Milwaukee, Oct. 4.-The pecuniary
damage wrought by the forest fires in
the northwest part of the state cannot
be estimated ct present 1t may
amount to anywhere between $1,000
900 and $1,000. Many days will
elapse before the extent of the ruin of
the fiery element will be known. n
gneral rain throughout the state last
night will undoubtedly put an end to
the devastation which has continued
with unceasing fury for the past three
days.
Clark, Chippewa and Barron coun-
ties appear to have suffered the great
est destruction. Over 100 people are
reported missing in the vicinity of
Rice Lake; sixty families are homeless
hear Cumberland; seventy-tive at Tur-
tie Lake and many farmers have lost
all their property and had a narrow
escape themselves. 1t is also believed
that many persons were burned to
death in their efforts at fighting the
flames and who were unable to escape
when their efforts failed.
4 most thrilling experience was that
of party Of 1oggers in charge of Au-
gust MdSOu VI Su1ppCNd ans AAN
logging crew were returning from the
camps at Cedar lake. They had a race
for their lives, having a handicap over
the flames of eight miles, with but
one mile to cover to reach place of
safety The race was most exciting
and resulted in the probable loss of
four Of the crew. The party ran in
two sections, making for a lake with
all their might, mounted on horses.
With the heat and smoke almost I'M
bearable the first section of the log
gers and their steeds barely reached
the goal in time, dashing into the lake
where they remained until the flames
passed over them. The four men who
were in the rear are missing and are
believed to have persisted. Many per-
sons sought refuge in wells.

1t came in a minute and lasted about
twenty. The rain fell in torrents, flooded
the streets, put out the flying cinders, and
best of ALL gave a little hope to panic
stricken people. The rain alone made it
possible to save the West side. Nothing
could save the lumber yards, mills or
houses already burning; the rain never
touched those fires, the heat was too in.
tense
At 10 o'clock the people again took
courage and moved back to the city.
They fought hard and saved the West
part of the town. From this time on the
wind gradually abated and the fire was
confined to the burning buildings.
The people now began to breathe easier
Those owning homes near the fire districts
went back and endeavored to save them
from destruction. The heat was still in
tense, but the rain had put damper on
everything and it was much easier to
prevent the spread of fire from sparks
and cinders The burning of the lumber
yard now presented an imposing sight,
the flames rising to height of fifty feet.
Those not actively engaged in fighting fire
gathered on the principal street and
watched the burning of the lumber piles,
while few of the more thoughtful insti-
tUted an inquiry to find shelter for the
homeless and discover, if possible, if there
had been any fatalities. Up to late hour
this afternoon no fatalities were reported,
although one farmer named Peter Eek
lund living south of the city, was caught
in the fire and was so badly burned that
his recovery is doubtful.
The total loss in the city will aggregate
about $685. The loss falls principally
on the Beaver Dam Lumber company
whose loss will reach 100000. Twenty
families were rendered homeless. whose
aggregate loss will be $4,000. The livery
