Michigan, along the right of way of
the Wisconsin and Michigan railway,
Saturday and Sunday. The property
damage will be large. The town of
Ames. Michigan. was practically wiped
out, entailing loss of $4,000 or more.
Considerable cedar stock at Nathan,
Michigan, was also destroyed. The
Wisconsin X Michigan ran n special
train up the line Sunday to rescue the
fire-stricken people in the small vii
lagos along the road. All the inhabit-

1t is feared that the Wisconsin &

last night was unable to get further
north than Fisher. At the latter place
only heroic resistance stved the town.
Forest fires are burning everywhere
north of here, and further damage will
result unless there is rain. The coun-
try Is very dry and the fires spread rap

Fires are said to bc burning along the
