAILED SEARCH.
Organized Parties Will Be Sen
Out to Find and Bury the Dead


Out to Find and Bury the Dead.
Special to the Globe.
HINCKLEY, Sept. A more sys.
tematic search for bodies in the woods
around Hinckley will begin Today. Par
ties OF cruisers arriv ed today from
saltwater and Duluth, and Will start
out tomorrow equipped for thorough
exploration Of the surrounding wood
land. They will have tents. provis-
ions and the necessary camp out1ts.
They will 90 in all directions
The bodies that may be found
will not be brought to Hinckley, but
will be buried where found and the
places marked. These parties are sent
out by the owners of lumber camps. 1t
is hardly probable that all the dead will
be found, as there are likely many
bodies In the swamps, where the people
would naturally go when the fire came
upon them. 1t is simply impossible to
search all of these, as it is worth
mans life to venture in them, and the
probabilities are that bodies have sunk
out of sight in the mire and quicksand.
Sightseers Galore.
The ruins are covered with thousands
OF sightseers during the day. Every
arriving train is crowded to the fullest
capacity. These are carrying away with
them mementOeS found on the sites
where houses stood. w. FL. Rendell, of
Minneapolis, secured Knight Templar
sword. E. II. Dearth picked up the lock
of double-barreled shot gun and some
case knives. DR.. Caine, of Saltwater,
found the back of ledger iu the ruins
of lhe Brennan Lumber company mill.
Others picked up remnants of sewing
machines. parts of watches and clocks
and rules and type from tn forms of the
late newspaper Office. aud tools from
what was a jewelry store.
Bishop McGolrick. of Duluth. arrived
here today to look over the situation
and report to the city what Is needed at
once. He returned on an evening tram.
He stated that 1.100 people from the
burned .out territory are being cared
for at Duluth and West Superior. Du.
luth has raised $3.50 in cash. and has
ready for shipment eight carloads of
lumber aud hardware to be used in
erecting buildings. The materials will
be shipped ready to be put up into
buildings as soon as the local commit
tee furnishes list of beneficiaries.
Members of the commission on fire
sufferers appointed by Gov. Nelson ar
rived today and looked over the ground
preparatory to reporting the facts at
the meeting tomorrow in the capitol.
Building Operations.
The question of rebuilding Hinckley
is being talked of here and at Pine
City. There is doubtin the minds of
many as to it ever reaching anything
like its former pro portions. The de-
structlon of timber standing around the
place will deter the lumbermen from
going into the business of manufacture
ing on the former large scale at Hinck-
ley and Mission Creek. The railroad
will carry on its operations.
Mr.. Miller has already ordered
lumber to he used in rebuilding depot.
Nelson Henry will rebuilt a hotel, and
probably anoth' will be started. The
question of rebuilding the school house
will depend upon the population. Some
lumbermen will erect houses for men
who will be needed to take care of tine
timber, which must be cut this winter.
owing to the damage by fire. If the
timber is not cut the coming winter it
will become worthless, and the opera
tiOnsthis season in that line will be more
heavy than formerly. The rebuilding
by them must be done at once to pro-
vide for the lumbermen before winter
sets in, as there will be new roads to be
cut before snow falls.
W hat Is Needed.
Great quantities of provisions and
clothing are arriving from the cities that
have organized relief COMMITTEES. The
greatest need at present is tea, coffee,
salt. pepper and such small articles.
Hay and feed for horses are also needed.
Those who eat at Hinckley now take
their vituals without salt, seasoning or
anything stronger to drink than roiley
water without Ice. There were thou.
sands of people here today, but they
came and went after short stay. The
hot ground, the smoke, the stencil and
the scenes of desolation satisfied them
in short time, and they came on one
train and were glad to get away OIL the
next, OF even on the same one after a
casual glance.
Probably a PrenOnitlOn.
A singular incident happened TODAY
which made deep impression, on VIII.
Rendell, OF Minneapolis. When walking
ont to the cemetery, and near the walls
OF the schoolhouse, he picked up
