pretty thoroughly. A few bodies We're taken
out last night and all the bodies were
picked up. A careful search revealed twen-
ty-eight. They were in terrible condition,
and could not be properly handled Five
children of the Greenfield family were so
badly burned that all were put in box
designed to contain an adult. The mother
and father were in Hinckley and were
saved, but their family and home is wiped
out of existence.
The Robertson family of five persons,
three of whom were adults and who were
reported yesterday, were brought in. Mrs.
John Mcnamara and her son, who were
refugees from Hinckley, and who made
their way further up the track than their
neighbors, were identified Near Mrs. Me-
Namara was a satchel containing 500 in
currency and 5000 in checks, which was
recovered yesterday. Not far away We're
the bodies of two unknown boys, pre-
sumably from Hinckley. In cellar half
a mile west of Skunk Lake bridge were
found bodies which were identified as
those of Mrs. Weslund and her two babies.
a Finnish woman named Sophie Wacki
and baby, Mrs. Weslund's sister, William
Nelson, Alfred Johnson and Mrs. Lind and
her five children. This number added to
the thirty-one brought in from Duluth
tracks on Sunday, and the body of Otto
Rowley, general freight and passenger
agent of the Duluth & Winnipeg railroad.
taken to his home at Merriam Park
last night, swells the total Of the loss of
life along this track from upwards of
sixty.
Another correspondent says: There is one
point where indefinite number of bodies
may be found. 1t is west Of the Duluth
bridge across Grindstone river and at the
northwest edge of the town, where there
was mill pond Of considerable depth and
probably 400 feet wide. On the bank near
est the town stood the plant of the Bren-
nan Lumber Company. and it's yard. with
about a half million feet OF sawed lumber.
A number of persons were seen making
their way to the water of the pond down
the alleys between the piles of burning
lumber. There is absolutely no basis for an
accurate approximation of how many there
were. One thing is certain, no one who
went Unto it ever came back to give an
account of himself or his companions. To
the intense heat Of the burning lumber and
the suffocating volume of smoke which it
alone furnished, was added that which went
up from the sawdust and selgings, through
which the fire ran TO the vsry waters edge
The water was deep, and those who were
there probably chose death by drowning
rather than suffocation or burning. The
pond is yet unapproachable. The sawdust
bank is still full of fire and as treacherous
as quicksand. The smoke is so dense that
not even a. sight of the pond can be had
from a point near the place where the bod
les are supposed to be, and it may, be some
days before an attempt at recovery can be
made.

LONG TONGUE OF FLAME.
Mr.. Patrick's Experience with the
Fire and a Black Bear.

Fire and n Black Bear.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 4.-John Patrick, whose
home was at Hinckley tells remarkable
story Grindstone lake, ten miles north
of Hinckley, has been the camping grounds
for several summers OF parties from Hinck-
lev. This year a larger number Of people
were camped there than usual and. con-
seouently. when fire was seen to be en-
croaching on Meals place. three-quarters
of a mile from one OF the camps, several
of the men started for the scene. John
Patrick and Messrs. Ellsworth and Collins
were among the number Four other men
were fighting the fire when they got there.
and it was supposed that they could get
IL under control. The relief party had
hardly reached the scene. however, when
they discovered flames shooting over the
tops OF timber back Of their own camp.
Patrick started back along the shore. while
the others got into small skiffs and pad
died faster than they ever had before,
hoping TO reach the camp before II was
overwhelmed When they were still some
distance away they saw the men rushing
into the lake and the camp implements
going skyward in flames ard smoke Pat

however. as he had not gone Tar before
tongue of fire darted across the lake, which

knocked him down as IL sped on its work

clothes were ignited, and for a time he
was dazed. When he recovered his senses

Several Towns burning and Others

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 4.-Dispatches from
various points in Wisconsin report destruc-
ton by forest fires. The little city Of
Thorpe on the Wisconsin Central is burn
ing Help was asked for from Chippewa
Falls, but could not be granted as the en-
gines from there were still at Rib Like,
from where news has come to-day. The
stave mills of Cirkell & Co.. at Thorpe,
also are burned, besides several mills and
dry kilns. 1t is not thought possible to
save the rest of the place.
The town of Kerrick is surrounded by
fire. but may be saved The women and
children have been sent to West Superior.
Pittsville is again threatened One house
was burned on the east side, and strong
Wind is tanning the flames. a late report
from Bruce states that the little village is

surrounding the place for several days.

creek, covering themselves with wet blan-

over them Blackburn's mill camp and
100000 feet of lumber burned yesterday.
There was no insurance. Mr.. Stickney, of
Stickney, Mcpherson & Stickney, stated
that the firm lost 100000 feet OF logs by
fire at Cartwright.

The correspondent says the Hinckley hor-
ror is increasing in it's magnitude. There
are now lying in the desolate cemetery,
under shallow covering of sand or in the
rude rough boxes which take the places of
caskets. 2i6 bodies. +. G. Webber, of Fine
City, who has had entire charge of the in
terment, has had his work well in hand.
and has kept most accurate accounts Of
the bodies. These figures are his, and in
clude those buried by friends. Four trench
es in all have been opened, separated by
abOus four feet. Commencing on the south
in the north trench are forty-five unlocked
corpses. In trench No. are twenty boxes,
many containing from two to five bodies.
This treI cl: is not yet closed. In the third
are twerty-seven boxes like the others. The
fourth trench is not yet in use, but there
are piled up nineteen boxes which will be
put in tomorrow.
The foreman of the construction train
reported to- Coroner Cowan this afternoon
that In the hill at the north end of the
bridge across the Grindstone were nine
bodies so completely incinerated that the
sex could not be distinguished. A few rods
west of where the Duluth depot stood was
found the body of woman. To this must
be added the few bodies shipped out, the
two buried by Hunts party and four in
TERED by another explorer, making the to-
tai of about 225 accounted for in Hinckley
and vicinity. A mass of estimates are be-
ing made, but there is no foundation for
them. There were undoubtedly settlers and
men in the lumber camps who have not
yet been discovered. A search for them will
be prosecuted with vigor and they will be
buried where they lie. There is an unknown
number of dead in the mill pond.
1t is as yet unapproximated. The
bank was covered with sawdust
and edgings, and not far away
was the Brennan mill and lumber yard. A
number of persons were seen to go to the
mill pond. No one came out alive, and
hardly a glimpse of the south bank, where
the people were, can be obtained, on ac-
count of the smoke still rolling up in dense
columns. IL may be a day or two before
this pool of death can be examined. 1t is
full Of logs and the work of recovery will
be a matter of a good deal of difficulty
unless the dam is cut and the water drawn
off, an expedient which may be adopted.
At Pokegama, or Brook Park, the dead
have been nearly all accounted for, and
will not run over twenty-five. At Miller
were buried twelve; at Sandstone, sixty
seven. These figures, with an estimate
showing those not yet found, bring the to-
tai up to 379. The latter estimate may
be too low, but it is matter of abso-
lutte conjecture and it is here that the
widely different totals are found. Some
think that at least two hundred settlers in
camps are vet to be found.
