The relief trains came up on the Duluth
road from St. Paul at frequent intervals,
and at every station the people were ready
with supplies for the victims Of the fire
which were at once loaded in the cars and
brought to this city for distribution. The
appointment of a state commission by the
governor to look after the general relief
measures has met with general commenda-
ton. and the character Of the men gives
assurance that there will be the most thor

Thomas Dunn and a family of three
others were buried today. Thomas Dunn
was twenty-six years old. He was thu

because he remained at his post until the
station was on fire. 1t was his order upon

those who wanted to escape the flames.
He put his order through. The train re-
turned and carried away over thirty five
people from the fire. He then jumped from
window and started for the gravel pit
where so mary saved their lives.
Dunn was within five rods Of the gravel
pit when he fell. and he was unable to get

Thrilling Tales of Narrow Escape
From the Flames.

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, September A.
On the OntOnagon division of the Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul road reliable esti-
mates place the number of feet of pine
scorched at 200.OO0OOO. which will have to
be made into lumber at once or prove a
total loss. Trains are operated with great
difficulty and danger, the flames having at
tackled the roadbed and warped the rails.
The fires seem to be abated. Homestead
ers are arriving here constantly with thrill
ling tales of narrow escapes. having lost
everything but the clothing on their backs.
A fishing party brings evidence that many
or the fires are OF an incendiary nature
They found evidence of where fires had been
started in a fine tract of pine near the city
There Is a general superstition that they
were started by men for the purpose of Sc
curing work, showing that the pine would
have to be cut at once in order to save 1t
from total ruin. Many Of the best tracts of
pine In this section are owned by non-log-
ging capitalists, who have withdrawn
them from the market. and are holding
them as an investment realizing that pine
timber was increasing rapidly in value
Agents for these lands claim that the fires
are started for the purpose Of forcing the
pine into the market and increasing it's
value. Be this as 1t may. the fires mean the
employment Of many more hundreds of men
than was contemplated, and great increase
over the wages paid in the pineries last
summer.
woodsmen familiar with the territory
traversed by the fire estimate that in the
counties Anson Ontonagon and Pearson in
Michigan. and in Florence and Minette, in
Wisconsin. over 7OO,O0O.OUO feet of white
pine have been seorched. while not less
than 3OO,NO.OW pieces Of cedar have been
totally ruined. The loss to standing pine
will be about fifteen per cent If cut before
the worms commence operations.
