GONE UP IN SMOKE.
Pennsylvania Awful Scene Of
Destruction. The Damage
Is Millions.

BRADFORD, Pa, June 4.-Elk
county has experienced a number of
forest fires, but those of Sunday and
yesterday surpass them all The fire
at Russell City last night was one that
drove terror to the hearts of the 800
people who inhabit the place.
At 10 o'clock a brisk west wind
sprang up and famed the burning
underbrush and hemlock timber into
one solid mass of fire. covering Il
stretch of three miles in width.
The people, who were about ex-
hausted from fighting the flames for
the past three days, were forced to flee
for their lives. The flames spread so
rapidly that the people had to leave
everything and run to the clearing two
miles distant to Highland Corners.
Women with children in their arms,
shrieking and bemoaning their fate
ran and stumbled as they fled from the
fire. Women fell exhausted and were
tramplei on, but reached high land in
safety. Nothing is left of the once
hustling little place The fire is still
burning fiercely among the oil wells.
The Northern Oil Company has 20 oil
wells and number of tanks burning
at this place now and there is no abate-
ment of the fury of the flames. 1t is
impossible To estimate the loss.
LIVES MAY HAVE BEEN LOST.
The woods leading to Clark's Mills
are one mass Of flames on both sides Of
the road, and how the people who live
along the road could have escaped is
beyond comprehension There is no
communication of any description with
this place, and no news is obtainable
from there, but there is no doubt of
everything having been burned in the
path of the fire, rs there was no pro-
lection of any kind.
Every available man is out fighting
fire, and there are not half enough.
There is fire in every direction, and
all efforts to check its progress seem
futile.
Coon Run, three miles from Russell
City, which was wiped out yesterday
afternoon, was entirely obliterated
from the face of the earth, and nothing
remains to show that there ever was
such place rs Coon Run. The place
consisted Of y buildings, a pump sta
ton, schoolhouse and sawmill.
Reports from Duke Centre state
that the entire valley is on fire and the
loss to oil and lumbermen will be
enormous. Kansas Branch, Rixtord,
Davis City, Summit City. Dallas City,
Oil Valley, Limestone, State Line,
Dcrricl; City and Red Rock are all in
it, and unless, rain falls soon there is
no telling what the result will he
The sky is black with smoke and the
mountains are invisible ON all sides
and the heat is intense.
The fire has reached the oil field al
West Branch, Il dense cloud of smoke
has burst forth. 1t is reported several
wells and tanks are on fire.
