DEATH BY FIRE
Many Miles of Flames Rayage
Big Forests in the North

500 PERSONS ARE ENTRAPPED


WARREN, MINI. AND LA BRO
QUERIE. MAN, KNOWN TO BE IN
FIERY GRASP.
Winnipeg, Man. April 23.-The city
is in fever of excitement caused by
the awful bush fires now raging along
the line of the Southeastern railway.
All the country from La Broquere.
about so miles down the line, to War
rem, Mimi, a distarce of 75 miles. is
known to be in the grasp of the fire,
which is sweeping the forest in all di-
rections, famed by a strong easterly
wind, and the number of human be-
ing entrapped is estimated at fully 500,
composed chiefly of scattered settlers
and men employed in the lumber
camps.
No messages have been received
since o'clock Saturday, when the
operator at Woodbridge, about ten
miles this side of Vassar, reported that
the special train bearing Buchanan &
Keith's men and railway officials had
been within four miles of Vassar and
were driven back by flames. From
stragglers who have escaped they
learned that 100 teams, with all camp
ing outfits, had been abandoned, and
that the men have scattered for their
lives in all directions. One hundred
thousand ties and ten thousand cords
OF wood were burned and the camps
were completely encircled by the rag
ing flames. The special train had just
left on another trail to break through
the flames and attempt additional
rescues. Since that time no word has
been received and the officials con-
clude that Woodbridge is burned or the
train entrapped. The forests along the
track is dense, and retreat will be i'm
possible.
A rescue train with a strong force
OF men, doctors and supplies was dis
patched at noon, and reached La Bro
Querie safely. Beyond that the whole
forest is a mass of flames. and ad-
vance is impossible. as the track is
burned and the retreat of the special
train cut off. The wires are all down
and no news whatever can be obtain
cd. A settler from Vassar reached the
city last evening, having left home
Friday morning, bringing his belong
lngS ana managing 10 escape tniOuBn
the woods on foot. He reports the
whole country for miles in flames, and
It is almost certain that many lives
are being sacrificed Fortunately the
district is thinly settled, but the grav-
est fears are entertained that loss OF
life among the lumbermen will be Sc
we're. and the railway officials do not
deny that the special train is probably
doomed.
Rescue parties started today for the
scene to attempt to rescue the set
tiers and stragglers. The fires have
been burning for some days In various
quarters. but were not considered seri.
Gus until the strong wind of Thursday
night famed the flames and united de-
tached fires within one tremendous
circle of destruction.

Burglar Alarm in Store AnnOun-

ONE ROBBER CAUGHT.

Tenth Time i'm Two Years This

Wellington. Sept. 11.-Foltz Bros
store at Belle PIaihe has been burglar
lied again for the tenth time IN two
years; but this time the burglars did
not get off as easy as usual. Both of
the Foltz brothers had run wires to
their residences and attached burglar
alarms, SO that they were both aroused
while the men were in the store, and
with the assistance Of the city marshal
and other men succeeded in catching
one of the burglars, after shooting him
in the leg with buckshot.
There were two of the robbers and
they had a. team and buggy to haul
away the SpoilS. The team and buggy
were found yesterday at Wichita, but
the culprit who escaped was not found.
They had packed over 800 worth of
shoes, cigars, etc, in sacks and had
two empty sacks to be filled when they
were scared away The fellow who was
caught was wearing a pair of shoes that
We're stolen from the same store three
or four weeks ago, and letters he car
ried revealed the stopping place of the
two men in Wichita, so that it is very
likely the other one win be picked up
by the police of that city.
There was SO much public indigna-
tion in Belle Plaine against the robbers
that 1t was considered best by the city
officers to bring the one captured to the
county Jail to prevent mobbing.
The burglar brought down from Belle
Plaine yesterday gives his name as Al
fred Anderson He is known in Wich-
tia as Slim He had lately been re-
leased from a term of 80 days in the
Sedgwick county jail. The horse and
buggy which he drove to Belle PLANE
were stolen from a farmer near that
city Friday night, and the man who
drove it back turned the team loose near
the place where it was stolen. AndeT--
son says he was not acquainted with the
man who helped him rob the store, but
that he met him few days ago in a
saloon at Wichita. The man told him
that if he would come to Belle PLANE
Saturday night they could do some
business. Anderson walked to Belle
PLANE and met him, and says the other
fellow entered the store by the skyhght
and let him in at the door,
People at Belle Plaine had believed
for some time that local talent was
guilty of the burglaries, but they are
now convinced that one or both of the
Wichita men have been engaged in the
previous robberies. Anderson says the
other fellow made him a present of the
shoes he wore. Two shots were fired at
them as they ran up an outside stair
way, but only one buckshOt took effect.

other fellow jumped from the top of
the stairway to the ground behind and
thus made his escape.

his present wife, whom he met in Chi
cago the year after his victory over the
mighty Sullivan at New Orleans In
eptember, 1892 Corbett was introduced
to his wife by aswell-known local sport
ing man.
Mrs. Corbett came originally from
Omaha, and her maiden name was Vera
Stanley. She is a woman of remarkable
beauty, with the clearest blond coloring
and majestic carriage. Corbett appar-
emily was all devitiOn when with his
wife, and lavished upon her the money
he made in such handsome sums in a
comparatively short time. The news of
Mrs. Corbett's having served notice of
her intention to sue for a divorce came
as a surprise in sporting circles, but the
story of the prearranged istic argument
between Mccoy and her husband was
accepted as a confirmation of the gem
eral opinion that the battle was 'jobbed'
when the papers were signed, bringing
together those two masters Of the box
ing art. Corbett's precipitate departure,
if he actually went on the Campania
Saturday, as reported, savors very much
of practical desertion- Since opening
a saloon on Broadway, formerly occu-
pied by the Parker house, Corbett is
said to have prospered In a business
way, and it is believed that he has held
ON to the fortune his fists brought him.

WIFE oF CORRETT
Declares Mccoy Corbett Fight Was a
Rank Fake.

New York, Sept. u.-Former Heavy
weight Champion James J.. Corbett's
sudden departure for Europe, when
coupled with the story of his having
faxed his fight with. Mccoy. afforded
rare morsel of gossip to followers of
pugilisTn, many of whom were convinced
before the hippodrome was pulled off
that there was something doing" Com
ing SO soon after the battle, Mrs. Cor
belts revelations concerning the fixing
of the fight naturally created something
akin to a sensation, and her disclosures
are generally believed. There had been
rumors of domestic discord between the
Corbetts before the fighters hurried exit
from his saloon and subsequent depart
ure for some unknown port. Apparently
the pompadoured Slugger lived happily
with his wife, and they were much to-
gether in public since he made New
York his permanent home. Corbett car
ried his wife to California before his
meeting with Fftzsimmons at Carson
City in March, 1897, and she remained
there with his parents during the pro-
gress of his Waterloo at the Nevada
town
Corbett's matrimonial affairs have oc-
casioned a deal of gossiping, but it was
not thought that his second marriage
partook in any way of the chickering's
that marked his venture with the Wo-
man who married him when an humble
employe of a San Francisco bank and
hung to him while he was establishing
his reputation as a pugiliSt. Mrs. Cor

Corbett attained fame in the roped
square, and he lost no time in marrying
