ST. PAUL, Sept. 2.-The town OF
Hinckley, Mimi, about hall way be-
tween this city and Duluth, has been
wiped out by forest fires, and the list OF
dead may reach 1000. It will certainly
exceed 200, and tho reports now being
received would indicate that the larger
figure would not be too great.
GAUNTLET OF FIRE.
On the train today from there were
enc or two people who came through
the fires, and who have graphic stories
to relate of the scene. The train from
Duluth touched a point mile and q
half north of Hinckley some time after
midnight, and was forced to return to
point FIVE miles away, ON account of the
threatening flames. Half dozen OF the
passengers, however, secured a hanccar
and rode through the flames to Hinck-
ley, taking the north bound train this
side OF there and returning on ii to this
city On their ride on the handcar
they encountered two mangled bodies
along the line of the railroad. Seven
teen were discovered at Hinckley during
the morning, and 81 have been found
up to l O'Clock. They say the people Of
Hinckley ran to the woods when their
houses caught fire. and as the timber
afterw ards burned it IL more than prob
able that great numbers persisted. The
most conservative estimate OF the dead
is 200.

The whole country around Hinckley

accepted by nearly all such banks,
and that the Huntington attorneys
are by an agreement with his attorneys,
remaining passive to give him an oppor-

wrote that he took no money, books or
