CUT THE TIMBER,
Suggestion for the Relief of the
Fire Sufferers.

Suggestion for the Relief of the
Fire Sufferers.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE commits
sioner of the general land Office, in his
annual report to the secretary of the
interior, makes several suggestions
for the benefit Of the sufferers by for
est fires in Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. He says: "The timber
affected by these fires on public lands
has been left in such condition that
If not cut in short time, it will be-
come worm-eaten and worthless, thus
depriving the land of the greater por-
tion of it's value to the settler seeking
title thereto. Numerous applications
have been made by the sufferers by
these fires for permission to cut the
timber at once and sell it,"
He, therefore, recommends that con-
gress be asked to give the permission
necessary to allow the cutting of this
timber and thus prevent the total loss
of millions of feet. He also suggests
that congress take other steps neces-
sary for the relief of the fire sufferers,
following the precedent set in similar
cases.

COAST PIRATES OF OLD DAYS.
A Strange Race of People Scattered
Along the New jersey SeabOard.

1t is a strange race of people that
for the last POO years has inhabited the
sandy tracts which intervene all up
and down the coast between the Jersey
pines and the sands where the sea
beats. Those folks were wreckers in
the old times says the New York Mail
and Express, and did enough petty
farming ON the sickly soil there to fur
nIsh them with few necasslrlcS. But
the large majority of them watched the
ocean. to see what it might bring them.

...or., statement Contained In
p.ner I'm q Law suit Begun An
~. Henncpin County District
Court.

WHINE apolis, Oct. IA raler was
a,od IN the district court to-day which
contains a rather startling statement.
II il nothing more or less than that
the fire which proved SO disastrous In
Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin,
sent /, including the destruction of
Hinckley, was set by an employe of
tho firm of Laird & Boyle, who owned
a saw mill at Mission Creek.
The paper is al answer in a suit
hronght by the person mentioned
AGAINST Wisdom & Cannon, who also
own o mill at Pine City, and with
whom there were negotiations pending
for an exchange Of properties, the de-
PENDANTS to put in a note for $500
and make some other concessions. The
answer alleges that the negotiations
were not completed at the time of the
fire which destroyed the plaintiffs
mill, but says that If the court should
find that they were completed, then
the plaintiffs ought not to recover the
amount sued for, since the mill was
burned Sept. 1, 1894, by fire (which
was set and kindled by the plaintiffs,
their servants and employees, that 1t
occurred wholly and solely by reason
Of the carelessness and negligence of
the plaintiffs and their employees, and
that the fire so set and kind'ed was
the same fire which thereafter and on
the same day destroyed the village of
Hiuckley and q large amount of tim
Der. as the defendant verify believes. /"
The charge that is made in this
answer is substantiated by witness
to whom one of the plaintiffs is said
to have remarked that one of their
men had set fire to some stumpage
that morning, and that he didn't know
what the id fool meant, for the
wind was very strong that day, and
he would burn them all up. 1t is said
that all of these facts will come out
on the trial of the case, and that there
is no doubt as to the veracity of the
witness.
So far as is indicated in the paper,
there is no charge that the fire was
wi]fuily or maliciously set, but TINT t
was simply the result of poor piece
of Judgment on the part Of the Laird
& Boyle employee, who, regardless of
the fact that it was very windy day,
and that the country was as dry as
finder, proceeded to set the fire to
clear out q few stumps.
The answer in which the above
charges are made was filed by Fuller
& Taylor.
