MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Sept. 10.-A
Duluth special to the Tribune saws that
the operator at Maptowa yesterday
afternoon reported fire all around him
and choking smoke. At Sturgeon Lake
and Moose Lake, fires also caused I'm
easiness to residents there, but no posi-.
tive reports of disaster had been received
up to a late hour last night.

Duluth at 10 o'clock last night, three
hours late. Passengers reported much
fire all along the line outside the dis
tricts swept week ago.
A Pine City special says danger from
fire in that city has not yet passed.
Yesterday afternoon the strong wind
stirred up great fire just north of the
town, but the wind subsidized at night
and the danger is at least temporarily
over.

frightened that they boarded freight
train standing on the tracks, so as to be
ready for departure, but the danger
passed when the wind subsidized.
VILLAGE NEARLY DESTROYED.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, Sept. 10.-A
special from Massillon, Ohio, says the
little village of Dalton, located nine
miles north of here was almost totally
destroyed by fire early this morning,
The fire originated in stable and
while the direct cause of its origin is
unknown, it is presumed that it was
prompted by tramps taking quarters
there for the night. The entire loss is
estimated at 5000, 1000, the heaviest losers
being the Royal Insurance Co.
The postoffice and its entire contents
was included in the flames.
Canton, Massillon and Orrville fire
departments were hastily summoned
and responded, but their presence was
of no avail, as sufficient water could not
be procured to do any good. The citi-
zens are frantic with grief over the loss
of their business blocks and residences,
and homeless women and children ale
seen on every corner crying bitterly.
