the Relief Fund.

A. c. Hay, Drs. ID. W. Cowan and E.
s. Stephan. of Hinckley, are stopping
at the Hotel Ryan. They said that tine
work of rebuilding and resurrecting the
tire-stricken district is going on with
all possible rapidity. Fl. II. Hart. Sec
rotary of the state board OF charities
and relief. Is doing his utmost, and is
ably assisted by j. G. Howard. of
Duluth. There existed at first some
confusion. until the state board recog.
nized the local committee appointed by
the citizens of Hinckley, but now matters
are progressing with the best Of feeling
and harmony. When the proper time
arrives the people of Hlnckley intend
to recognize in some fitting manner the
heroism of Engineers Best and Berry
and the conductors of the Eastern Mn
neSOta railroad, who carried 4S0 souls
through to Duluth. DR.. Stephan was
On this train. and says he regards
Engineer Ed Berry as the hero of the
whole disaster
The towns of Mission Creek, Sand
stone and Pokegama are also showing
great enterprise in pushing the work
of rebuilding. There has been some
delay occasioned. however, by the ina
bility to get at once enough lumber.
1t is expected that the homeless will
he amply provided for before cold
weather sets in, and provisions to last
TWO or three months are now being fur
nished them. Those injured are well
OIL recovery. The first death since the
fire occurred Sunday, that of the child
of Joseph Tew, chairman of the local
town board.
Mr.Hay says some idea of the intense
heat can be formed when one is told
that the wheels of cars standing on the
transfer track melted down like wax.
Politics being incombustible the
Democratic county convention will be
held at Hinckley about Oct. s. and the
Republican convention Oil the 18th.
The excursion that went up Sunday
to the burnt district brought back as
relics everything from a knothole to a
base burner.
