age or loss of life is not certain. The en-

perate condition near Vassar. These fugi-
tives lost everything. All tell thrilling sto-
ries of escape from death. They wandered
amid smoke and flames during twenty-four
hours, standing often up TO their necks In
water to escape the heat. Two men were
found in a dazed condition on the ground
near the track, with their hair singed and
clothes nearly burned off. They were res
cued, and recovered consciousness, though
terribly frightened by their awful exper-
fence.
Besides immense quantities OF lumber
and wood. two large numbering outfits with
over one hundred wagons are known TO be
burned. The drivers and bushmen have
scattered In all directions and out Of two
hundred only about thirty known to
have reached a place of safety. The re-
mainder are doubtless struggling through
the woods for their lives.
The intensity of the flames precludes the
possibility of any dead bodies being re-
covered as they would be reduced to ashes
The fatalities will not be known until
contractors can call the roll of the men
they employed. Struggling settlers who
persisted may never be known as no rec

trict. The total loss is estimated at N.-
