a most thrilling experience was that
OF a party of loggers in charge OF Au-
gust Mason, Of Chippewa Falls. The
logging crew was returning from the
camps at Cedar Lake. 1t had a race for
life. having a handicap over the flames
of eight miles. and having but one mile
to cover to reach a 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 unbearabIe the first section of
the loggers and their steess barely
reached the goal in time, dashing into
the lake. where they remained until the
flames passed over. The four men who
We're in the rear are missing, and are
believed to have persisted. Many per-
sons sought refuge in wells.

John Linville and wife board at 40 Mas
sachusetts avenue. Yesterday evening Mrs.
Linville's husband came in great haste TO
the police station with the story that mis-
wife thought she had been robbed. Some
time yesterday afternoon Mrs. Linville
missed a pocketbook containing some small
coin, a few visiting cards and diamond
ring. Quite naturally she jumped at the
conclusion that the Valuables had been
stolen. When Holtz and Wallace, bicycle
police, went to see the Linyilles last night
the woman asserted that she had looked
everywhere for the pocketbook and 1t could
not be found. Patrolman Wallace suggested
that she might have placed 1t on the
dresser" where it could have easily rolled
to the floor and have been overlooked. Mrs.
Linville was positive the purse was taken
from bureau drawer She said she never
kept it on the dressing case. The patrol-
man insisted, however, that his theory
would bear investigation, and Mrs. Llnville
consented to look under the dresser" She
found the pocketbook on the floor and her
diamond safe and snug.
