A Train With Three Hundred Passengers
 Not Heard From.
 Mora, Minn., Sept Zone hundred and forty-eight bodies have been taken out of Hinkley and placed in the vicin- ity. The nearby town of Pokegama is wiped out. The eastern Minnesota train which left St. Paul yesterday and arrived at Hinkley at 6 o'clock last night took three hundred people on board and moved westward toward St. Cloud. The train has not been heard of since. There is a general fear that it has been burned with all on board. There Is no chance that the passengers are alive unless they found a stream or slough into which they could go and escape the fire.
 Every family in Pokegama is home less and in danger of starving to death. A freight train is in the ditch one and half miles west of Pokegama. Twen- ty-five people are in the caboose and the fire is all around them. If they are not rescued soon all must perish.
 Hans Nelson, section foreman at Poke gama, started away with his family yesterday afternoon on hand car to escape the fire and nothing has since been heard from them. It is is certain they have perished.
