FOREST FIRES RAGING.
Several Massachusetts Villages Are in
Great Danger of Total
DeSfrUcfiOn

SANDWICH, MASS. April 16.-The for
est fire is still raging fercely all around
the town and is gaining great headway in
spite OF the efforts of the large force of
lighters who are making heroic efforts to
check it.
Forestdale, one of the villages of Sand
wich, was this morning entirely sur
rounded by fire. Judging from the direc-
ton the fire is taking at present several of
the houses in the village of East Sandwich
may receive scorching at least.
At the other end of the fire in the west
ern part of the town the flames have ap-
preached to within a few miles of the
boundary lines, and are making very rapid
progress. 1t is mere guesswork to try to
form any idea as to when the fire will be
checked. 1t is spreading in every direc-
ton. Old men who have lived here all
their lives say they never saw such con-
fagration before, and the loss of woodland
will be greater by far than ever before.
Word was received this afternoon that
the summer residence of DIR. Wesselhoeft.
in Sandwich, has been burned. The resi-,
dence of James Lowell also caught fire. but
the flames were extinguished
