SAN PEDRO, Sept. 2.-Robert Ashworth
stabbed and killed Manuel Griffin Wat
son on Saturday night. Both men were
ranchers. Watson was 80 years of age,
and wealthy man, and both were drink
ing men. After the killing Ashworth

ing load of wood along the road, Wat
son, riding horseback. came up from be-
hind. Watson talked fiercely and threat
ened to lasso him and drag him to death.
Watson climed up ON the wagon and
struck Ashworth on the left temple with
some hard instrument. In defense of
himself, Ashworth drew from under his
seat knife and stabbed Watson near the
heart. Watson fell from the wagon, and
be drove on. He AYERS he did him no
further violence. Watson's body was
found with the teeth knock ed in and the
head and face crushed. Ashworth said
he was at loss to know how this was

DETAILS OF THE CATASTROPHE.
Hundreds of People Meet Death While

Hundreds of People Meet Death While
Trying to Escape the Flames.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 2.-The town of Hinck-
ley, Minn., about half way between this
city and Duluth, has been blotted out by
fires, and the list of dead may reach one
thousand. 1t will certainly reach five
hundred, and the reports now indicate
the larger figure.
On the train to-day from there there
were one or two people who came
through the fires, and who have graphic
stories to relate of the scene. The train
from Duluth reached point mile and
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 hand
car and rode through the flames to Hinck-
ley, taking the north bound train this
side of there and returning to the city.
On their ride on the handcar they en-
countered twenty-five dead bodies.
Seventeen were discovered at Hinckley
during the morning, and others 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 afterward burned, it is more than
probable that great numbers perished.
The most conservative estimate of the
dead is 200.
The whole country around Hinckley is
on fire, and the fullest extent of the dis
aster can not be learned for day or two.
1t is feared several other towns have suf-
fered a like fate.
Milacca called for help yesterday after
noon, and the relief train from st. Cloud
was unable to get beyond Bridgeman.
Nothing further has yet been received
from Milacca, and how much may have
been the suffering cannot at this time be
stated. Bridgeman is apparently safe at
present, but the worst is feared.
The party who came from the fires
around Hinckley suffered severely from
burning. Their injuries, however, will
not prove fatal. They tell may stories of
what they saw. One woman tried to save
her five children. and was overtaken. by
the fierce flames and the whole family
perished close 10 the railroad track An
other case was where mother, herself in
flames, went through the flames to save
her child, her husband following her, but
as they broke through the walls of fire
the possession of their children secured
them naught, for they were cut off from
retreat.
The little town of Mission Creek. north
of here, is reported III ashes. Special
trains were sent out, both from Duluth,
equipped with medical forces, and all that
is DossibIe will he done.
A private dispatch received this even
ing from the burned district states posi-
lively that already $50 dead bodies have
been recovered, so that the estimate made
above may be considered as decidedly
conservative.
The losses in the neighborhood of st.
Cloud, which is on the western edge of
the fires, are estimated at 100000, and
from that point east and north nearly
everything is burning. The fires are
raging in Baker County, where many
farmhouses and much grain has been
lost.
