Winnipeg, Man, April 21.-A big bush
fire is raging at Vassar, eighty four miles
southwest, and about thirty-five men are
surrounded. When the fire assumed Sc
rious aspect a special train was sent out
to bring the men, numbering over 800,
in. Thinking to save the horses, about
thirtyfiye remained behind. After the
train started those on board saw how
bad the fire was and the train undertook
to return but could not get through and
came on to Winnipeg. Another train
bearing physicians has now set out.
Another serious bush fire has broken
out at Dawson.
st. Paul, Mimi, April 21.-A Winni-

now feared that twenty to thirty lives
have been lost in the forest fires along
the Southwestern railway. The delayed
regular train arrived early today and the
lumbermen who had escaped from the
fires confirm all reports of the serious

WRIGHT LEAVES 100000.
Will of Manufacturer Filed in Pro-
bate Court-Many Requests.

Chicago ILL.,, April 21.-Robert Wright,
the bicycle-tire manufacturer, who was
shot in the Leland hotel last Saturday,
left an estate valued at 100000. The
will was filed for probate yesterday.
This estimate of the value of the estate
is thought by many who were acquaint-
ed with the affairs of the deceased to be
conservative, and it is believed the
amount will reach $1,000000 when the
executors have gone over all the items.
The personal property valuation is $780,
600 and the real estate is valued at
100000.
The dead manufacturer distributed
$123,SOO in requests among relatives and
others, but left nothing to charity or
public institutions.
The residue of the property, real per-
sonal or mixed. was left to the widow,
Mrs. Mary Helen Wright of HOB Wash
ington boulevard, and Mary A. Morgan,
1903 Washington boulevard, and Lizzie
Josephine Brent, 1104 Washington boule-
ward, daughters, share and share alike.

the woman who was with Mr.. Wright
when he was shot in the Leland hotel,

LOVE BY WIRE COLLECT"
She had Him Arrested ard for Three
Months He will Send No More.


New York, April 21.-Business was
never dull in the District Telegraph of
flee, Broadway and Thirtieth street,
when William Mann was about. Mann
is a dry goods clerk. At one time he
boarded in the same house with Miss Ida
Halstead, also dispenser of dry goods,
and conceived a violent affection for her,
which obliged Miss Halstead to move.
Then Mann took up quarters in the mes
senger office and bombarded her with
kilograms.
After having received a few thousand
messages, the servants where Miss Hal
stead abides struck. Then the young
woman had Mann summoned to the JEFF
ferson Market court.
Just look at these kilograms" said a
friend of the complainant to a reporter
He read:

He did ask me to marry him, but l re-

office say that he would send kilograms

hardly reached the wire"
Mann caressed shabby silk hat as the
hearing progressed and wept copiously.

GATES is INDICATED.
His Action in Closing Steel and
Wire Mills Approved by
Board of Directors.

New York, April 21.-John w. Gates
considers himself indicated by the action
taken yesterday by the directors of the
American Steel and Wire company. The
vote to sustain Chairman Gates in his
contention that the iron and steel trade
was not in good condition was unani-
nous, even the Selgman crowd, as the
anti-Gates faction is known, voting to
refer all trade matters to the executive
committee, which consists Of Mr.. Gates,
Isaac l.. Ellwood and William Edenborn.
Wall Street was Fooled.
The Herald prints an interview with
Mr.. Gates in which he said.
You see | was right. The directors
saw it, too, and every one of them voted
that | was right The vote of the d-
rectOrs was unanimOus-a vindicatiOn
am proud of. What the directors admit
now, by their action in authorizing the
reduction in prices, others VIII also ad-
init within fortnight. l told the truth
IN. Wall street and they thought | vas
lying. said the steel business had
and wall street attacked NE III every
way, Wall street is not used to hear
ing the truth. That's what fooled them.
nut You will sec the other steel people
falling in line, and mark my word. it
won't be long, either, before everything
l nave said will be corroborated by ac-
tual Developments"
With this cut in the price of products.
the mills closed down the other day will
be reopened soon, will they not?'' asked
the interviewer
No. replied Mr.. Gates, "this will have
no immediate effect on the mills. ] can't
say when they will open up but not in
the immediate future anyway"
Not Before September.
A friend who has been close to Mr..
Gates said afterward that he doubted if
the steel wire mills would start up be-
fore September. All attempt was made
again to have Mr.. Gates commit himself
on this point, but he positively refused.
A billet contract calling for heavy
amount of material from the Illinois Steel
company brought out the fact that the
American Steel and Wire company owed
about 100000, and the officers of the
Illinois Steel company were unable to OBJ
tam any satisfactory arrangement or set
Element of the debt with the Wire COM
pany. When the representatives of the
Illinois Steel company presented their
case the board of directors of the Wire
company at once recognized the claims
and authorized Il settlement in full. 1t
was said after the meeting that Mr..
Gates undertook to make some excuses
for his course. but afterward admitted
that the Illinois Steel companys position
was right.
Prices GO Down 80 Per Cent.
Immediately after the directors ad-
