Sixteen men went out yesterday In
search Of bodies ana found ovef. d
dozen. These were buried where they
were found. This policy ID to be
adopted throughout, owing 70 the con.
aition OF the bodies and the sanitary
necessities Of the case. For days to
come remains will be found every

The interest has not vanished, BY
any means. There are the sights to.
he seen and there are the possibilities
Of recurrence of the fire. The frst
attracts innumernble slghtseers from
either end of the line, and the latter
keep every resident on the qul vive for
Developments. Every trim that the
st. Paul & Duluth sends out from
either point b loaded to the guards,
and swar1ns Of curiosity seekers pe0-
pie the points OF interest. Their inter-
cst begins to awaken when they pass
Snake river and the black patches ap-
pear. Then come the sWaying tele-;
graph poles, which have been burned
0ff close to the ground and swing In tho
breeze suspended from other poles
which were left standing. Then the
fences, the posts hanging here aud
there In the same manner. Finally
the tangie Of cnrb0nixed logs begins
and the spectators wonder at the ex-
tent Of the fire, and the manner In
which the trees were leveled frpm the
same direction. ss-9
Prairie chickens, partridge and quail
nre occasionally seen to rise from the
tense wires above lofty patch Of
green and circle uncertainty about, as
II they feel the effects Of the desolati0n,
and do not know which way to turn.
TO the north there Is always the smoke,

always flames.
1t Is not idle to say TINT the danger
ts not over. A gale would fan the en-
hers into destroying wall of flame,
and the scenes of Saturday would be
repeated. There Is enough latent fire
there to duplicate NIL the horrors Of
TINT dreadful visitation. Barnum was
In serious danger last night The fires
surrounded the town when II. A. Tut.
tie, Of the North American Telegraph
company, passed through the place,
aud the wind was blowing In TINT d.
rectlOn, tanning the flames and In
screasing the danger to such an extent
that many Of the people took ad-
vantage Of their opportunity and
boarded the first train out Of town,
While the wind changed md the
danger was momentarily averted the
place Is still in danger, and win be I'M

entirely and reduce the possibilities Of

All night long pail Of smoke over
