TOWNS IN DANGER.
Forest Fires Near Battle Lake an
Grand Encampment. WyO.

Forest Fires Near Battle Lake ana
Grand Encampment. WyO.
Saratoga, Wyo., Aug. %. - Forest
fires continue to rage in the mountains
between Battle Lake and Grand En-
campment, and those towns and the
numerous mining camps and sheep
camps are threatened with destruc-
ton. The herders were forced to
drive their flocks high up in the
mountains to get feed owing to the
scarcity of both feed and water on the
plains below, and it is feared that the
flames have surrounded many OF these
herders with their focks. The timber
is as dry as finder and burns f1ercely.
Nothing can stop the flames except a
heavy rain. It is estimated that the
loss thus far, exclusive of the millions
of feet Of timber, will be over 100000.
Miners have Joined the forest rangers
in fighting the fires. Their combined
effort, however, seems to be of no
avail.

But not one Of the dispatches is clear
as to how late this condition of affairs

Empress Dowager Escaped.
Yesterdays dispatches seem to
make clear that the emperor and em-
press dowager have made their escape
from Peking, and that about the only
present service Of the imperial palace
and grounds is an asylum in which
the demoralized Chinese soldiers are
making a last stand. The Japanese
legation's advices showed that the

seen leaving Peking on the 18th, and

Consul General Goodnow advised the

all tugboat captains against whom
charges of refusing to save life can be

apply for warrants charging two tug
boat captains with murder. and he has
evidence that these men used boat
hooks to keep drowning men from
climbing ON their tugs because the un-
fortunates had no money.
