ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 2-Sixtowns COM
nletely destroyed and more than 500 dead is
the present record made by the forest fires
in this state in the past twenty-four hours.
In Hinckley, Sandstone, Pokegama
Skunk Lake and Mission Creek there are
355 known dead. The destruction was com
nlete in most of the towns named and the
loss of life will not be known definitely for
several days. The fire first struck Hinekley
on the east side Of the Duluth track, and
for the first time the brave fire fighters gave
up the unequal battle and turned their at
tention to their personal safety. There
were many families of five, six and seven,
and there they lay, the men generally
little in advance, and the mother surrounded
by her little ones. The situation at Sand
stone is even more appalling than at Hinck-
lew Of the 200 residents onefourth are
dead. In addition to the forty five bodies
at Sandstone there are twenty at Kettle
River Junction. All the settlers In the
vicinity are probably burned to death.
When about two miles north OF Hinckley
the engineer James Root first discovered
the fires, which had been raging on both
sides of the track, were racing him for his
life and the lives of his passengers The
smoke was 90 dense that it was impossible
to see beyond the cab windows even with the
powerful headlight. He thought he could
outrun the flames but discovered that they
were too fast for him and overlook the train
and covered the train with flames. The
clothes of the engineer and fireman caught
fire. Fireman MCGOWAN leaped into the
water tank, and seizing bucket, dashed
water several times over the burning engi
neer, Several of the male passengers leape'
headlong through broken windows and I'm
mediately dozen more followed only t
meet death in the flames. Engineer Roc
decided to turn back over the five miles
burned territory rather than encounte
possibly greater perils before them II
backed at fast speed to Skunk lake. III
passengers deserted the train here and toe
refuge In the swamp, where they spent tt
night Engineer Root lies at his home, t.
badly injured to be interviewed.
