Two fires are burning in Oak noun

of taking off most of the timber. There
is no telegraphic communication north

been received however, of extremely
disastrous fires in Lewis and Ulster

this section, with the exception of one
light shower, for many weeks and the
soil is exceedingly dry. Unless rain

Latest Estimates from Reports at
Duluth-Henvy Rain Now Failing.
Duluth, Mimi, Sept. AT 7;30 a. m.
the relief train returned with about
250 refugees, who tramped across the
country from Sandstone. At 1890 a
train consisting of three coaches, q
baggage car and two box cars went
out with large amount of provisions
for settlers in the vicinity of Rut-
ledge. At $3.50 the cheering news came
from Rutledge. which is as far as the
wire works, that rain was falling. All
the stations between here and Rut-
ledge report fires dying out and that
no further trouble need be feared, pro-
vided a strong wind does not spring
up. Only one life was lost at Baro-
nette on Saturday, but nothing was
left of the town. Some of the people
were taken to Cumberland, some to
Spooner Two hundred and sixty peo-
pie in Shell Lake are homeless, and
the dwellings burned number 81. 1t
is estimated that 700 people of Baro-
nette are homeless. On the line be-
tween Spooner and Bayfield, the Oma-
ha road suffered most severely. Four
or five bridges We're burned and all
wires are down. There is no chance of
sending any trains over it for several
days People at Grand Rapids, on the
Mississippi end of the Duluth & Win
nipeg road, We're ready to move out
last night, but the fires were checked.
During the night there was bad fire
at Comstock. a small settlement 20
miles south of Spooner
At late hour 1t was estimated that
between 800 and 1,500 people had been
burned to death or suIocated and the
wide discrepancy in these figures is
but proof of the utter imposslbility Of
getting reliable information.

freight cars. At Hinckley the gaunt
skeleton of the public shool alone re-
maned standing in the center of the

Minneapolis, Sept AT the present
writing 1t is impossible to make any
accurate estimate of the loss of life
from the forest fires that have been
raging in Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin for the past few days.
The latest news from Duluth, Mimi,
states that probably between 800 and
l,500 lives have been lost. This is prob
ably exaggerated. as estimates care
fully prepared from reports from the
different villages destroyed indicate
that the number will exceed 400, but
may not reach 500. From the
reports already received several towns
have been wiped completely out of ex-
iatance, and others known to be in
danger have yet to be heard from.
In the town of Hinckley, Mimi, it is
known that at least 200 persons per-
ished in the flames, and the list may
be swelled score larger,
1t will be at least a week before the
full and definite information of the
damage and loss of life from the
flames will be fully known.
