Il is q remarkable coineidauce that eli
Of these terrible fires il Northern Wis
consin have occurred July 27. II was on
July II, 1882 that Iron River, in the ex-
treme northern part Of Wisconsin, was
totally wiped ont by the farnee, ana nll
the state responded promptly to the cali
for. aid. Fifeld, another saw mill town,
was almost totally wiped out by fire July
27, 1853, snd now comes the total de-
struction of Phillips on Friday, july ~,
1894, Two more bodies have been recov~
cred from the river where the terrible
holocaust occurred. Those OF james
Locke aud one OF his children. The boat
house on which the desperate men,
women and children took refuge was
showed from the shore, and before it had
gone far the suction of the flames drew
it right up into a regular furnace of fire.
The boats were either overturned Or the
people jumped cut, 1t is now estimated
that Is lives were lost at this place. 1t
is supposed that the bodies of several
children are buried under the ruins of
the wagon and foot bridge, which, it is
claimed, gave way while they were en-.
deayoripg to escape from the flames to
the peninsula which runs out into ths
lake, approaching closely the location Of
the John E. Davis Lumber Company'a
plant. Mrs. Glass. vino was picked np
after clinging to an overturned boat for
an hour, is doing nicely and it is thou ht
she will recover. The list Of tha larger
losses is approximately as follows: John
f. Davis Lumber Company, $500,000;i
Fayette Shaw Tannery Company, $3.50,
600; Wisconsin Central Railway Com
pany, $4,000; Jump River Lumber Con1-
pany. $4,000; city and coun y property,

tic Railway Company, $4,000; f. l..
Hunt, $4,000; O.. c. Kelleher, $4,000;
Jacob Rasmussen, $4,000; Giles House,

list Of dead recovered from the river up
to date is as follows: Mrs. Dave

The attempt OF David Wintou to dis
oar Joe Kirby, prominent attorney at
Sioux Falls, will prove futile. Judge
Jones refused to sign an order recently
citing Mr.. Kirby to show cause why he
should not be disbarred ON tie affidavit
OF Mr.. Winton, but said he would do ao
il petition signed by q number Of rep-
utable attorneys there be presented to
him asking that he sign such an order.
Winton charges unprofessional conduct.
He may apply to the supreme court for
the desired order, as that is the only re-
course he will have, failing to get attor-
neys to Sign q petition as mentioned.
Winton is incensed toward Kirby be-
cause the latter had. him placed il ijail
sometime ago for refusing e pay costs IN /.
an action brought BY Winton and also
lost by him. Winton sued for s10, COO
