that she was IS. Leggett, who is a
travelling painter, is said to be vii.

residing in this city do not know him.
The girls father did not learn of her
marriage until Monday, when he went
to Westfeld, and tossing her into his
wagon, took her to his farm, on the
mountain back of the town. When
Leggett heard Of the forcible manner in
which his wife had been taken away he
gathered his goods together and fed.

DETROIT, MIcH., July 13.-Returns
received from the upper part Of tic
southern peninsula show that in Grand
Traverse county the villages ofThomp-
sonville and Wullin have been entirely
destroyed by forest fires. In the latter
place 1000, 900 fee. of prepared lumber
was destroyed and every store ind house
in the town burned.
From Thompsonville comes the news
that the forest fires burned tho town
Friday morning. A child was burned 10
death there.
In Benzie county the situation Is even
worse, it is feared. AT last account the
flames were rapidly approaching
Mechanic City. All telographlc com.
munication with the upper part Of the
lower peninsula was cut off and no
word has been received from there for
10 hours.
From private advices received over
the Michigan Central wireslit is learned
that there are extensive fires in Charlie
roi, Cheboygan and Athena counties,
and it is supposed that many Of the
small hamlets away from the line OF the
railway have been wiped out.
Everything in this county is as dry as
finder and the flames spread with won-
derful rapidity. 1t is feared that there
will be widespread distress and much
loss of life in the isolated villages in The
woods.
