HURLEY THREATENED.
to Save the Town from
Destruction.

Hurley, Wis, Aug. 70. -[Special.1-
Forest fires are burning on all sides of
this town, also at Gle, three miles west
of here. A heavy gale is blowing and
it carries sparks long distances, and
it is hard to tell what the conse-
ouences will be. We are well sup
piled with fire apparatus and citizens
are out in force and business is suspended
for fire fighting. The fire is now within
the town limits and has burned a few
small buildings. At this time it looks as
if the firemen can control it enough to
make the town safe. The Montreal
River Lumber company's mill is threat
ened, but they will probably be able to
save their property

port Bryan and Sewall. l have always
voted the regular Democratic ticket and
shall make no exception this year. 1t is
my purpose to devote my time to the
practice of law and to my private bust
ness. I have, however, signi6ed my
willingness to make two or three
speeches in Georgia for the state and
national ticket, but the time necessary
for the resumption of attention to my
professional and private business will
not permit me to enter actively into the
campaign outside ny own state"
Gov. Francis, Secretary Smiths sue
cessor, will reach Washington some time

terest it was in a way disappointment
to the exclusive set in society here ow-

SEPARATED MANY YEARS.
Former Fond du Lac Man, Now Wealthy,
Finds His Brother in Chicago.


Finds His Brother in Chicago.
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 25.-For the first
time in his life Thomas Doheney of
Fond du Lac, Wis, slept in the Audi
forum Annex last night. His quarters
in Mike Kenna's saloon were exchanged
for a luxurious suit Of apartments, aud
his brother, 3. L. Doheney of Los An
geles, CAL, a mine owner worth half o
million dollars, was with him and re-
joicing. The meeting of the two broth
ers after separation of tWenty-four
years was effected through the efforts of
the police of the central station.
e. L. Doheney, who counts his wealth
by the hundreds of thousands, left his
home in Fond du Lac, Wis, when he was
16 years old. His mother and father, a
sister and his brother Thomas, who was
two years his junior, were left behind
For time young Doheney struggled
against fate unsuccessfully. At length
he resolved to go West, and boarding a
train he did not stop until he reached the
Pacific coast. At Los Angeles he settled
down to hard work, and by frugality at
length saved enough money to secure
small interest in a mine The profits
from his investment were reinvested and
the property was developed into one of
the best on the coast
He had often thought Of the members
of his family whom he had left behind,
and he longed to have them with him to
share his wealth. With this idea in
mind he started for his home a month
ago. When he reached Fond du Lac
be was grieved to learn Of the death of
his parents and his only sister. His
brother, the neighbors told him, had
come to Chicago and had fallen into bad
habits. Mr.. Doheny came to this city
and set about the task of searching for
his brother. The detectives secured all
the resorts and Were unsuccessful until
yesterday, when, by a mere accident,
they located the man.
The brothers will spend several days
in the city and then leave for the Pa
cific coast, where they will make their
home. The case of their mutual dis
covery is regarded by the police as one of
unusual interest.
